  • DB Alloy Carbine

  • I didn't know I needed to build another DB, but here we are.

    Nicely done.

  • Whoops. Thought I had set it public. Sorted!

  • DEFCAD selling my design

    Jump

  • They were more than happy to get me to sign up so they could transfer ownership of the model and "I also set up your partner account for sponsorship, so you'll earn money for any downloads your project receives. Let me know if you have any other questions!"

    So yeah, looks like they're scraping and reposting to get people to sign up and post there or some shit.

    I should also note, even after they transfer you your own design, there's no way to edit or delete the posting.

  • DB Alloy 5.7

    Jump

  • Yeah, when it first came out, I waited a couple months before it came back in stock. It may show that 3d2a is more popular than it used to be, and companies popping up aimed entirely at that market segment proves it. Ultimately it's still going to be a niche low-volume product, so they'll do it in smaller batches and get back to regular bread and butter production. Happy to see them doing it at all.

  • DB Alloy 5.7

    Jump

  • I haven't seen any others offered in 5.7. The MPA upper is pretty decent, no complaints. You do have to trim a little bit out of the rear section for FCG clearance, but it's not bad at all.

  • Looks tight!

  • DB Alloy 5.7

    Jump

  • It's definitely not .22 soft, but it's not bad at all. Somewhat comparable to a P90/PS90 if you've ever shot one of those. They're both direct blowback. A little snappy just due to the speed and bore height over grip, but not punchy and doesn't hit hard at all.

    I really like the 5.7x28 round in general. I wanted to try it out on the cheap so that was why I built the DB. Liked it there so I picked up an M&P 5.7, loved that, then I went down the P90 rabbit hole and loving it there.

  • Known Issues (new users please read!)

    Jump

  • Yeah it's a bit quirky. I'm more used to running old style forums/BBS type stuff. When I petitioned for c/fosscad ownership on "main" Lemmy(1), I saw your federated post on my old account but not my fosscad account. Took me a minute or three to realize that I had somehow deselected English (or just never selected it?), and either the Lemmy theme I'm using or my spam/cosmetic filters don't show which languages I have selected. Pretty sure I have it unfucked now at any rate.

    1. Original mod inactive for ~3yrs, last post ~1yr old, so by all metrics abandoned.

  • Do it. Even when you've moved on to other projects and don't take it out as much, it looks badass sitting in the safe.

  • Known Issues (new users please read!)

    Jump

  • Might also be worth mentioning that you need both 'Undetermined' -and- 'English' selected in your language preferences, along with any others you may enjoy. Post visibility relies heavily on the language selection.

    Jump

  • PETG for the chassis, and the grip is PLA I think.

    A lot of folks shy away from it, but in some applications it's quite good. With the Alloy having the reinforcement plates on the sides, it mitigates shock stresses and lets the PETG be good at being PETG in the other spots.

  • Thanks! It's a really fun one to take to the range. Very pleased with how it turned out.

    Lack of feet is worrisome

  • My bad. I need to stop looking at shit on my phone and stick with my giant ass desktop monitors.

    Still though, feet?

  • Thing isn't even squirted, it's all about the feet for some of these folks.

  • DB Alloy 5.7

    Jump

  • It's definitely my favorite build to date. I need to re-fill and re-drill the FCG pin holes. I swapped triggers in it so I could try a fresh cut/profile for a different project and wallowed them out again. Fortunately I made a jig for that the first time it happened:

  • I want advice or help

    Jump

  • You're going to need a proper lathe and associated tooling, or get into EDM/Electrical Discharge Machining. Either of those processes is going to require a significant time and learning investment to be proficient enough to make a gun barrel.

    DB Alloy 5.7

    DB Alloy 5.7, MPA upper, SCS for the plates, random obnoxious brake that was in the bin, $25 river store dot, wifes fingernail polish to color code the safe/fire indicator dimples, and motorcycle engine anti-walk.

    File Drop community

    Seemed like having a specific place to post projects might be a good idea:

    https://forum.guncadindex.com/c/filedrop@forum.guncadindex.com

    Figured it would help keep things from getting lost in general conversation. If it's out of place feel free to do whatever with it.

    Will the index be scraping these forums as well, or still just picking them up from Odysee?

    DB Alloy FCG Drill Jig

    A jig to clamp around your DB Alloy so you can re-drill the holes for FCG after filling them. Mine got a bit wallowed out and loose, and instead of printing a whole new lower I made this jig.

    Tested on the 5.7, should fit others?

    Didn't see a place for posting active projects, so I made one. Feel free to rename/remove/whatever if it's out of place.
