Gday Fellas, I didnt see the point of the original machinegun and ive got some of this brass tubing around,so I just knocked this up in front of the TV and it only took about 35mins.Ive used 3.15mm and 4mm tube (not to scale) I used a fine drill and pencil file,and flanged the muzzle by placing a small length onto a countersunk 3mm bolt and backing a nut upto it.

Hi Jeff, I used a 1.5mm drill bit and then used the pencil file to get the holes more accurate coz my drilling wasn't that good. Cheers

That is an incredible piece of work considering that the MG is so small

Really well done..Its almost a pity to have painted it..
