something interesting.

[turbothis]

while looking for some metal at the local yard something caught my eye. i bought a stick of it and milled some holes in it and i like it. they have a lot of it so if anyone wants some give me a jingle! it is just over an inch id. and the cetme grip fits over the lower with room to make a stock attachment still.

[Smokehouse69]

That is sweeeeeet! Looks perfect the for 7.62x25 round! :rockon:

[brewskzilla]

Okay, what you need to do is call the patent office immediately and get the ball rolling. I'm not kidding. The man who "Invented" the slinky did so accidentally. The Frisbee and the hoola-hoop were similarly discovered. Why not the turbothis SMG?

[texlurch]

How much for a piece about a foot long? PM me...

thanks!

[turbothis]

thats about 25 minutes later..... i would love to make these where a cetme grip pins right on and away you go but they might call it full auto. i think i might make a bolt action that the grip pins onto it just to make a point!

[texlurch]

I need to get back home from offshore and take some measurements, but that might be the perfect thing for the CZ26 pistol I want to build..

[WildBillCody]

Is it steel? does the CETME lower fit snugly?

[GearShanty]

I'd be interested in a couple feet.
PM or email me when you are ready to ship some.

[turbothis]

the tube is .120" wall steel. there is roughly 1.060" id for the bolt. od is 1.315" height is 1.620" square is .750" and the cetme grip is about .900" so it had .150" slack to it.

how long does it come?

[texlurch]

Can someone measure the O.D. of a CETME or G3 receiver? I am cooking up a plan and need to see how much slop there will be.

thanks (from the Gulf of Mexico)

[WildBillCody]

Oh yeah, I'd take a couple of feet maybe four, I make allot of mistakes.
Let me know.
Mike

[turbothis]

this comes in 20-22 foot sticks! plenty for everyone. i can cut this down for you too.

i got 1.630 on the cetme rear receiver. hard to get anything accurate though.

hmmm, so it fits a bit sloppy? No biggie, ways around that as well.

thanks!

[turbothis]

i can weld a "wrap" around it to pad it up to "close to" spec i guess. i have to try but i imagine it is not to hard.
what do you plan on doing to the rails area of the stock? i guess you can just notch out the receiver where it is.

yeah, I can add whatever I need to make up the slop, no biggie. Plus I need to shorten the stock piece, since the MP5 only uses one rear pin.

I'll be talking to you on odds and ends for the recoil guide/cocking tube as well...

[Planning]

any one the max length you can ship ups?
i don't know what i would use it for, but i think i could find something to make with it.

good find, turbo.

[texlurch]

I know they have delivered stuff at least 6 ft long, they may go longer...

[texlurch]

On second thought, I need to measure the ID of a MP5 stock housing, to see if it will slip over this tubing. Anyone have one around they can put an eyeball on?

I've never even seen one of those STEN receiver kits, so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but, there's probably nothing illegal about selling metal stock with dotted lines on it. The Internet abhors censorship, so, some anonymous person could post a detailed fact sheet about how to make damned sure BATFE could *not* determine that some home-brew weapon was FA. Or, NOT anonymously.
A less-than-honorable person could buy a rubber stamp that said "Acme Patio Table Umbrella Pole Bushing w/Keyway" and sell the pieces of it so marked.
Pretty scary, all the way around, tho... a 1mm piece of steel is a "flat", but if you bend it, "too much", by Fed standards, it's a "firearm" (as we all are well aware)....
OTOH, the Federal Thought Police may have already divined what could happen with a piece of alloy that has departed the benign, flat status, and they're gassing up the black helos RIGHT NOW...I'm gonna go throw all of my stale bread in the creek, lest some LSD mold might be found on it, since the Thought Police will now associate ME with your evil, extruded ( I know that it's probably "forged" rather than extruded, but, "forged steel receiver" is just gonna make it worse w/the Feds..)
WMD's.

"If" you make a boltgun out of it, I'm sure you'd bear in mind the Pedersen Device (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedersen_device) and allow some "wiggle room" for a non-FA insert...schweeeeet..

6' is the max length before the lube is needed.

my mp5 stock wont fit my cetme at all. i tryed pretty hard. i could make it fit with some tools, but it is a little different. it seems tighter.

i will have to get a ruling on this soon.

[texlurch]

Will the MP5 stock fit over the new tubing?

[predator86]

i may have to get some of that tubing also.....who know what future projects exist.....

[dahondaboy]

pm me for price on 3' of it.:wink:

[turbothis]

i was thinking of milling up a folding wire stock for these tubes.

[turbothis]

Will the MP5 stock fit over the new tubing?

the stock is 1.750" id and the new tube is 1 5/16" so it fits with room to spare.

[texlurch]

I'm confused; you had 1.630 as the OD on the CETME, but said you couldn't get the MP5 stock to slide over...

Guess I will wait until I can sit down at home and do some eyeballing.

[turbothis]

i thing the shape is a little different. the mp stock seems to have a fatter slot size??? kinda weird i know, it is just not a very easy thing to measure.

[Planning]

turbo,

pm sent for 12' of it and option on 12' more after i look at it.

you guys need to jump on this before it is gone.

:airtight:

[turbothis]

i would like to find a machine that does this to get more. anyone know of such a thing?????

[SteelCore]

"throw all of my stale bread in the creek, lest some LSD mold"

Randy, the psychotropic mold that grows on grain is called Ergot. They think that all sortsa ppl that have been seeing withces, god, etc. thru history were suffereing from ergot poisoning.

[Mike_262]

I'd like a 6 foot piece of that as well. Post when you figure the cost and shipping.

Mike

[lima]

Looks interesting!

Could you PM me with a price on 3'

Thanks very much.

[riddbits]

This looks like it would be perfect for doing a reduced diameter Swedish K semi. Hmmmmm..... I gotta dig out the kit and do some measuring.

[turbothis]

hey buddy! welcome over here. you should check out some of my builds here.
i figure 20$ shipped for a 12" or 16" peice and a 15$ price break for 6 foot and over.
i got a peice of steel for the bolt too........i will lathe one up soon.

[riddbits]

Thanks for the welcome. It looked like you were doing something along the lines of the K. I think I am going to need some of this tubeing. Your discount for 6' lengths, does it come pre chopped?

[turbothis]

i can band saw it to what ever you like!

[boss429]

Email for 6' sent.

[Planning]

Email for 6' sent.

:America: welcome to the site :airtight:

[xernex]

hrmmm... I'm interested here... I dont have gun building experience but I do see the opportunity to build a custom paintball marker... ID is a bit big but thats what sleeves are made for...

Sadly I think i'd hafta tool up a lil more than I'm financially prepared to do right now to make this work... lord knows it'll be stuck in my mind all night though

[kevin]

i would love to get 3 feet of this !!!!! i would like to build a blowback 7.62x25 and 9mm. I would love to build an mp5 look alike like you did with the suomi drum. Do you plan to sell bolts too? an ak FCG would be cool to use as well

[kevin]

i think a suomi look a like would be possible with this "receiver" i ordered a kit and will see what it looks like when i get it.

[turbothis]

i have started a bolt and it really does not take long. i can make trunions and what ever else......

[boss429]

What's the status of your build?

[kevin]

i would like parts once you have a kit we can use to build it up

ive allready got 3 feet of that tube stuff i bought from you

[turbothis]

well i can make parts fast but they are just cold rolled steel. i cant find the 4103 or 4140 steel to save my life!!!!

i usaully run into a material or tool roadblock with my projects. that is why most come to a stop.

Steel tubing...huuummmmmm.....here ya go: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/mepages/4130tubing_un1.php

I have bought from them a few times. Easy to deal with. No problems yet...

[lima]

+1 on Aircraft Spruce.

Wicks Aircraft is good too
http://www.wicksaircraft.com/catalog/product_cat.php/subid=5430/index.html

...So is Speedy Metals, no minimum order, lots of variety including 4140

[wonderwolf]

Hm this does look like it would work well with a suomi bolt conversion. What other bolts will fit into it after reducing the OD on them? As I wanna build just a 9mm plinker using whatever SMG bolt I can get for cheap :kookaid:

[MGMike]

PM me when you are ready to sell some.

Thanks,

Mike

[wonderwolf]

Any updates with this?

[turbothis]

it is hard to play and to make money at the same time. for now i have chose money but soon if i get ahead i will get this going.

i need a slave worker

[heavy_weapons_guy]

Turbo,
do you have anymore of this tubing left?? I need about 20 inches of this stuff if you got any... Also, Expect a package from me shortly... I have the ca$h now to have you build my AMD-65 kit into a gun...

[turbothis]

i have a ton!
i can sand blast it now too.

[heavy_weapons_guy]

Sounds great!

Do you think a PPS-43 bolt would slide down this if you clipped off the cocking handle and drilled the bolt thru for installation of a firing pin?

If so, PM me with a price on about 20 inches of this stuff along with your price to drill/modify a PPS-43 bolt for semi-auto *and* build an AMD-65 sidefolder..

Thank you :icon_biggrin:

[WildBillCody]

I would like a couple as well.
I'll Pm you
