Where did you find the spring Jim? Did Mcmaster Carr pull through on that?

No, Mcmaster Carr didn't want to ship to me. I got it from a gutted M249 box mag.

Thanks! Some updates: Changed my mind about the hop up. I've decided to used an unaltered AK hop chamber instead of the 45 degree feeding one that i made. This way, i can insert the feed tube through the bottom, which is better cosmetically (i would have to cut a window out of the side of the receiver for the 45 degree hop).   I've also secured the internals into the receiver. The gearbox is a tight fit in the grip stick and is anchored to the receiver via a screw, acting as a pin. This same screw also helps to secure the plastic grips to the frame. I've also lined the steel gripstick with electrical tape and i've wraped the motor contact points with electrical tape as well. I don't want to electricute myself.   The inner barrel (madbull 650mm) is secured within the outer barrel via electric tape spacers. The inner barrel is a snug fit inside the booster cone, which is held in place by a set screw. A spring pushes the hop up and innerbarrel securely against the gearbox.  Test fired it today: It's ALIIIIVE! Drum fed well enough, sound activation and switch activation worked well. No jams or misfeeds as of first testing. It's LOUD too.    Still waiting for: Real steel front and rear iron sights Real steel feed tray (to mount the drum mag) Real steel bipod other cosmetic parts... |

Sounds like a scene from a classic Universal Studios monster movie: "it's ALLLIIIVE!!!" followed by evil mad scientist laughter. Great work!
