AMT Automag II – replace safety lever
A few days ago a friend left one of those Automags on my work bench. “Just needs the broken safety lever replaced and doesn’t eject properly.” He supplied a new safety lever and two springs and bearing balls (BB) each. Ok, first thing I always do is […] In the last post the high speed video was of the first generation VG1-5 that was built a number of years ago by John. What we here at Gun Lab did was start and finished the first 5 VG1-5 rifles. The remaining weapons are currently being built but the first 5 are going through very […] Sunday Axel and I got together with Ian and Carl from Forgotten Weapons to do some high speed photographing of the VG1-5. The information that was obtained holds a number of clues to re-occurring issues that have come up. For the next week or so I will be posting high speed and standard videos of […] A while back a friend of gun lab brought over a new press.

When they were available I had no money and you know the rest of the story. This rifle is a Model 1941 short rifle with a transitional stock. It uses […] For us the show starts on the Wednesday before with the machine gun shoot. About 50 to 60 people showed up. It was a great deal of fun. There were two MG-34’s setup on both sides of me and they worked great. I took a video of then and I am working on a loop […] In the post I talked about the trip to the storage shed. This pile of stuff came about because I just asked. I was doing a job for a home owner and in the back yard was this pile. The home owner said she wanted it gone. So at my house sets to kilns […] It has been a while since I have posted an up-date on the VG1-5 project. The fire control groups have all been assembled and tested. The top covers have been fitted to the rifles. Here are a few pictures of the rifles getting ready for the next operation. A quick video […] |
