Put me down for Five this year, Frank Joe Emily Chet Rich (new guy)

Yep. Lots of them. I have a screw-together design that I have printed a pile of… in 37mm. The same design should work fine for 40mm, slightly scaled up.

The plastic receiver is 37mm. It is a good inexpensive way to play without risking the 40mm. I’ve put somewhere around 300 rounds through the thing so far, goofing around and working up loads. I’m using 8 grains of trail boss in a high/low shell right now. There is quite a resurgence of...

Yep. It was the original NT-79 design, for those interested. After that I switched to the reinforced version, using PLA+. I also have a couple on standby made of carbon-fiber nylon. Either way, sitting there going “WTF!?!” while pieces landed around me was quite the experience.

The receiver was a 3D printed one. The burst disk… didn’t. Instead the blank was forced out the back of the shell. I can provide gory details, but the short version is things shattered. No injury, and I printed another receiver, and was back up and running a few hours later.

Hmmm, interesting. I’m not sure my original blanks would work, they have a heavy roll crimp that likely would get in the way. Watch out for DIY burst disks. My initial attempt cost me a receiver…

Coffee creamer is on my “to try” list. I have a few ideas in the works, but I am waiting on parts for the printer…

Dude…. Funny you mention that, I was just thinking I need to find some old Shotgun News ads. Back when the guy drew cartoons for the hanabee keep ads, I bought a print from the artist, framed it up and hung it on my son’s wall. He was asking me about it the other day…

One the holiday hangover clears, I’ll be in touch. I really want to try one of these mag wells out.

Good luck… I can’t even find where to buy the adapters, much less print my own. I tried making the mags work in my reising, I just do not see how it would work…

Exactly my problem. I would happily use the takedown spanner holes, but there tends to be a gun in the way. When I remove my can, the adapter stays in the gun… stuck.

The biggest downside I have run into is the thing tends to get stuck on my Stemple. No wrench flats or pin-wrench holes to take the adapter off the gun.

I’ve been down this path. I made a piece that fit into the back of the tube so you could use the original firing system to launch the rocket. Pretty cool toy.

No, I’m not going to make it to the Michigan match, but I may know you from the Ohio subgun match. My brother and I were eyeballing the magazines, looking to brew up our own conversion… and it appeared to us that it would not work. The feed angle is all wrong. It it only a plastic sleeve...

Welcome to the Reising game…

I did a few round with some stuff called “ninja smoke”. It was a bit of work, but looked really cool when the smoke mix went off. I should do another batch…

I’m trying not to hijack this thread, so I start d a new one. The uzi conversion ran into some trouble, and would not feed. I’m trying to figure out what I am missing.

I tried my hand at converting my Reising to take uzi mags… what am I missing? The feed angle is all wrong and it looks like the receiver needs opened up for the mag to fit. Does anyone around here have a working conversion so I can copy your homework?

I think you can use a standard uzi grip. I’m not sure about the grip fitting into a magwell. That seems too tight to me. I’m curious how he managed it.

Yep. I did for a while. I used chalk line chalk, tumbled in a rock tumbler to get it finer. Worked decent.
