i'm working on a barrett m82 replica., what do you think?

That's really good dude. Is that a machine butt plate I seem

>>1089883
*I see?

>>1089846
Quite impressive...

>>1089846
I'm impressed. Details?

>>1089846
building a gun isn't illegal unless you live in a third world shithole like anyone but america, especially yurop and ausland.


this looks like you are putting an awful lot of effort into it. why not just build a real one?

>>1089846

it would make a good prop

>>1089846
Do you plan on making a "functional" action?

>>1089928
He'd probably end up blowing his hand off because of chamber pressure or something.
It's not as if you couldn't apply a metallic finish to almost any surface given some effort, if you were only going for looks.

>>1089928
It's not illegal to build a gun in the US either, so, IDK what shithole you are talking about. Nowhere does he even claim it was illegal to do so. He just mentioned that he wasn't making a real one because real guns are not allowed by this board's rules. That's what the weapons board is for.

>>1090003
You can buy chambered 12.7mm barrels phamalam.

>also americas limit is 12.7mm without a class 3.
>should realistically be 30mm.

>>1091031
No, it should be 120mm.

>/k/ really thinks this.

>>1090007
He didn't say it was illegal in America
>anyone BUT America

Here in italy is illegal to make a gun with a power over 1 joule.

>>1089928
>why not just build a real one?

You know nothing about guns, stop

>>1091263
Nerf btfo

Why not
Those needing 120mm for nefarious means would usually be better suited with ied's.
Dont have to fight tanks or APC's, and theyre hard enough to hide that theres little reason not to

>>1091037
It should be none. Swiss thinks that.

added some fluting to the barrel.

>>1091310
Did you seriously just suggest that:
Someone doesn't need a Barrett M82?
That the Barrett M82 fires a 120mm round?

Wut?

Thanks.

>>1092836
Yeah very nice....Moar

>>1092836
Very nice work. Any pics of you actually working on it? I love seeing rough manly hands sanding wood. It's all I can masturbate to anymore.

>>1089846
You can easily cram an airsoft gearbox into that and make a shitload off of airshit kiddies.

>man killed by police after they mistake a prop weapon for the real deal

Looks gorgeous OP

Question though: What was the base white paint you used? It looks very smooth, did you just brush it on or any special process used?

>>1093829
Its a 2k polyester primer. After sanding it became so smooth.

>>1093796
Air valve?

>>1094357
yes. its a pneumatic gun with a QEV.

Its pretty sweet, nice job mate. Sent it a pic off to a friend who makes prop guns for tv shows and he loved it.

>>1093822
It'd be a fucking 'terrorist incident' in my part of the world.

>>1091309
This. Good luck building a fucking Barrett

>>1091037
Should be larger desu

>>1094357
>>1094381
Videos?

Why not turn it into a nerf gun? Gut the piston from some old pellet rifle and you have it

>>1089928
>just build a real one
Guns are complex machines not a quesadillas.

>>1091031
>You can buy chambered 12.7mm barrels phamalam.

you can buy a whole m82 phamalam

How hard would it be to build an actual magazine fed .50 cal rifle?

Barrets look like mostly sheet metal with a machined half inch pipe.

You can Google all you need to know, and the details won't fit ITT.

The very fact that the barrel reciprocates back just tells me that it's more than that. Depending on your country/state it might be legal to make your own firearm, try starting with something far more simple like a single shot bolt action and I think you'll see how hard and long of a process it really is.

>>1094929
>How hard would it be to build an actual magazine fed .50 cal rifle?
not hard at all, you can buy them off the shelf in Canada

>>1096768

it's not that complicated, as far as rifles or machining goes.

it's a mass-produced anti-materiel rifle, which means accuracy isn't a huge factor and it means tolerances can be much more sloppy and the build can be much more simple.

>>1096847
Haven't you played Medal of Honour? It's an extremely precise rifle

>>1096902
I'm not quite sure if you're joking.

On any other board it'd be clear, but /diy/ is pretty firearms illiterate.

>>1094477
The guy who invented it designed it with no firearms or engineering background and had the prototypes built by a normal local machine shop.

You could totally build one if you had a decent home shop and knew what you were doing, but I doubt many of /diy/ meet both qualifications. (Not that I'm saying I do either, btw.)

>>1094607
lol

no
