Faster VM!

This page is not mine but this Mod.was done so good by
Spider (http://crash.ihug.co.nz/~spides/)
site is gone now
I had to share his work

Ok, it doesn't look like much, but it sure can pump out
those rounds!
Ok, lets see the first thing I did. That was to replace
the old upper bolt with a venturi bolt. This improved the efficiency of the
CO2 use. It also reduced ball breakage a little.

You may notice that the lower bolt has a rather large hole
in the side of it. These were drilled all the way through and took quite a
bit of the mass out of the lower bolt. Obviously once I drilled the holes it
looked better with the holes filed out. It also takes more mass away.

The next step was to carefully drill down from the top of
the bolt. I made sure NOT to go right through the bolt! Stop once you get
through to the other hole you drilled or the bolt will be useless

Once the bolt is like this (mine was now 27% lighter than
when I started) it will fire at a much higher rate. I wanted more than this
so I went looking for a way that would shorten the distance the trigger
needed to be pulled before the bolt was released. I found it!

I made a small wedge and attached it to the lip that the
trigger sear rests on.


The wedge is held in place with a small bolt that screws
into a thread tapped into the wedge. The height of the wedge is low enough
to allow the sear to still catch on the lip of the bolt, but reduces the
distance required to disengage the bolt itself.

The last picture shows the extra hole required to hold the
wedge in place.
Since the whole assembly moves constantly and sharply, it
is a good idea to use something to stop the screw, that holds the wedge in
place, from coming undone. |
