More progress on the 50. Got the grips installed, charging handle installed, and a fresh coat of paint. Next step is to make a reproduction barrel. Right now I have a real barrel which probably weighs 40 pounds. It makes me nervous driving around with that heavy barrel supported by 3D printing...

@HoveringHMMWV that looks fantastic!

Wow, this actually worked and made it silent? I'm honestly shocked.

The question is, will they update their website for the next guy that orders?

Can you please tell us which vendor gave you 10mm glow plugs so that we can avoid them?

After posting that I was thinking the same thing, thanks for clarifying.

Dont forget about the glow plugs, not sure what they draw but it something

Good to hear from you Action. Dont be a stranger.

Haha 🤣 Side panels are aluminum, barrel is real, the T&E and pintle are real. Everything else is 3D printed plastic. The side plates are made substantially different than a real gun, so that they cannot be assembled with real M2HB parts and make a functional gun. I'm considering selling these...

Made some grips for the 50

Hmm, what about the 3.5 ton scissor jack, have you had issues with that? Asking because I just bought one.

My paycheck? Lol

True, but it might not matter. The pump is really screaming at 3000+ RPM. Maybe lower RPM would even reduce wear. Even a 20% reduction would make it quieter and probably not have a noticable impact on performance.

What about a larger power steering pump pulley to slow down the RPM's?

So just for the heck of it I added some LubeGard ATF protectant in the power steering reservoir (its Dex III compatible and adds lubricity without affecting viscosity). I've read that others have had good success using it with power steering systems that use ATF. Anyway, it maybe slightly...

If you figure out how to soundproof the pump, let us know.

Point taken, but for context: I've done it twice ever outside of parades. It's a small town and many of the cops know me (I do work for local police and fire companies).

I don't do it often, usually only during parades. But when I do, no one is allowed in the turret/touching the gun, which is not loaded, and I'm complying with all state/local/federal laws.

Decided to mount up the dummy 50 cal (even though its not finished) and went to the beer distributor. Got quite the attention lol. Also took my son to the park for a bike ride. Edit: and made a new avatar!

Yep, I had good success with tractor supply horse stall mats, and kilmat on the dog house
