6/29-I raced to get as much done on the DShk for the Weekend of Heroes show and I did finish the feed mechanism but there was still plenty yet to be finished. I brought it to the show anyway because I thought it might be interesting to see it before its completed and I did not feel like rushing through the final details. Recently I made wood grips for the weapon and worked on the trigger group.
6/4-DShKM Muzzle brake and reciever.

6/3- Aligning the charging handle assembly to the mount.
6/3- More small parts including the front and rear sights.
5/31- Still working on this project, hoping to have it finished by Weekend of Heroes. Just four days left! Here is the barrel with the gas tube assembly.
5/13- I have only been able to work on this project a little of late but I am still working on it! This might look kind of odd but what I am doing is making a perfectly round piece out of styrene sheet by using coins as a sandwich to get the right shape. Oreos anyone?
5/3-More small parts!
5/2-Test fitting the parts of the DShKM mount. So far so good!
5/1-Can you identify this part?
4/30-Cutting out the curved portion on the receiver where the barrel connects.
4/28-Added the accessory rail to the mount and worked on some of smaller pieces. the muzzle brake is painted because it looks difficult to paint after its completely assembled.
4/27-Fabricated a new barrel, this time from lighter fiber washers. The brass was just bringing too much weight to the front and I was not completely happy with the alignment. The feed tray and cover have both been started and the hole for the barrel has been drilled out. In this photo you can see the bolt better underneath the receiver.
4/25- the base of the DShKM receiver, about 13 different pieces including a bolt carrier on a rail underneath:
4/24- Making the barrel rings for the DShKM:
The ribbed barrel constructed with brass washers:
4/23- The ridge added to the mount walls which have been bored out to swivel for elevation. the circular cut was a portion that took a while to plan and was successful after about the third try:
4/22- Shapes that will be turned into the reciever:
4/21- The Machine gun build step one, the ammo can:

4/19- What is this latest project? Can you guess what it is? I am making it for the one sixth weapons contest at the OSW!
