M14 Bulldog 7.62 replica project

good to know! and as for the looks or the other gun, yes, it looks terrible. Like I said, its similar, but not exactly the same, thing wood finish AUG... actually, no, don't think that. I guess we'll see when i get started eh?

maybe I should get a new cutoff lever then... my full auto works perfectly though

yup thats normal..... the macanical switch assembly has a "slider" part that is attached to the rigeer, and when you pull the trigger the slide moves forward and completes the circuit. The cutoff lever is timed so that at a precise moment of the cycle, it will disconnect the slider, so making you only shoot 1 round = SEMI ..... but since its a mecanical thing, it can get worn out, and cause your gun to shoot full auto or burst....(because the circuit isnt disconnected after 1 gearbox cycle)

I have to change mine too, on my AEG....lol

yeah that definitely sounds like what its doing.

I still cant figure out the advantage of a mosfet, as far as I can tell, I still need a switching device to activate the mosfet? I don't entirely understand what I'm reading about them. Does anyone have an example?

[Gunny_McSmith]

mmm sounds like you're going to ahve problem with fitting the motor.... lol....IMO wait for the gbbr m14, and buy the stock! and mod it to make it fit!

Look at the Assembly videos about it on youtube :

No not always. You can have a non programmable mosfet. They are a fairly new thing to the airsoft usage. Where as straight forward mosfet circuits are not. This is what I am using.

MOSFET is an electrical switch. Microcontrollers (8-bit ATMEGA or PIC, or 32-bit controllers) are what you can program.

hey thanks for posting that video, I think for my first production I may stick with a simple bar and use the regular trigger assembly instead of new contacts... we'll see how it works. This does give me some great insight on how it works, thankfully the plans I'm drawing out are pretty close to what he's made. Mine wont have an aluminum wrapped stock, since there are no ejections to worry about... or bolt, for that matter. Should be fun! I'm starting cutting the wood tomorrow

Oh! and PS. once this is done, I'm moving on to make an SVU (SVD bullpup) ... that is, once I have the money, I wanted to make a full DMR this time, upgraded internals and externals, maybe 1.5 grand? if I'm lucky

haha get that budget to 2k...and you could buy the Real m14 Bulldog stock, and a gbb m14 (once WE releases them... :P)...I might try to do that in the future....since a m14 is too big for me....and i love the bulldog m14 stock!!!

[acorn]

haha well that might be a great idea to make one from a real stock, would be super cool.

however, I think at the current time, I'm going to be replacing the broken pieces, upgrade the bucking and finish this stock, then its going straight to the Classified forum... unless I end up falling in love with the bullpup design xD in which case I'm making an AK and buying an AVD front end and making that a bullpup
