Self-made project: BARRETT M82

the metal plate

the upper and down receiver is made from a 2 mm thick metal plate.

Very cool. Couple questions:

Metal type?

How much $ are you putting into this project?

Suggestion: Install a system similar to Escort or DaytonaGun and have some heavy recoil on it. You've got loads of room for the bolt and recoil weight to slide back and forth so it should be relatively easy.

Put a P* FE inside like me and Wolf are doing

Or.... Make the Kuba T1000 engine since you have the tools (I guess) that way you'll save some money!!

Looks awesome

I made today a start with the Stock.

measuring and cutting

Welding and checking and a satisfied result

a little progress.

Progress;
I have emailed Wolfgeorge about a number of possibilities concerning gearbox models that can be put in the Barrett.
Conclusion: If we build the Barrett on the cheapest way than we doing prejudice of the weapon and it would be able to become distorting.
When we build it the most beautiful way then it is probably to expensive.
Therefore, we decided to build 2 versions where the cheapest one should remain the most expensive 100 euro version so that various possibilities can be exploited.
So making a Barrett 2X and thinking about the costs let me thinking and let me scratching behind the ears.
But for anyone who want to build a Barrett like this, there is a possibility of building his own preferred version and can choice and trade-off decisions for themselves.

You'll have twice the cost if you build 2 of them....
IMHO make one and put in what you want.

Wolf,

my estimate cost of the material are approximately 50 euros. put a double eagle M4 in it,the cost are c.a. 100 euros. whats left is the other Barrett, and in the other Barrett can be used for a gearbox of any choice when we got more information from the others (all of you).

And the better version must still be purchased loose rails, hand grip etc. etc. so that will be more expensive (c.a. 200-250 euros)

So maybe after the making off the cheap version i can sell it and buy a good gearbox and other materials

Next:
Making the Gearbox house for the Barrett.
Does anyone of you have a picture from inside the gearbox-house (M16/M4)

After cutting the metal plate we got a body with exact the size of a M4/m16 trigger-group house.

to compare and to form an image

and here a image under the lower receiver
