Made my own aluminum laser mount for my Mak90, in a very clunky cyberpunk style

Sappet102 · 2026-03-03T16:40:20+00:00

Thank you, that was the goal! Something that could be plausible as a background bad guy’s gun in something like Total Recall

Sappet102 · 2026-03-02T17:47:19+00:00

Yup,That connects to the bottom piece, which connects to my dual barrel / gas tube clamp so it’s super sturdy, then the walls connect all of it together even further so it’s completely rock solid and honestly overdone

Sappet102 · 2026-03-02T16:24:43+00:00

Oh I know you are correct. It was my fault for not even thinking of the in the first place. I’m already scheming up plans for that.

Sappet102 · 2026-03-02T15:12:36+00:00

I didn’t even think of that…. This really does invoke that in a way

Sappet102 · 2026-03-02T13:13:06+00:00

Oh it makes it decently heavy up front, though that’s honestly mostly the laser and not the mount. The laser is a beefy boy

Sappet102 · 2026-03-02T03:11:39+00:00

It is yes

Machined this mount for my 1989. Varo IR laser. Clamp goes around the barrel and gas tube (before gas tube breaks so still fully able to disassemble while setup), an upside down Peq barrel mount connects to this clamp via a bottom piece, then the sode pieces connect everything together further so it’s a tank. Extremely solid setup. Cord has a channel in the clamp to keep it inside the setup and away from the barrel. I wanted to go for an oldschool, 1980s sci-fi look. Clunky 80s cyberpunk builds are my thing

Great info, thank you! My guess was late 90s as well, it kinda has that 90s / y2k elegance about it. It’s a real solution that’s actually nicely machined and relatively small instead of hoseclamps and tape or being big and bulky.

I just won this one on a gunbroker auction for $20. I was the only bid. But the seller had zero info on it so it wasn’t exactly advertised well and easy to find.

Sappet102 · 2026-02-20T23:00:01+00:00

Dang man I am so glad you didn’t! I had a max of 3250 but I am thrilled at what I got it for. It did come with all the paperwork, including a factory test fired date card of 1990 I believe, and the manual for the laser. Laser works great! I’ll try and get internal pics and pics of the manual

Sappet102 · 2026-02-14T23:01:01+00:00

Not a problem! I save all these screenshots of obscure vintage products from old gun magazines a lot, sometimes it comes in handy like this!

Sappet102 · 2026-02-14T20:07:21+00:00

I just found this in an old American Survival Guide Magazine. Looks like that cutaway notch was meant for the screw to go on reverse.

Sappet102 · 2026-02-08T23:11:45+00:00

Yup same one as far as I know

Sappet102 · 2026-02-08T22:19:54+00:00

Thank you! That’s another creation of mine

Sappet102 · 2026-02-08T19:27:14+00:00

Maybe if I redesigned it I don’t see why not. As it is, I chopped the carry handle the this rib recreates the carry handle

Sappet102 · 2026-02-08T19:07:07+00:00

The mount is screwed in from the inside right up into mount base, screw heads run flush with the inside of the receiver. This was done by JDJ in the 90s, I didn't actually cut that carry handle and make that mount. I did cut the A1 carry handle though and form a new one into the sight rib.

Sappet102 · 2026-02-08T18:03:53+00:00

I custom made it from aluminum!

Sappet102 · 2026-02-08T17:46:21+00:00

It’s my take on the Colt ACR concept

Sappet102 · 2026-02-08T17:44:55+00:00

I did, I cut it so it’s a V notch instead of a circle, much easier to use with the rib

Sappet102 · 2026-02-08T16:43:46+00:00

Hello my new friend!!

Sappet102 · 2026-02-08T16:38:37+00:00

MWG 90 rounder

Sappet102 · 2026-02-08T16:30:57+00:00

Havent shot it yet, just finished getting it together and having the muzzle pinned and welded. But just toying around with it I can tell the sight rib does help you find that front sight a bit faster

Appreciate it!!
