Test run?

I have already spun it up a couple times, shes straight and balanced. Noisy too.

General Mcgregor · Jun 5, 2017

Grip assembly is almost done, control box is next.

Looking really good. Great job.

I've been looking for plans to build one for my gun truck, subscribed!

A few years ago there was a registered transferable Dillon Aero 134 for sale, it took about a month but if I remember right it went for just under 300K! Ammo Extra!

Finished the grip assembly and got the mounting bosses welded to the rear of the body

General Mcgregor · Jun 16, 2017

Feeder/Delinker is almost done, just need to add the mounting brackets and a couple more cosmetic touches. Spring door for the ammo feed works great!

General Mcgregor · Jun 27, 2017

Forward mounts and the door on the Feeder/Delinker are finished, just a few cosmetic things left and I should be just about done with the main part of the gun. Still looking for a mount pin that will fit the M66.

There is a LOT of work going into this project of yours.

Looking good.

Someone asked me the other day if I would build them one and how much would I charge? :roll:

I already have well over 100 man hours into this build and I don't even want to know how much in material, I think it's safe to say this will be one of a kind.

General Mcgregor · Jul 4, 2017

Safe to say I've made some progress so far this week.

Finished the simulated discharge chute and "roller tracks" on both the delinker and the body, also got the electrical enclosure on top of the motor done and test fit the first amphenol connector.

This project is something else, one-of-a-kind.

It's looking beautiful.

What's the story behind the diagonal "straps" on the two separate cylinders?

General Mcgregor · Jul 4, 2017

Those "straps" are meant to represent the roller tracks for the firing bolts and feeder pistons.

That is a frightening bit of machinery.

Another Ahab · Jul 4, 2017

Depending of course whether you're on the sending end, or the receiving end.

It's all the difference.

General Mcgregor · Jul 12, 2017

Prep, paint and main assembly is finished. Nothing left to do now but finish the control box, get the decals and finish the mount. This thing is heavy.

Once the electrical stuff is all done I'll get something up for you guys.

General Mcgregor · Jul 20, 2017

Decals and quick release pins done. Project will be complete by the end of this weekend.

Another Ahab · Jul 21, 2017

So fine. It's all been worth the wait.
