I have built 3 E-11 blasters out of wood/pvc/styrene and the MG-34 has been the easiest by far. I will show you the easiest & cheapest way to go about building your own mg-34 out of stuff you can find at the local Lowes or Home Depot.
**Danger**
You can get hurt using tools so take the time to read the instructions and safety manual before doing something that can get you hurt! I recommend to always wear safety glasses, because without your sight you couldn't watch Star Wars movies or finish making your blaster!!!
Step 1: The Reciever
Materials needed:
2 - 3/4"X 6" X 36" Hardwood boards (they are called craft boards at Lowes)
Wood glue, drywall screws (fine thread is best)
Scroll saw or sabre saw, Drill, Dremel tool
Printed templates: Left / Right & Middle (Right click on the pictures and then save them to print off later)
Instructions:
Print the templates and cut out the pictures, making sure to take your time and keep the lines as straight as possible. Tape the top and bottom pieces together so they line up correctly. Put the templates on your board and try to place it so that you don't waste any board space. Trace around the left/right template then repeat the procees so you end up with 2 left/right traces. You only need one of the middle template. When cutting these out with the saw take your time It will be worth it later. When you are through cutting you should end up with 3 pieces, left, right & middle. Using the wood glue put the three pieces together. Drill 3 pilot holes spread out on the receiver, then put in some drywall screws to re-inforce the glue. Let this dry for a while. See photo:
After you have let the glue dry, take some time sanding the receiver. You should do this now and get it over with! I used the dremel tool and a belt sander to smooth out the edges. The next step is to find a cutting bit that will be big enough to make the hole for your pvc barrel and stock to fit into. I used 1" pvc with 1" connectors. To make the barrel removeable you will need to make the hole in the front of the receiver fit the connector not the actual pipe. I used a 1 1/4" hole saw. If you have to make the hole a little bigger than the connector thats ok, glue will fix the rest. The rear hole must be drilled to fit the 1" pvc pipe and not the connector. I used a 1" hole saw, but had to sand the hole to fit the pipe. See photo for hole placement
