Haven't had a chance to look into it more than the 10 minutes that I spent after you suggested it. Looks like there are a ton of resources out there. The mil-spec trigger replacement parts are pretty ridiculously cheap, too, so it'd make it pretty easy to have a spare set in case I terminally ruin the first set. Definitely considering giving this a shot.If I remember correctly, the Army had a few with a heavier barrell & bipod that were capable of automatic....

At the moment, my main issue is the short stroking with subsonics + suppressor though.

As a respectable old person I couldnt confirm that assumption you just made as to the purpose of the matchstick. Just let it be known that it was wasteful, hard to handle and it wasnt uncommon for steel tubing to wilt, noticably.
Jono you have probably been on a watchlist for a very long time. You are a NZ citizen and we all know that means you are fair game fot TPTB.

I got to carry both M72 and M79 along with my L1A1.
Loved the M79
Happy when I went to Corp training. Truck towed the 105 and I sat in the back.

I have a 1962 L2A1 converted to an L1A1. ex trentham stock, NZSD painted on the butt.
I've also imported an israeli SUIT and dust cover. it groups well, rounds touching at 100m (the longest I've tested it to yet)
my cousin has an A cat L1A1 converted to look like an L2A1. I gave it a go shooting, turns out it's more comfortable if you grab both bipod legs, hold them on the left side of the rifle and tuck the butt under your armpit. I found you have to be careful where you touch it once the heavy barrel heats up. even though it takes longer to get hot, it also takes longer to cool down.
I am therefore I do
I had a "live'' shot with the m79 after getting closest to the barrel target during Basic with a practice round.....Prick of a trigger, you had to push down so hard on the top triggery bit that I found it virtually impossible to aim & the rocket sailed off into the distance....good bang though!!
dunno how you'd hit a speeding anything , with it. practice I 'spose. Wonder if an RPG would be as difficult?
Had my peep sight for the SKS arrive today, to the day that they said it would arrive. Not bad I thought since it'd come 1/2 way 'round the planet to our Rural Delivery address.
The hills will be alive to the sound of gunfire tomorrow as I try to get the hang of them.

Apparently that is true with most home-made 'full-auto' conversions, particularly the uncontrollable wastefull bit...

Sounds more like the M72 (rocket launcher) than the M79 (grenade launcher).I had a "live'' shot with the m79 after getting closest to the barrel target during Basic with a practice round.....Prick of a trigger, you had to push down so hard on the top triggery bit that I found it virtually impossible to aim & the rocket sailed off into the distance....good bang though!!

M79 trigger was heavy but just like a single barrel shotgun. M72 had that rubber button thing on the top of the tube you had to push doan real hard on.

Yes. arms manufacturers spend a lot of time, money and energy into developing their rock n roll machines. I know of some that were deliberately slowed down in their cyclic rate so as to be easier to handle.
Ever fired a Sten. Definitely "spray and pray'.
Even the MP5 on auto wasnt to good. Anything over 50 metres was a long shot.
Best time I had was with an M16 in fa. Walked the bullets to the 100 metre target and then held it on for a few seconds til the mag ran out. Change mag and do it again.
Bren gun. Best of all. Not fast but very accurate. barrel heated up a real treat though.
Ma Deuce now that was a beast. Not as fast as the GPMG but who cares. Mounted on an APC it was rock steady and accurate.
FA isnt supposed to be accurate. Supposed to give a field of cover, who wants 50 bullets going into one group when you have a lot of baddies comming at you. You want baddies to be fearful and duck down. lots of bullets scattered in a reasonably controlable area.

My experience too - and the trigger and firing rate were so well matched that single shots while on full auto mode were easy-peasy!

When doing my basic I was placed in an OCTU platoon, only 20 of us in the intake.
One day our officer decided that since we couldnt leave base that weekend but we didnt have to train, that we should have a yippeee shoot. We took SLR's, M16's, Bren guns in .303, GPMG, AK47's, a couple of UZI's and what ever else he could get ammo for. This included an APC with a MA Deuce mounted on it.
For two days we burned powder and had fun. Almost 40 years ago and it still rings in the memory.
My first taste of rock n roll and left a yearning for more that I still havent lost.

Ya get a 'feel' about how to best use a variety of weapons on full auto eh!
Some are just 'right' and easily controlled and predictable, others like a badly tuned chain-saw on steroids...
