Hi All,

A short time ago I set myself the challenge of getting the VZ61 to fire on full auto, I have had some success (not much ) but will get there eventually!!. I never give up

Whilst reading a post by Cerwyn RE: the XM177E2, I saw mention of Lucifer on Youtube,

WELL...Just spent 3 fantastic hrs tracking my way through this guys work on Youtube etc. I would recommend all those who haven't seen his work to take a look!

Anyway RE: the VZ61, if you are interested pump the following link into Google, hit translate option and enjoy

I couldn't agree more, lucifer is quite some engineer

I've posted up links to several of his projects (which you've probably seen by now). He very kindly produced an English version of his Marushin M712 video for us which also gives some details of his "Type X" cartridges.
Just look at the work that's gone into making those 5.56mm look-alike cartridges




The M712 and XM177 videos show just how much work and "tuning" he's put into making these models as they should. If only we all had a lathe, milling machine, cnc machinery and the skills

Having just read through lucifer's Blog pages I've now got a headache. If only translating from Japanese to English was easier

I wish Hudson (and other manufacturers) would put as much research, thought and work in their replicas...
