Frankly, I would leave the drum as it is. The German 75 round drum angled downward instead of upwards unlike the AK drum, but it won't seem any more out of place than anything else on your gun. For a 'stand-off' scale project, it is outstanding. Good job on this one! German 75 round saddle drum:

What is this mag for? Does it fit the AK body? And where did you get it?

OK, sweet!
Also, what did you make the feed cover out of?
Thanks!

This is really cool. Very realistic. Are you planning on making more and selling them. I am planning on doing a B.A.R conversion from an m16.

Well the M16 is cheaper and I think I could make it work.

...odds are that if you're not gonna be able to shell out the dough for an m14 gearbox (agm/utg m14's are only about 100 bucks for the whole set) then you're going to run out of funds for a BAR very quickly. I also don't see how an m16 (what brand I do not know) will work for a BAR conversion...unless you're shmitty or some other gun-guru.
...Mabye this should be moved to a new thread, an m16/BAR is not an ak47/mg34.

slick63, Great work man !!
How ridged is the gun with the super long barrel and bipod? Did you retain the stock barrel trunion setup or reinforce it?

Ed, that's a good point/question, I was wondering the same thing. I know my "kinda-sorta MG13" isn't quite as rigid as I'd like, and have been wondering how best to reinforce the barrel-to-receiver juncture on these sorts of conversions to stiffen them up. Any thoughts?

Its quite rigid oddly enough, I did think it would all break in half once I`d done it. The trunnion is all there although it is made of 2 plastic halves on the UTG, I seem to remember the TM was metal?? The original outer barrel stayed in place and I drilled out some tube to slide over it to make it longer. It was a tight fit over the original outer barrel so there isn`t any floppiness. The barrel jacket was just the right diameter to slide tightly over the trunnion luckily enough, and is plugged at the end with a 1/2 inch thick circular piece of wood which also holds the outer barrel (all held in place with araldite)

Ahh, I see, the new jacket over the original outer barrel. I thought the jacket was the only piece connected to a very short trunion.

Great work! I was wondering if you could post some measurements of what pipe you used. Did you use a predrilled pipe of did you do that? Are you using the stock ak-47 barrel or are you using a longer one?

The inner barrel is a standard AK. The outer was a piece of ali tube from a Dyson vacuum cleaner, about an inch in diameter, I made two lines of drill holes at 90 degrees to each other with a 15mm drill bit.

Hey, thanks! I've got a UTG AK-47 which had the buttstock break off. I was about to dump it. Now you've given me a much better idea of what to do with it. Great work!

That looks tight. Love the stock and also the fact that its an MG34 and not MG42 is even greater. fur der vasterland
