Not the usual content for my blog, but it is actually very slightly machining related! I picked up a KWC Desert Eagle recently (airsoft for the uninitiated), and to my slight surprise, the barrel is threaded on the ID, M14x1. So, I picked up a cheap (CAD$35) suppressor today (which is threaded M18x1), and built an M18x1 to M14x1 adapter for it on the mini lathe. You can see the aluminum bit sticking out of the suppressor in the first image. Yes, a desert eagle is already a ridiculous gun, and the 7.5″ long suppressor makes it even moreso, but that’s the whole point! I wanted over the top ridiculousness! I’ve also got a red dot sight on order for it, to make it even MORE ridiculous! :D
