I too am always happy to see your updated photos. You have a talent shown in your work. If you don't think so then why is everyone not making one of these?

hey Rob, really looking forward to seeing more pics from you. Have you begun on the shrouds yet?

I'll be slowing down a bit. I've cheated a bit, and ordered a set of shrouds. I'm still working on a few things, but right now I am getting a few trek things done to fund my GL M870.

no such thing as cheatin dude if i had the money i would be beating my way to matts door ,you do whats right for you mate, the work you done so far is outstanding ,to each his own whatever you do be proud of it ,youv'e more than impressed me , i know your sufferin withdrawl so i will sling these up for ya ,the mag is a TM soon to be swapped out by a jester original but the mag release now works and it slips out sweet as a nut,got to sort out a spring for it but thats trivia, i cant cope with you and nick hopping from one foot to the other anymore ,all the best , Rob

i still cant believe you built that from scratch. just looks so damn like the real deal.

are you going to build a remmington look alike to go inside the spas cage? is it going to cycle rounds? can i wait to see more?

noooooooo!!

you two are funny guys its a real pleasure to know you i thank you as always,now myron bugger off to bed and no video's smutty boy nick unless you got a remington laying about doing nothin i guess i had better make one, i can drive everyone daft askin for plans /drawings/photos, need to find out how the buggers work before i try to make one ,how much of the shells will need to be orange to make it legal if i can get it to cycle ?? its a pleasure as always gents, Rob

sadly rob i don't have one lying around (as much as i wish i did). i dont think its too important to build a remmington replica and slide it in the cage, just build the mechanism inside the cage to cycle the shells. Ive seen other do it this way and it looks just as good

WHOA!!

Just amazing work! How heavy is it? Must feel like a ton!

thanks guys ,kevin i love the stuff you produce your uniforms are truly outstanding your attention to detail is second to none, you were the first guy to welcome me to the forum ,and i hope you see me as an asset rather than a liability ,so i thank you for droppin by and your interest i just threw it all on the scales for ya ,with the thompson ,mag,spas and vent the whole thing comes to 6 pounds so far, i have no idea how much a hero should weigh , but with a remington to sling together and a steel shroud the weight will jump a lot i think, hi patrick good to hear from you again ,dont seem right on here without you postin away and blowin my windows out with your stuff, hurry up and get the new house sorted dude ,i will be chasing you for help with my GL soon,i think i scored some brownie points with your wife, with my moving in gift so tell her you need to start building again to help me out might be worth a try ,thank you all as always , Rob

just a quick ps with the cost of the TM mag i rather blew the budget on this build so the mag will become available sooner or later ,so far adding the mag the whole build has set me back about £45 of wich £23 is the mag i must mention Mark. H a good friend who donated a lot of the steel i have used for no reason other than simply to see if i could do it ,all the best , Rob

Looks great with the magazine.

I've hefted the SD pulse rifle before, and it's not heavy, it's incredibly heavy.



I'm interested to see what your final weight is for this build.

cheers noeland drop by anytime your passing dude, you always got a welcome here,as soon as its finished i will stick up an overall weight and as many specs as i think people will want,all the best mate , Rob

Sorry its been a while since i last updated this my neck gave out on me so had to stop for a while ,here's what i been up to ,finished up the bolt and closed of the ejector slot properly also fitted the ejector plate, just a dummy but it looks the part thats pretty much all the building done on this bit so will spend the next week cleaning it all up and makin it look the part lots of filler and stuff, as always feel free to ask questions leave advice or comments , Rob

That thing looks great. I wish I could build that. I can put things together, but don't have the talent you show. That's why my PR will be a G&P when (if) I get the kit.

dont put yourself down dude i been watching your thread your work is outstanding if i had the money mine would be a G&P too i dare say i will try to turn out a MT myself sooner or later so i will be jumpin up and down on you for ideas and how too's ,pleasure as always doc ,all the best , Rob

Thanks.. But you should know all I had to do was solder a couple wires and burnt my finger

I still think your PR will be more valuable since it was scratch made and not a kit. Not that I am putting those who use kits down. I hope to be joining the kit PR club at the end of the month. Your PR like the MP 5 PR post are one of props. Like Spats work (had he not made molds so that he can share his work with us).

Your scratch build is very impressive. I've always loved seeing something go from nothing to the desired shape.
