Yeah no worries. So the files were designed by a very talented graphic design engineer and technical artist. Mr. Jon Watson. Mr. Watson worked with the Degroat firm using parts supplied by them to take measurements and build the digital 3d files. This along with Mr. Watson's talent is why the...

Oops just realized I never showed yall the feeder delinker! So i painted this one in Rustoleum charcoal gray chalk, same as the barrell flash hider to give it that M134D flavor lol Here are a few pics of it closer

I'll now post a few more pics of the "mostly complete" M134 D. Just working on all the wiring and figuring out how I'm going to make an ammo can for it. I have files for the XM 23 can, and I have a real 1500 round ammo can, but no feed chute lid. As even just the lids for those 1500 round cans...

So i got a more accurate file for the L arm so I printed that up and painted it once again with Brownells aerosol cerakote parkerized gray. Finished that off with some aircraft Ti pull pins and hardware.

Alrighty im back, my day job kept me pretty busy the past few weeks but I have some updates for yall. So i have been working on the GCU box for the gun, here are some pics Its all printed in 3 major parts and I used a nice flip cover switch from an auto parts store along with some rubber...

A few more shots for yall to see. You can also see the new "Dillon style" barrel clamp/flash hider in progress. I'm still waiting on my buddy Jon to finish the spade grips and clutch pack, he is an amazing engineer and computer design expert and he built the base files for this replica from...

Now its been a little bit but I have made some progress. So basically I use an old vehicle brake rotor as a base. Its heavy, circular, has an appropriate mechanical look and is not too flashy so it doesn't detract from the gun. I painted it and the custom swivel arm and mk 16 style "L" arm...

Now let's talk about mounts!!! This is what this is all about. So let's kick it off with some work on the yoke. So I made myself stop mid build to take pictures of that things look like before I make them look all nice and real(well as real as I can make it look with my available skills). Here...

Here are a few more shots

Got all the barrels printed and finished, I painted them the same way as the body but also applied a light coat of graphite powder rubbed on with a paper towel to give them a subtle metallic sheen. Printing the yoke mount for the mk 16 mount assembly now, but here are some pictures of the...

Here are a few close ups of the bypass bar and solenoid. As I'm typing this the sixth barrel is printing and will be finished and installed by tomorrow afternoon. After I get it installed I'll snap some pics then we will move on to the Mk16 mount arm and assembly. The mount arm itself will be...

A few more shots with the motor attached. I'll zoom in on it later and show the completed assembly with connector housing as well

Decided to build a little work/display stand for the base gun while I work on it. I knocked it together with a little but of 1/4" black expanded pvc sheet

Got the barrel cluster clamp built up and painted, also finishing up work on the motor and feeder/delinker solenoid bypass bar section as well

Little more work of the feeder/delinker. Got the caps on and done, new loading diagram attached( once again a custom design done by my girlfriend who is a graphic artist. She made them as high quality vinyl stickers which I attach to thin sheet plastic then glue on to the replica). I have...

Now it's starting to look like an M134!

Just for fun let's put the caps on the delinker and pin it on the main body to see how it looks.

As stated before, just like on the real m134, I have heli coiled all the screw points. Since this is all plastic(except for the hardware, bearings, pins and feed chute adapter) this allows the take down and disassembly of the replica to occur without damage to the plastic and adds even more...

Let's take a look at the feeder/delinker. Here are some photos of some of the internals that I have printed, primed, sanded and painted.

Couple of shots with the bolt tracks in place, just test fitting them. Waiting on the lock nuts to arrive before I bolt them on and of course have to print up all the bolts before i attache them for good.
