Looks awesome. What stain did you use for the handguard?
2/3 of red mahogany and 1/3 of cabernet mix

Thank you kindly! Unfortunately I did not have time to develop the load for it. I hope it to be capable of 1 MOA, as the donor barrel was doing 0.25MOA pretty consistently in the Ruger American.
I can't do services as I am not licensed for that, however I may sell some of my projects later on, to fund new ones.
The projects underway that I plan to part with in the near future are (of course N/R):
- Tabuk-inspired LMG DMR in 6mm ARC + new RCBC dies. I am sure people know - the 6mm (Advanced Rifle Cartridge) is basically a "6mm Grendel" for the lack of better comparison. A small low-recoil cartridge designed for the 1000yd military/varmint use by Hornady
- T81 folder in 5.56 NATO (using the T97 barrel). For this one I just can't find AK mags in either 5.56 or 5.45, to make sure it cycles well. I may need to start looking for the VZ 223 mags for that purpose I guess
Ah, gotcha. Wonder if any businesses on here would take on such a project. Between you and Murray, you could create a Warsaw Pact DMR cottage industry for Canada!
I was thinking of Motiuk Mfg - he is a wizard. I guess he could do those conversions commercially, one or two per day![]()
Id like to see that guy make a PSL clone from a Valmet.
So what's your new project?
I saw some of your utube videos. You put a lot of work into it which is not commercially viable. Personally I think people would go for small stuff, like fake AK selector and folding/underfolder stocks, also ways to take the bulkyness out of the LMG, we already see that it is possible.
What happened to your type 81 side mount?

Are the back ends of the receivers different between the SE folder and the LMG? Any reason why someone couldn't put a different folding stock on the SE folder?
They are. LMG has a slant end and the carbine has a right angle end

More Russian now![]()
Does anyone know if the barrel diameter is consistent on the LMG from the muzzle to the gas block? If I wanted to press the cleaning rod retainer and the front sight block back a few inches, would it be possible with a press?
It is consistent. You will just have to mill/drill new grooves for the retaining pins

Good choice - heavy barrel yields to a greater accuracy compared to the carbineNice, LMG it is. I found a triangle stock, folding bracket and a friend with a lathe/milling attachment to make the new trunnion. Can't wait.
