Here I have heat blued the steel parts,and stained and oiled the stock to match an original k98 stock I have.Just need to put it together.
so next day and its in one piece 98% complete bar the blue tack on the sight and pozi-drive screw at the reciever rear
Iron sights are capable of hitting a 5 inch circle at 25m 50% of the time,and it chronos around 340-50 fps,overall weight 3.8kg.,build cost about £90 and a ton of sweat and desighn thought meltdown sessions,that continued throughout the job when design features were clearly not going to work.
Still some tidying up to do,so nearly there 
Fantastic work
That looks great, have you worked out how much on cost yet?
I made it for a guy who I met at a couple of games ,I new he would appreciate the work, we agreed a price just after I cut out the stock blanks, but Its just a hobby project if I did it for my day job this would cost thousands.
Right now I would rather be waterboarded be the CIA than start another gun project. But at least I got to the end of the project and it seems to be a skirmishable weapon so far.When ever I see a custom gun made people always go about it in a different way, totally, luckily I am used to sheet metal forming and billet machining of parts, but a wider range of machine tools would make it much easier if I had them.
Gun parts are very difficult to make as a one off, by hand ,especially when you are copying a part made with jigs and tooling in a mass production line.
I have seen people be very critical of custom guns supplied in WW2 airsoft, but if you are doing it as commercial venture there is a limit to what you can achieve in a limited time frame.
If any one wants to start a custom gun project, choose a gearbox, hop unit and Magazine first and build out from there, you will most likely have to re-proportion some dimensions, so it will most likely not be dimensionally perfect, seeing the real gun you are copying is always a big problem also.so getting dimensions to work from is sometimes guesswork.
