There’s nothing about heat treatment in the current documentation. Just drilling and ecm the rifling/chamber.
It should. Brownells 22 liners are about 8mm OD. That said, there’s a beta over at BLC that uses a drilled bolt for a barrel.
If I were turning it myself, I’d leave a little more wiggle room. 1mm wall thickness feels a little sketchy to me.

2·2 months agoNeed an SOT FFL (Special Occupational taxpayer) to build it. It’s a machine gun. It would be an interesting challenge to make something similar with an frt. The trigger would somehow need to turn the crank.

2·3 months agoI’ve also designed a mac11 recoil reset trigger. I haven’t had a chance to test it yet, but I think it’ll work.
Mine is a drop-in trigger replacement.

1·3 months agoHonestly, I’d aim for making one of the larger “cell phone” guns.
The problems with the life card are numerous, but mostly, it’s too small, too slow to open and aim, and nearly impossible to aim.

1·5 months agoSo, from my experience with the NaG (I’ve built 3, 2 have exploded)…
Issues with loading/firing/extracting are usually down to the chamber geometry. You need to sand or file a slight cone into the chamber (for extraction) and a “feed ramp” into the top and bottom of the breech end of the chamber (for feeding).
I used rifled barrel liner for all my builds. The scuttlebutt is that a smooth 6mm ID 8mm OD stainless pipe will work better, because it produces less back pressure.
The best way to taper the chamber seems to be chucking the barrel into a drill and wrapping a piece of sand paper over a small rod, held at an angle, while the barrel spins.
I have a video on my odd sea firing the NaG https://odysee.com/@FieldExpedient:6/NaG01:e
It shouldn’t be too hard, honestly.
