Star Mk46 Project

BORDENSNIPER · December 22nd, 2008, 04:10

Cheeseman and I are yet at another project, this will be LONG so stay tuned.

This is a project to resurrect an MK46 from alright to Amazing.

So bought this gun at good price of $600 of which $100 were given back for fixing the issues this gun had:
- no mag
- terrible wiring
- terribe shimming
- cracked stock link
- broken feed tray tab

Bought replacments parts:
- metal BNIB (A&K) feed tray (shipping)
- new wiring (done)
- new gears (shipping)
- sorbo pad (done)
-Madbull m120 (done)
- tamiya small connectors (shipping)

FIRST: Replacing the Wiring

Before:

After:

SECOND: Motor connection

Motor connection

NEW STEP Recieved the A&K feedtray, and as DarkAngel suggested it would fit it DIDNT., so pissed off, Cheese and I decided wtf we already have a project underway, might as well mill the thing to fit, so we did, and came out amazingly solid. here are the pics.

internal feed tray comparison

external comparison

Back slip in tab comparison reveals the problem of not fitting into the STAR body.

side comparison, STAR is thin, A&K is thick

Milling so it maches the STAR feed tray slip in tabs.

Filing the buttons since they were too long and wouldnt fir into the body

putting the feedtray together

Fits perfect

THIRD: Modify new Torque up gears swapped in, oiled up, hard hop up rubber and m120, bb modify piston head, and shimmed.

gear box put in the main body, all thats left is to assemble it and put in a large connector on it.

MK46 COMPLETE!!!!!!!!!! works like a charm....
- ordering mag from UN company.

Pictures came out better than I expected. It took a while to get things done so far, but we're at it one step at a time and we'll keep you folks updated as we go further on this project.

Very nice, but i'm very worried about the metal work on the feed tray. Won't it break?

ex · December 24th, 2008, 07:27

Interesting...What kind of wire did you use? Might just be the pics but is that "speaker wire"?

BORDENSNIPER · December 24th, 2008, 16:20

about the metal, it wont break it is extremly strong and if handled properly shouldnt have any problems at all.

the wire is from TheSource its 16awg, I use it in every gun I own and works miracles.

stay tuned, for the most interesting parts:
- Custom highcap box mag with possible electric feeding mechanism or dual finger wheel attachement, well see how it goes
- new hopup rubber instalment, shimming, new gearset and mechbox assembly and installment into the gun.

Finally!! we're almost done, just need to order the box magazine and the beast will be unleashed.

BORDENSNIPER · January 6th, 2009, 01:53

Keep tracking this!

MK46 STAR mag ordered from UN Company 4 days ago, but they are not answering anything and no emails other than a 4 day old confirmation has been sent...were kinda worried since we though UNCompany is punctual...guess not..no word from them yet no item but they did take the money....

BORDENSNIPER · January 11th, 2009, 21:56

Its Finally Finished!

The box mag came from UN company along with 2 AK side rails for about $200 total.

heres the beauty finally finished....recieved in terrible state and remade into a great machine.

400fps+

Cheeseman · January 11th, 2009, 22:18

Nice, you put the pictures up.
