With there not being any parts available we have to design and make every part. Some times this leads to re-doing a design several times. The firing pin is a case in point. The initial design was to use a H&K 91 firing pin that was turn down to fit the VG1-5. The reason for […] Once again time has gotten away from me. We are in the shop 7 days a week working on the projects and stuff actually gets accomplished. The updates this week will show the good and the bad that we have had in the last couple of weeks. First will be the really bad and that […] Here at Gun Lab. net we have been working on a number of projects. Quite a few videos have been made and as soon as I can get Ian down to help me correct the problems with Pinnacle studio they will be posted.

So 2 mil gave us the correct look without too […] We are going to take a short break from the lower receiver and do some work on the upper rear top cover. This piece is what holds the ejector in place and covers the rear of the upper receiver. In the original rifle it also contained the fire control mechanism.
