You could try a similar method to real steel gun bedding :shrug:


I've just done my VSR scout and it made a bit of difference to both accuracy and sound as it holds everything rock solid.

I used 2 pack body filler, mixed it with half the recomended amount of hardener applyed it in small amount to the stock then, after sealing with tape and covering in grease and cling film, pressed the mechanics into the stock and firmly clamped them together so that the filler squeezed into any voids.

Keep a small amount of filler on your mixing board so you can guage how hard it is, and when its just starting to cure hard pull the mech box out, then re-insert it, then take it out again..... and repeat a couple more times until the filler is hard.

What you should have is a solidly mounted gearbox that has all the tracks gouged out to allow it to be removed easily.

You may find it needs repeating a couple of times to get all the spaces filled, and its always better to do alittle at a time as this makes mistakes easier to cure :yup:

If I followed that correctly Vindi, the plan is too slap filler into the places I want filling then place my gearbox (protected with clingfilm which is coated in grease to prevent sticking) into the stock so the filler can take the shape of the gearbox as well as the stock.

Then, when the filler begins to dry remove the gearbox and re-insert it. Repeat several times to ensure that the filler has molded the tracks needed for insertion and removal of the gearbox?

Correct :tup:

It can be abit messy, though no where near that of expanding foam, and once hard can easily be carved/sanded to fit.

Like I said, I've just done it to my VSR scout and the results are positive, but as I was only messing with a trigger group it was quite easy, I'm not sure how it would fair with all the moving parts etc that are involved with an AEG, but I'm sure if you were carefull with how you protected them to enable them to still function properly it'd still be perfectly feasable :yup:

Rubberized paint ey? I've not heard of that, that's something I will have to look into!

Yup, I painted someones bathroom floor in it on wednesday!!

I'll stick to wrapping my barrel in Etape to about 5mm thick for the time being, less messy, slightly more effective :yup:

Electrical tape no?

Thats Correct :tup:

I do it in bands side by side leaving about 3mm gap between them, I also make the Etape external diameter totaly variable, between 3 and 5mm, you can go bigger than 5mm if you have the space inside the outer barrel, this disturbs and breaks up the viabrations harmonics, its almost as good as any solid barrel spacer :yup:
