deerslayer Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Started with a group industries gun full auto. The gun retains fast and slow setting. Pair of videos to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atllaw Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Very cool. Would be interested in a video showing the conversion itself. Was that an authentic Monitor kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deerslayer Posted September 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 The conversion was all made by me, except the compensator. I shortened the barrel, and moved the gas block back (all lathe work). The gas tube shortened. New piston made. The trigger frame had a metal handgrip welded into place to attach the wood. And of course an appropriate stock set. On other guns I have added the action cover from an FND BAR, but not this one. Compensator is a reproduction but I'm not sure the source. I have made a copy of a comp myself but not for this gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim c 351 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Dan,The lack of climb is most impressive.Is the comp that good or do you have the strength of a gorilla??Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer Posted September 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 A little of both perhaps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryKeim Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 That is impressive control. I can’t load more than 4 rounds before I’m shooting into the ceiling of the range. Need to get outside someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer Posted September 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Notice the lean forward right before shooting... That's part of keeping control of full auto guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryKeim Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) I tried. I am 6ft-1in/150. I nearly (really) fall over. I have been considering that I need a bi-pod for FA, if such a thing exists for a m1918. Obviously I would not have been a very good BAR Man.

deerslayer Posted September 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 When we do rentals we tether the front on the gun to the table. That keeps muzzles from rising too high. You can step sightly forward or back to get the right tension to put the sights on target. Might be an idea for you to experiment with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryKeim Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 When I place it on the table it is fine. It is just a problem trying to do it standing, which is what I want to do... to be a real man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPinFL Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Hi Dan:Very nice.Have gotten my SA R75 running. Don't like the bipod, its very flimsy and prone to collapsing during firing, so went back to regular forearm.I welded the pistol grip to the lower and made walnut grip panels, but they are the wrong contour. Unfortunately I copied the pistol grip from a polish lower cause I didn't know any better. Anyone out there who can make proper grip panels? Not savvy enough to post pics, but could emal them.Keep up the good work. BP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer Posted September 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 I could send you a tracing of a monitor grip... Cut yours off and start over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPinFL Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 No way Jose'Mine works great and was a lot of work!I have a genuine monitor grip on my FA Marlin Rockwell R75 clone.Thanks anywayBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer Posted October 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 I may have misunderstood.. Do you just want new wood panels made for your polish grip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPinFL Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Yes Sir, Thats what I was asking, but have decided I like the ones I made, cause they have "character" and I made them myself from some walnut knife handles I got from my uncle. Sorry I wasn't more clear.What I really am looking for is someone to replace the barrel on another BAR with a finned one I have.. Do you do that kind of work?Am really busy with work, fishing and hunting, so only get online every couple of days.I do appreciate your replys.Regards,BP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer Posted October 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 I can replace the barrel but be warned.. Probably well over a hundred dollars shipping to send back and forth depending on boxes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
