Jungle carbine flash hider dimension quesiton

[Peter Laidler]

Talking of which, several years ago I saw the most fantastically modelled submarine 3" deck gun, about 12" long and....., well, words fail me. IT even had a working recoil and recuperation system. To cap it all off, it was mounted on a scaled down section of submarine decking. Quite staggering....

Yes....., these modellers could certainly help with your flash eliminator. I'm not even sure that you'd need weld either because the Sterling SMG bayonet standard was simply brazed in place and as I seem to recollect, the round section piece that the pommell slides and locks onto is a bog standard off the shelf (3/8"?) round bar section with a chamfer along one side and a radial recess at the rear!

My friend made a 25 pounder scale model and I remember him drilling the zillions of holes in which he inserted and soft soldered pin heads which replicated the zillions of rivets in the trail and shield. The sticking block was the scale tyres to suit the scale of the gun/trail. Make sure that you source the tyres before you embark on the project!

Peter that's a good point regarding the tyres, there is a good range for the modeller, want something that would give the correct scale to .45 case, had thought of a 12 gauge also.

Regarding rivets its all part of the detail, and looking at this scratch built Bren carrier last night the detail speaks for itself....
