Well I started on the original outer barrel.

Started off with 180 grit paper and ended with 000 steel wool sanding pad. Doesn't look to bad at this point, but can still see some really fine scratches. So plan on going back over it here this weekend.

So for only doing about an hour and a half of work on it, it doesn't look to bad. Got to wishing that I had my tax money already. As I could toss the barrel on the lathe and get her spinning nice and fast, and get her polished up really quick

But she is coming along and looking nice. Don't want to post up any pics, until I can get her all done

And since I don't have the rest of the rifle the barrel is going on, no need to get it done to quick.

You are just going to make it beautiful and then sell it? Why?

 

[woogie]

I like to work on the rifles and them and then work on another one

I have more fun working on them then I do in playing with them to be honest. And I like to see the buyer when they get the rifle. That is probably the best

 

[woogie]

Well I have the outer barrel done, well for now anyway.

This barrel will probably go on the MK96 that I am going to be getting

The barrel could use a little more work, but I like it the way it is. I already dinged the end cap as well.... .... Oh well it will still look great on the finished rifle.

 

[gnb569]

I think this will look cool. Are you entering both guns in the contest?

 

[woogie]

Well I already have a few people that are wanting to buy this rifle right now.

So I am thinking I am going to focus on the L96 and make that the target rifle.

Being as people around me are either hit and miss for games, and with money getting tight. I am thinking I wont be doing as much playing in the summer coming up. So will try to keep atleast one rifle for plinking and winning.....er....... working on

That two tone on the polished barrel looks sexy.
You are the man.

 

[fuzzywolly]

This barrel will probably go on the MK96 that I am going to be getting

Woah, another mk96? It is about time...

M99 is looking good. Its cute.

 

[woogie]

Just know that the black is going to be going here soon.

Going to get another color in there to make it really one off.

And yes another MK96. I have been really pissed at myself for selling my first one. I miss that thing a lot. So going to pimp out the one I am getting now and make her my target rifle

 

[woogie]

Ok guys.

Well I did some tweaking to the PDI barrel and the AERO Chamber. And what was great...... I didn't have to do any mods to the barrel or chamber

So everything can be reversed to the original condition.

Right now the G-spec inner barrel is sitting in the rifle now, as well as the chamber. She is shooting really well.

I am thinking about putting her up for sale here really quick.

So if anyone wants her as she is, just let me know. Can work something out before I put her up for all the other forums to get it.

Wow, that's very nice looking and very original. I like it! Also, I've heard around that there aren't any sears for this rifle. You said you ordered some, so does it take regular APS sears? Also, checkout this guy:

He has a few DIY mods that look pretty good, including a magazine mod. I almost bought that rifle back when it was dirt cheap on retailers and looked at this guys videos for upgrades, DIY mods, disassembly, etc.

 

[woogie]

I like it so that is always good

And I did get my MK96 yesterday as well, and test fit the outter barrel to the reciever.........and no go I could make it fit, by cutting the outter barrel and doing some major modding. But don't want to mess with the outter barrel.

So now waiting on my other parts and already looking at selling her off for some cash. Need some funds to pay for the mK96 target rifle

 

[woogie]

Well guys I think I have been bitten by the polishing bug.

I haven't even had this MK96 for a day, and she is already polished up and shiney. Working on the little bits now, and then heading to town to get some new paint. This is going to be my pure target rifle.... nothing more and nothing less.
