Great ideals, and great work with what you have to do it with. The only thing I see in a lot of your builds. You spend so much time to get the rifle to fit in these chassis' or stocks. And the trigger is always so far from being right. How hard would it be to find a competent welder to make your builds right and complete? If your going this far, don't just half ass it. There is nothing more satisfying than a finish project
.Just my 2 cents of the thousands of pictures you have posted over the years. Bear of Tactical Image Guys. I use to build the SAW M249 stocks for the Ruger 10/22`s. I know what I am talking about here. Not trying to be hard here, just wanting to help someone with an interest and love that I share as well.

thanks. its still not done yet until i fabricate my own trigger extension. i finished painting the receiver and barrel shroud black so its cleaned up.
yea the trigger sitting high has always been a problem for me. the M249 SAW doesnt have that problem with the 10/22 because it magically lines up and you dont have to touch the 10/22 trigger at all.
the .22LR Barrett M82 using a 10/22 also magically lines up with the M82 barrel shroud.
it just really depends on the chassis im using since i only have Marlin 60, 795 and Ruger 10/22 to work with.
a 10/22 may fit in this however id have to cut off the MG34 trigger guard which would throw off the original look. also the MG34 receiver would be thin.
this thing feels like it weighs close to 30lbs. so having a thin receiver can crack the cast because its so front heavy
it wouldnt make sense for me to pay a welder ($40/hour) to spend hours trying to modify the receiver just to align the trigger. if the trigger was down more, then Marlin 795 barrel wouldnt line up with the MG34 barrel shroud at all.
its just easier to just fabricate something with Kydex or even use other triggers and make an extension.
also the airsoft are made of pot metal. not sure if welding will work with it.
im always looking for new ideas on doing extended triggers. now that i have my own mini mill, it makes it easier for me to fabricate custom things.
i just need to learn more of the functional mechanics like a trigger group where something that pivots off a roll spring, then hits a tension spring, and then hits something else.
