Anton Wallin at Action Reaction Sports built this very remarkable rifle from an HK 630 for use in competitions. He has taken it the several Polish Light Infantry matches, and I will be using it this year at Viking Brutality. It’s a fantastic example of the gunsmith’s art, and much too good to be sullied with an Elbonian backstory.
Wikinger-Bastelgewehr
Simultaneously the most horrible butchering of an otherwise iconic sporting rifle and exquisitely crafted adaptation of an utter mediocrity in terms of tactical utility.
At the same time I am horrified, I am equally impressed.
Swedish firearms laws have a lot to answer for, in my mind. This is both abomination and masterwork at the same time.
Please understand that the 7.62 variant of this rifle has been one of my unaffordabe grail guns sonce the late 1980s. This video is actually physically painful to watch.
Weren’t these offered to Elbonia as a sanction-avoider following the Guanaco neck leather incident of 1985? They could sure have used them if the Brzezinski agreement with Tierra del Fuego had not prevented all out war.
The problem was that Elbonia actually could not afford such a neat piece of engineering as an sanction-avoider to equip its whole army so only the presidents palace guard was seen equipped with them. Rumors are circulating that it was the for trials-batch with which they were equipped right away instead of actually holding trials.
Not just the aesthetics/ergonomics but the whole backdrop reminds me of the civvy legal AR-180-esque semi-auto rifles in Canada. As for the rifle, if H&K made it this way from scratch, preferably with captive takedown pins instead of that hex bolt for easier field stripping etc, it would have possibly been better than the G3.
That Australian version of the Sterling, the F1 that they did like the “Owen” For Elbonia Lerman whoring, Air master General of force vepplin drone force Z. Would probably commision, because he “Being ace, and a recipient of the Elbonian Grand Cross with Quarz and Maple leaves, accordingly.” remembered a long forgotten weapon made long ago in a foreign land called the Pg43 which was based on a Brewis gun from even earlier…
As you would, if you had been awarded such a prestious award. That, but in 5.56 using AR parts; 16″ barrel, mags, bolt & its main spring/buffer. Long recoil, this has a side mag, but the F1’s stock. Because AR parts are numerous as is 5.56mm, and cheaper thus, and tooling for the F1 could probably be found in the outback, along with drawings etc… In an abandoned hut. Modifiy a standard AR bolt via welding the firing pin to the rear of the bolt carrier; which sees ze pin pop forward when the carrier is forward, and thus the bolt is locked. Extend the Sterlings barrel shroud to fit said barrel and incorporate a muzzle booster MG42 type barrel socket it. The gun is as the above, in that from the muzzle to the butt plate the buffer spring rests against is a single unit. The F1 stock however, conceals a seperate spring, quite… And the aforesaid single unit slots into a housing that is covered by said stock. Indeed. “I actually woke up thinking of this, apart from the Lerman Whoring bit.”
This housing! He he… Contains a further spring, it does aye. This spring is compressed by the entire said gun via the booster “The gun being locked, at this point.” Following me? Aye. Ok. The gas bit on the AR carrier (You know, that bit.) is modified so it’s top is a circular stud – Because there is no gas, long recoil eh (See what I mean?) AYE. Now! The stock contains a housing, within said housing, is a rotating housing, yes…
This housing operates sort of like the Stg45’s dust cover, it does. In that it rotates (At this point I want you to think bayonet lug, bayonet lug off a Brown Bess.) The stud “The modified gas port thing on the AR, which engages the carrier.” This stud now engages the rotating housing, and is engaged, engaged aye like a bayonet – Locked, if you will. The spring in the butt is fully compressed, and the GUN must move forward… This forward movement causes the stud because it is engaged to snag pulling it back as it goes forward tee hee! This pulls the normal carrier back, rotating the bolt, and unlocking the bolt!
2 Hrs that took since I woke up “Worked a night shift.”
I know what I mean. Right the only thing left, is how to attach the housing to the gun, per se. So it doesn’t drop out when you point the gun down.
Just let me read that back, I have got it.
Well it’s not the only thing, but with have got to the point… At least, the long recoil point, at this point the bolt unlocks goes against the usual buffer/spring etc, does it’s thing. Annyway, aye attaching the two. Next bit, will have a think about that. In essence it is long recoil crossed with bump fire.
Overall idea, how do we make a 5.56mm Sten because there is a War and it is not an unbelivable notion to think of firing 5.56mm thus, I mean the Ak tried it in 7.62x39mmm This would be softer shooting than that.
Went with the side mag, cheap/good optics these days, think Elbonia could produce them. And it would be worth it, blind cnut recruits can’t hit a barn door at the best of times. Consription! Need optics.
The recoil booster, I accept the above is somewhat confusing; is really to do what? Increase recoil, but in this, it is really in relation to the bump fire part. It isn’t long recoil per se. We just have to move the “gun” back, as per bump fire, then basically it operates as an AR. The Stg45 rotating housing, rotates so it does per shot. Have to attach the two, nora, said I wasn’t going to drink today.
Might have to be slightly sprung loaded… The Stg45 bayonet lug dust cover, think it would catch though, and pull the carrier back… Problems, still 2hrs not that bad – Came up with numerous other options, and that was the best. Ha.
And thats another thing about conscription, apart from not being able to hit owt; they will be more likely to get shot. Side mags, top mags, keep them lower. Tell them to DUCK at all times, etc, then fire.
