I think I'm gonna build a water-cooled 10/22.

Zombie thread, all the more need for a real beltfed.

Wish someone would bring these back, Lakeside went out of business and they never worked 100% without lot of tweaking. I would think the design could be simplified pretty easily, there isn't much to it.

P.S. I have the Razorback, its a neat gun but never 100% even on top shelf ammo. Also there are a lot of small easily broken parts. Not sure where I am going to get replacements.

Cool idea.

I've wanted to build a 4 gun SKS contraption for years.

All guns sitting side by side.

Trigger actuating cams would be secured along a main rod with cams at 0-90-180-270.

Trigger rod attached to an electric motor.

Never could figure out if the electric motor and switch turned it into a machine gun or not even though the triggers are tripped one at a time and reset after firing and cycling.

I've never built a wierd custom gun, but I would love to turn a K31 or 1895 Steyr Mannlicher into a semi-auto.
I would also love to make a Gatling gun from either of those guns.

I realize I'm commenting on a 6 year old post, but thought it might still be interesting to NC or other readers. Have you ever heard of one of these?

Sounds like a North Korean imitation of

I did just what you described and built the worlds first truly water cooled ruger 10/22 that resembles a browning 1917 water cooled machine gun. I also built an air cooled version that resembles a browning 1919. I use the bmf activator crank fire accessory trigger device and crank fire them like a Gatling gun. I use the MWG magazine that holds 50 rounds and I also use the 30 round banana mags. I plan to produce these in the future and have designed a belt feed for the ruger 10/22 that I am working on prototyping. Here's a pic and a link to the Florida shooters network where I am a member and hang out and where I posted how I built them and am continuing to fabricate an improved prototype that will allow interchangability between an air cooling shroud and a water jacket using one standardized fake receiver. Now I just gotta get the belt feed completed for it.

Below, how I built them.

An electric motor on a crankfire is a machinegun. Well documented from the ATF.
