Introduction
The following project for a lightweight and highly compact machine gun is quick to manufacture and has a low number of components.
Your minimalist layout incorporates a single receiver piece to house all components, eliminating the use of pins or
screws to keep your trigger grouping. These features result in an elegant and refined design
appearance, contrasting with most weapons of this type.

Upper part: The lack of any external frame handle further amplifies the capability of
concealment, while the large door opening ensures reliable ejection.

distribution to guerrilla groups for use in clandestine operations. An additional rotating front grip is

Construction notes of components
Screw:
Instead of being machined from a single piece of steel, the screw for this project is rolled from steel tubes and stock bar. If the
If the material is available, an ideal two-piece screw can be made from a steel tube with a diameter of 35 mm and a thickness of 5 mm with a
internal screw part of 25 mm. The convenient version presented here, however, is laminated from a steel tube of 35 mm x 1.5 mm
in length, an internal stock piece of 32 mm steel bar and two lengths of steel bar welded on both sides to
capture the wear.
The screw piece starts as a 50 mm length of 32 mm soft steel bar that is marked in its center and drilled.
using a 10 mm drill bit up to 3 mm deep. A second 10 mm drill bit, modified by the removal of its tip, is used.
to level this hole. The hole is then chamfered using a 16 mm drill and sanded. Six holes are then drilled along the
length of the bar using a drill. This will allow for quick material removal using a grinder equipped with a
cutting disc of 1 mm and then refined using a 2 mm grinding disc + and manual files. Finally, the ejection groove is
cut at the bottom using a 1 mm cutting disc until entering 1 mm into the screw face.
Trigger grouping
The trigger and the safety are held in the receiver without any pin, each compressed between the barrel, the barrel collar, and the
receiver wall. This very simple assembly increases the overall compactness and proves to be as reliable and strong as
any other type.
The trigger consists of a single piece cut from 6 mm steel or aluminum sheet, while the safety is constructed using a
corresponding cut of the tube piece of the lock and a block of 6 mm steel sheet archived to match and welded on
Place. A small curve at the top of the sear allows it to rise under the pressure of the spring and rest at the bottom of the barrel.
This allows the front of the latch to catch the front of the screw when pulled back.

coils. The specifications of your spring will depend on the manufacturer, so it is better to modify gradually.
