That is amazing. Apparently he used a V2 gearbox, which means messing with motor angles and other stuff WAY above the capabilities of the average DIYer.

THAT looks like a good fit, and cheap enough. Maybe one could use that gearbox and the mags and feed from a springer carbine and start modding. I wonder how they hooked up the bolt to the piston assembly for the blow-back effect.
Cheers

The intial video is indeed impressive and really looks commercial. In viewing it closely it does not appear to be magazine fed but rather through the long black tube routed along the base. The battery also appears to mount in the neck and upper butt stock. Feeding is always the main obstacle for customs and for the carbine its small small demensions. The blow back effect is cool. I wonder how it performs with regard to FPS? As a carbine it doesnt have to be exceptionally hard hitting but certainly over 300 FPS would be my hope.
Magazine feeding isn't absolutely vital in my book but is high on the list of nice to haves. Would really love to see something like this available for retail. Obviously would love to see it with the proper WW2 site, no bayonet lug, and two rather than four handguard vent holes but for an AEG Carbine I'd happily live with all the nit picky stuff.

I have been working on an AEG M1 Carbine for years and years now, but as I understand, without modding someting major, such as stock shape, where bbs feed, etc, there is curently no way to have an M1 that shoots better than an AEP, and still loads from a magazine, all being scale. I have 1:1 M1 carbine prints I scaled up, and I've tried to align various gearboxes and such to no avail... However, I have been working on a custom gearbox for quite some time, and if, if anything gets done, I will post it here. However, dont expect anyting.
Dont give up trying though, eventually it can happen, eventually, as we have all seen from past projects and attempts

I like your RPD icon. I made several homebuilders including a shortened SOG version using AK hardware. It appears you did the same. Like you an AEG carbine has eluded and frustrated me for years. Just very little space to work with.

Just very little space to work with. Thanks, But yeah, If everything goes to plan, maybe I could get a custom gearbox running but who knows? I've given up on my M1 project long ago and moved on to other stuff. If somehow I manage to align everything, then I will post pictures, but take that with a grain of salt

a good friend of mine took one of 2nd Bat´s all time favourite loaner gun and manage to squeeze it on a DENIX M1 (Para) I managed to grab for 10 bucks... the result came up pretty good. I´s love to share the pics with you guys as soon as I manage to discover how to upload the images...

I'd love to find a cheap Denix para carbine to marry up with one of my springers! The day will come when someone offers a decent AEG carbine and when they do I will be first in line to get one. With the pistol grip the para version seems the most likely version to be offered but who knows?
