    Degtyaryov DA aircraft machine gun

    Had to put three little nubbins on the cock ring, they are for retention in the clamp mount I built for tripod mounting

    Degtyaryov DA aircraft machine gun

    Appreciate the sentiment, but Buffalo would smoke my ass at a build off! He’s built a lot more awsome projects that I don’t think I coulda pulled off, been doing it longer, and is a very skilled one man shop. Buffalo does all the fab work and welding and he’ll even cerakote! Truth be told I’m...

    To do next is machine a new gas block that ties into the oprod guid tube, to be continued…….or not, might not be bothered to finish……..we’ll see

    Degtyaryov DA aircraft machine gun

    Now to the Marvin the Martian front contraption. Actually very cool and made a lot of sense for so long ago, the wind vane would flow with the wind and in essence account for deflection from you being in a moving aircraft, quite ingenious really A bunch of fabrication limits testing and a...

    Degtyaryov DA aircraft machine gun

    Again here is the only thing I had to go off of, the illustration from some old manual (rear sight) Using a mg42 spider sight that I snipped out some of the posts, I went about trying to fab out what is in the illustration

    Ahhh but the best part is coming, or at least that I’m proud of, the sights

    Oh and you mill off the rear sight housing ears and reduce it to this

    Degtyaryov DA aircraft machine gun

    Now if you look at this pic stolen from the far reaches of the internet you see they had a round ring that acts to hold the rear sight tower and clamping surface to the aircraft mount Bingo bango you make a ring to be welded on the outside of the collar part of the original shroud

    Degtyaryov DA aircraft machine gun

    Ok so now the barrel on the da is exposed and not covered by a shroud like the ground gun dp, the op rod still has a tube protecting the op rod so I did was went to town chopping the shit out of the shroud but keeping the guide tube

    Moving forward on this hunk of trash the aircraft drums are shorter but taller so you have to modify how the mag locks in, this means a plate gets welded on to be the forward locking surface

    Degtyaryov DA aircraft machine gun

    There’s was this detent actuated dealy thingy on the spade grip, I assume it was to lock the spade grip on an actual sg43 Yeah threw that in the trash and made a push button safety that locks the butterfly from coming forward

    Another addition I’m making just for my version of this is to cover the trigger with plates, covers to prevent accidental tripping of the trigger

    Degtyaryov DA aircraft machine gun

    Chopped off the two tabs on the back of the dp28 lower housing, also of note here, the lower has a nice bore hole drilled in it all the way to the back of the trigger, assumably for the manufacturing process but it works out great as this will be the channel for the linkage going to the trigger...

    Degtyaryov DA aircraft machine gun

    Reversed the butterfly and made a plate that will become the actuator for the linkage bar coming up

    Degtyaryov DA aircraft machine gun

    First things first, I’m not wood worker and the Mandingo grip on the original is dumb, so this aspect of the build I decided to make my own and, to me, improve the concept and build it with a spade grip. The donor spade grip is a selenoid controlled sg43 spade grip, so same Russian make and...
