I at the very least hope Troy continues his picture progression here, simply because that show us alot of info right there on how to build it.
Not to stray off topic but my BAR is going Good Nevil. It is a very time consuming build to say the least and not something I think I will try again after I build this one.

Im sorry about that, that really sucks. But yeah fuel has been a big issue here too, its about $3.48 a gallon here and even more for deisel fuel.

I think that this sten is a great concept gun, it has proven that it is very possible to make one of these very easily and make it look very very good too. I personally cant wait to start mine now. I first have to find a good loaner AEG to work from.

That looks great and seems simpel enough to make. I may try may hand at one of these over Christmas break. Along with the Grease Gun I am intending to build also.

Im assuming you mean the Mosquito molds M1928 kit....if so you are quite lucky they have been out of production for a few months now and no one has them plus no one knows when they will beging production again. I was one of the lucky ones to pick one up before they stopped making them.
But definatly tell us if it is the conversion for the CYMA or the Mosquito molds converison.

Very nice looking BAR there from where i am standing it does nto look hokey at all. I have started a similar project that invloves a kit BAR gun. Im expecting my end cost to be about $200 for the entire gun. I will be using an AGM M-14 as my base gun and taking an M-14 highcap and installing it into a reall steel BAR mag. I have yet to decide if I wil attempt at making a BAR type mag release or going with two other options I have for the mag stuff.

Or maybe try a springfield conversion. Franz Trust me a Springfield conversion is way more expensive to do than a Garand conversion. I personally would rather see M-14s than more Thompsons, becuase at least it is a rifle and not another SMG. But thats just me.....I mean hell, it makes for a good BAR substitute ;D TommyGunner

yeah we have actually make a small container that you can load form the top that you fill with talc powder so it will go everywhere when we fire, its gonna be awsome.
We are also looking into gettign the Talc to fly otu the back too.

The Mad bull shell will be plced in the tube with the projectile, then when we pull the trigger the gas inside the shell is relased pushing out our projectile.

Alright at this point the Bazooka is operational as long as we have a shell to put into it. But the thing is I do not know what shell I shoudl use. While I am sure size will not be a probelm I wonder if anyone can direct me to a shell that would be perfect for launching a Nerf Rocket, or a foam ball. Bassically what is the most powerfull shell I can buy?

Well I know that the stock is too small and a new one will be built soon, but we found out that the tube is 50inches long, from there we guestamated on everything else, from pictures we could find. I personally think the tube looks too small also but eh...as far as Im concerned we have a bazooka that will soon work and for the prototype that is good enough for me. And from looking at your picture you posted ours actually looks the came length.
Also the sights I made are a bit big, but when your working with styreen to scratch build them its kinda hard when you dont have a pattern to work with. Oh and we will be making a new trigger guard as the one we build is mis shapen.
The next version we build will be the M1 with an electronic fireing system that will load form the back like the reall one does. Plus the M1 is easier to build as it does not have the wire wrapped aroudn the tubeand it has a box that holds all the electrical stuff in it.

and I just might if I get the chance there Jeff...just kidding I wouldnt do that Well if people want to buy some they can be made available in kits, where everything will be provided for you, you simply have to do the final assembly and finishing yourself...this way we can keep the product cost down. the Major components and things people will have a hard time doing themsels like the Welding will be done for them already. Things like painting and wrapping the wire around the tube will be left to the buyer to do, those are the time consuming parts that we dont want to do and can help lower overall cost. Also I am not too sure if the Mad Bull shell idea will work or not, we still need one to do the testing with, it may trun otu its nto powerfull enough, but we shall report our findings when we figure out what works. Also Who knows I might just make a Panserfaust for the Germans to use....for a price of course... ;D TommyGunner

Well here are a few pics of the Bazooka painted, the only thing left to add is the heat shield, which is above the stock. And I have to stain the wood. And here is a pic with all my custome weapons, my M1903 Springfield, my M1928A1 Thompson with 20rnd mag and Drum mag, and finally the M1A1 Bazooka. The only thign i really have left to do is buy a Madbull and I can use it in battle. TommyGunner

Well Red I must say that they are all valid points, but why have a Bazooka? Well becuase we can, becuase we can build one and because we can use it. Sometimes you dont need a rhym or reason sometimes you should just set out to make something becuase you can and then figure out hwo to use it. Hell its better to have one and have nothing to use it against then to realize you need one and not have it.

Yeah it was a joke/ jibe thing
And I dont know what it is though but the dimensions match the specs we used so I dont know, but all I can say is, hell we have a bazooka! and again this one was built simply to be a test bed for different ways of fireing the projectiles.

While the remote is a great idea and actually for the second prototype we will be using an electronic trigger, the trigger design we will be using in the first prototype actually will accomplish the same thing but with no electrical work needed, it is all mechanical and very simple. While I can not go into detail until we have aquired a Mad bull shell to make sure the system works, I can say that the Nerf rnd and the Mad bull is all contained in a PVC tube that is inserted into the Bazooka.

Well the tube is 50 inches long, just like the reall thing and we also thought it looked small too but the measurments match the specs we used so...We shall see when its painted. But at this point since it is a prototype simply getting it to work is our concern and then we will be corecting any wrongs with it.
