Hello all. I've had this ZB26 for years and started this conversion a long time ago but it fell by the wayside until last week. I've made a lot of progress very quickly and forgot to take more pictures but this is how far I've got.

It has an original bipod (that I got on the cheap as one of the legs is slightly bent), also an original drum sight and carry handle. The barrel release lever is scratch built from aluminium and epoxy as I lost the ZB26 release lever :slap:

Still some work to do on the internals and I need to sort some magazines but it's really shaping up now.

Regards,

Ralph

Looks great.
How did you do the barrel? Some sort of filler/putty?

I've been thinking of doing one of these myself, if I can make the barrel and magazines look right then I can live with the rest, any hints and tips for the barrel and mag conversion?
