    m14 - Ion

    After a TON of freehanding failure I finally sat down and decided to map out what I'm doing



    This allows a decent fit within the parameters of the materials I have handy and with the tools I have handy. Conspicuously lacking are measurements, which I havent bothered to drop on there yet. All electronics/air supply/etc are being run through the hollowed out cavity in the stock (only partially drawn). Hidden also is the mortise where I will be shoving my trigger aparatti

    The real fun part is the spring tension magazine I have planned and how I am going to mount it...Its not evident from the photo but the ion tube is upside down. Hopefully get out in the shop monday and fix this up


    Previous failures :

    Errata :

    Materials:
    -Most of a bone stock ion (70$)
    -SKS Reciever cover (fits just perfect over the guts) -25.99$ from Marstar
    -A single 2x4x8 peice of poplar (yes yes, I know)
    -Autosketch, the one thing I learned in highschool that has proved useful

    Tooling:
    12 inch universal vice
    Drill press
    Mortisizing attatchment for said drill
    1/2 inch flat router bit
    Bandsaw/Tablesaw/Planer


    More on it as it progresses. If folks want the measurements I can start attempting to throw those out. At this point I would eat an entire box of kittens for a nice cnc router table which may be in the cards anyway...I wonder how it would work for aluminum paintball applications
