Mauser V9000 trench rifle

While doing research on the 1917 trench carbine I came across a rifle that I have never seen or even heard of. The V9000. There is a video on YouTube posted by LAI Publications. I just fell for this cute carbine.

It also dissembles and the stock comes off.

There was a print of it […]

1917 trench carbine 3D prints

With the new Bambu P2S printer here I decided to start printing out some of the components of the 1917 trench carbine to verify the design and measurements.

The Mauser 1917 Trench Carbine

I happen to like the Mauser broom handle pistol. I know it is not well balanced or comfortable to shoot, but it is an iconic and historical weapon. I have a small collection and I am always looking to add to it.

So since last December I have been working on a couple of accessories for it. Well it happen that on […]

More on the VG1-5

You have now seen the first series of spot welds necessary to put the strengthening plats in and putting then together. With this accomplished it is time to do the first machining op on the receiver. This operation cuts out the trigger opening and also the holes necessary to weld in the front barrel support. […]

Weekend update and the fun of machining

Nothing really exciting to report. I spent the weekend machining large pieces of metal into smaller pieces. We have shipped the test MP-44 trunnions to Pete and while we are waiting for his report back we are filling our time working on making stamping dies. In this case all the pieces are sized and we […]
