Just forged steel "hooks" for my FWB to get it to the wall under the 97k, have to say im pretty pleased with the result

First time I've seen the whole thing, looking good! How is she shooting with the new piston?

Nicely! Punching holes to 3mm bullhide and denting the 50cal ammobox behind it easily! Great gun for the price

Great to hear

Its funny when you shoot it, then pick up the 97k. Its like "OH MY SH*T this thing is awesome!" and then i find myself hugging the 97k

HW97 is a fantastic bit of kit. Love the laminate stock. 8)

Bit of guestimate based on limited dimensions from jake and pics I found online but it seems to have worked

Here's a commercially available item:

Here's what I whipped up:

Did someone notice the charging handle grip Lab machined for me? I think it looks awesome with the blue laminate stock

Piston seal then...gotcha.

Thought about playing around with o-ringed piston seals?

Have been tossing it about for a while now...it's "on the pile" of things to do.

Its 4.10 AM here in Finland, and i'm working SAC contest in my buddys hams station. Haven´t had a single station in 5 hours and i'm starting to run out of energy drinks

Damn, i have used to control my radio using my 3 (soon 4) screens and a foot pedal with a HiFi class headphone/mic, all i got here is paper log and a crude and shitty mic with a mono audio. OH, and the antenna were using is just a 40m piece of silver coated copper wire.

I did a quick Google search (as procrastination is always welcome when writing an essay on a topic you don't care about) but I'm still not quite sure what the goal is.

So, what's the point and what makes it fun?

You've just got to make as many contacts in a certain time as possible. It's just fun, because of reasons.

Interesting, never seen it done before! Synthetic seals seem to work well enough though...

JSR, if you want to test o-ringed seal the FWB is open for raping, though the white seal you made might destroy when trying to remove it
