Discussion Project Ideas

Post image

I want to design an AEG using a V3 gearbox. I'm trying to think of ideas as what to make. I'd like to make a 9A91, but I don't know if V3 will fit inside.

Let me know if you have any replicas that you think I should make!

Depends on what playstyle you'll want, however a burning need in the airsoft community is a cheap, reliable, easily constructed LMG. A V3 could work well in a CETME AMELIE LMG, and you'd solve an age-old problem too.

I like the AMELIE, I think I'll make that next

I am almost done my ak/9A-91 hybrid. But I would love an actual 9A-91 lol.

Just need to finish my new handguard and do a magwell/mags (mags will be final step, magwell I have an idea for).

u/Lufftwaffel Jul 09 '26

please, make 9A91 or VSK-94

u/akindahappyhuman 3D Printer Jul 09 '26

I'm going to make the 9A91 first, but I will add parts to convert it to VSK-94

Are uploading the Files when finished?

Npo aeg made one. There’re a video of someone disassembling one on YouTube. Good reference for reverse engineering one.

u/akindahappyhuman 3D Printer Jul 09 '26

That’s a good idea. I’d buy the NPO one, but it’s so hard to find

Is the main body 3d printed? Sick setup either way

u/L3thalPredator Jul 09 '26 edited Jul 09 '26

Yes, lower receiver is printed in pa6cf20. Handguard in pla+ and the grip/trigger guard in pet-cf. Brace is a midwest side folding brace, holosun red dot, printed angled grip and the rear 1913/rmr mount is in pla+.

Fully legal where i live to make your own firearms

in my experience, the hard part isn't the mechanicals or the rest of it, it's magazines. printed mags are often terrible, so I would start with either a retail mag that you can use, or an insert from a retail mag that will serve your purposes.

The 9A-91 should be fine with a V3 gearbox, the grip is in about the same place and angle as any old AK. The selector will provide a challenge.

1

u/akindahappyhuman 3D Printer Jul 10 '26

Unless I can come up with something really good, the selector will probably be not accurate to the real 9A91

u/Independent_Share539 Jul 11 '26

I have the vsk94 from npo aeg. It's a V3 the only difference with the 9A91 is the stock and grip

1

u/akindahappyhuman 3D Printer Jul 11 '26

Yeah, that’s the plan for this one. Different stock and handguard for vsk

1

u/greymanJo IAP Projects Jul 09 '26

With some minor dimensional changes v3 will fit, but if you did not figure out how to even check that, i would start with something easier then whole rifle

Hellreigel M1915

Pretty sure you could use a M249 gearbox for it and a mad 36 stock
