Build off

LOL ..... I hear you on that ...

Shouldn't be looking online either... found the PDI fluted barrel for the L96... thing is SWEET!

*edit*

Ok well got the receiver and barrel stripped down and painted.

I took the hop up rubber and made a really nice air sealer on it. Took the end of the bucking and ran some 8lb fishing line around the end a few times. Then took some silicone and ran a small bead around the barrel and bucking end, as well as over the fishing line to make sure it stayed.

I tested the compression on my cylinder.... and WOW complete air seal. Then again I also have the PDI plastonite cylinder set, so no real surprise there. I do have the stock cylinder so can test that out if needed as well.

I also made sure that all of the barrel spacers were still in place and sturdy. I just used some felt washers that are for a sink faucet. I then just took some electrical tape and ran a few wraps around to make sure that they stay in place.

Everything right now looks and seems normal. Just waiting on the silicone to cure and I will get some pics. It is already late here..... sorry I haven't gotten any pictures up yet, but going through some really crappy family things on my wifes side. So that does take priority over the rifle.

But will get some up this weekend for you guys.

Like the other threads..... don't under estimate the power of a clone with some tweaking.

There is the link to may past thread about some tweaks you can do to the MK96.

Here are some pics of the rifle completed. I couldn't find the camera so I don't have pics of the process.

I attached a long rail to the top of the barrel. I ended up pulling the rail a little bit off center. This was due to the way that I secured it to the barrel while the JB weld was curring.

I do plan on getting a 1-4x scope or something of the like. Would really like to get an Acog or something of the like to put on the rifle.

And before anyone says anything about not being able to see through the scope. Because you can

Gentlemen,

My build off gun may take alittle longer than first percieved

Reasons being I have come up with some work at long last

I am how ever determined to get it done, as its value on resale will be higher, and that is good for 1 specific reason...... it will help to the plane fair

In the next 12 months I plan to emigrate to your side of the pond, but sadly for you guys, not to the US :-/

I'm going to where most people from the north over here tend to emigrate to....... ie the north over there

And just to prove I've done my research..... I'll be living closer to woogie than anyone from michigan, so lets see if you can guess where I hopefully plan to settle if they'll have me?

Close, but no cigar

Jump a further 2 provinces and you'll be close

We thought about Aus or New Zealand and the US but the misses has distant family in Canada so the decision was made.....

Sadly I'm aware of their anal rules that put ours to shame, and I used to think ours were a special kind of anal that you can only find in Britain, so I'll be selling all my weapons before I leave " title="" border="0"/> :'(

On the positive front, as your aware I'm a dab hand at making something good that little bit better, so I'll just have to start a new collection with what I'm allowed to buy, and then just make the rest

All this is on the premise they let me and the misses through the door on my credentials :-/ otherwise I'll be forced to stay here and make the best of a completely shite and over regulated job " title="" border="0"/>

Come to New Zealand We have airsoft!

But I'm sure in a few years Canada won't be that bad. We only just got airsoft legalised here about 3 years ago and only in semi-auto (a pain in the arse sometimes but in general, it creates a far less spammy game style). The first physical airsoft store opened last year and now everything is cheaper and easier to get.

Edit: something on topic: I could have entered my HFC VSR into this if I didn't sell it. Made it a summer project to make it as good as possible for under $200nz. Bought it second hand with Laylax barrel for $150. Bought a new TM cylinder set for $40 and put in a Firefly bucking I had. Tuned it for fun and got it shooting about 330fps and a laser out to 60m. Sold it for $50 profit

Woogie How did you do that amazing snakeskin paint-job? I've always wanted something like that and especially where I play there are lots of pine needles so It's almost perfect(I say almost because they aren't long and thin, no immaturity meant btw , almost for me at least).

That would work, or you can use the ally mesh used to repair car bodies of even a scrim scarf which seems to be favourite over here

SVD style G36 anyone?? ???

I did this just for shit n giggles.....

Its only a mock up, the barrel is massively to long and unwieldy not to mention fragile :-/

But I might do something along this line on the completed gun

To be fair if I cut it in half I'd still have spare length left over after fitting a 509mm barrel

Do you know who I am or what I do to airsoft DMRs? :

As you obviously don't judging by the last comment.....

I dont get on with the SL style stock grip hence the use of the C and I don't want anything everyone else has got or can have, when I finish it'll be the only 1 in the world until someone copies it

Exclusives, that is what the world remembers!!

Woog - I'm trying to source a K or E length foregrip just to try it as it would make connecting the outters together easier, but I've cut the outter down now to fit a 509mm barrel in and it looks the dogs spheres now

I'll post another mock up pic with scope and bi-pod when I finish work, then its a small case of breaking it down into little bits and rebuilding it VA style
