@0ddball yeah sorry about that im from the us,even better in california,america's airsoft capital,so internal stuff like gearboxes,inner barrels,hop ups,etc. are no problem for me to get. I just need to know where would be the best place to get the mrtal to make the rest of the gun. Also was wondering if thos would be a good platform for a Colt Monitor.
@TheCommenter71 Yes the Monitor is much the same. Steel should be easy to get hold of you just want 3mm black mild steel plate and maybe 1/4" plate on the top here and here.
@TheCommenter71 First thing mate do yourself a favour and change your youtube channel back to old settings as I don't know where you are.
If you are in the USA you can buy M14 gearboxes easy on line find a Cyma for a cheap but good option. This gun isn't easy to build and I don't know anyone else that has made an airsoft version in this way in steel. Even mine isn't 100% finished just about 95% it needs a mag catch and dummy cocking leaver.
Quick question I'm really interested in making this and I thought y not buy the parts kit for the metal part you had on the paper that way I have that and the bolt all done and modle the rest around it would that work
@Airborneboy506 You will find that there isn't enough space inside the real gun to fit a AEG gearbox as the metal is about 6mm thick. I used 3mm thick steel.
@NoahGoodAtAllSports No sorry I just make one off versions for myself and like to make a video to show others how. Quite a few people have copied my work take a look at all the Thompsons have been made since I posted my Thompson video 3 years or more back. Also 1919A4's.
I used to sell plans on ebay years back but they kept pulling my adds so I gave up making build guides and just do these videos for fun and 2 fingers up to eBay.
@NoahGoodAtAllSports watch?v=6BSISIo7tAE they made 2 after watching these videos and have been selling them for £270 = $446 so not bad for scrap metal.
@0ddba1l 0dbal1 - I just started my BAR today. i couldnt find 3mm or 2mm sheet steel so i had to settle on 1mm steel :-/. i cant wait to see how you sort out a mag catch and finish off the rifle.
@OrangeTaco017 Are you able to weld? I presume so because you need to for this build, if I were you I would hold out and find 2 or 3mm steel as 1mm will flex too much maybe 1.75mm will do the job but in the end I found 3mm worked well as it is easy to weld without blowing holes through it all the time and it gives a good strong result.
@0ddba1l i have my own mig welder that will weld some different thicknesses of steel pretty well. i hope i wont blow any holes in the thin steel. i plan to reincforce the thinner parts in places for more strength and im hoping it will turn out alright. i was hoping for at least 1.5mm. there is a little flexing on my side panels, so reinforcement will probably be needed for it to not bend when picked up and such. i might have to redo the panels if i find some thicker metal to use.
@0ddball thanks man ill tell him right away if he can make it.

Hey I got a friend that might be avle to make me one of these but I need to know how much would it cost and what kind of magazines will it take?
TheCommenter71 1 month ago
@TheCommenter71 It will cost under $100 in parts if you look for parts for a while.
The mag is a real one with a converted M14 internal.

Could you give me the dimensions (HxLxW) of the M14 gearbox?

@slayere23 It is a complex shape so best to buy it before you try to make anything.

@Knightmare3000 Just take it one stage at a time, I have tried to show the best way I thought to build the gun.
I still have to make a magazine catch that it the only tricky part left to make.
