I was interested in the Lothar Walther adapter. It didn't use any modified parts, just additional/substituted parts. Single shot with a rod poking down the barrel to extract the fired case. No special magazines.

My micro-machining is pretty crude; best I can do with what I have. A design exercise. A brain teaser. A time waster. An extension of this thread -

I am interested in the design. How it functions, How & why. My attempt is crude because I don't have the specialized tooling for a project this small. My machinery is not accurate enough to hold very small tolerances.

To paraphrase John Wayne..."It's not all I've got...it's what I've got".

I would not say your work is "crude" at all.

I put a .22 magazine inside the original T 14 shell, using JB weld to
hold it in position. It would feed, but like I said, never could balance the springs - some day I'll get inspired and wind some more!
