    swapping out the barrel and the gearbox is simple. all the plastic parts in both guns are the same, just different colour. swapping barrels and hop-ups on both augs is really simple too.
    the rail system will take anything you can throw at it. next i need to add a flashlight, a laser, and a bipod with wheels, so i can move it. lol.

    this is high praise indeed!!! an AUG basher likes it, i must have done something right!! go me! :)


    Oh i hate AUGs too, and in fact, I'm not made on the A3 rail yet. but i do love the averall look going on. :)

    Nice Kar98 in there too.,

    80grit my middle nut. There's the guts of a grands worth of silver plating on that. People in airsoft are so used to seeing the cheap way to "bling" a rifle or pistol, they forget people exist that are willing to put in a lot more effort, planning and thought into the work than others are.

    As for it being disgusting, well, it's still an AK, so yeah, it looks horrible. However, the silver saved it somewhat. Can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear though.

    Ha! Wishful thinking buddy!

    Though my friend has been harping on about getting her that Hello Kitty M870 on Redwolf for her birthday ever since I showed her the image, so the idea is cutting close to the bone.

    It's a lot shinier than the picture shows. The silver is polished and then scotch-brushed.

    Remind me to actually get your stuff in the shop on Saturday. I couldn't find it 2 weeks ago and didn't think of it last week. I did a test run on a spare WE 1911 frame, turned out well but had some issues with some of the moving parts that I didn't bother removing, like the grip-safety, completely siezing.

    You seem to be missing the point. It was done for a) curiosity if results, b) opportunity to do something different and c) becoz it's blingin' innit.

    Custom pieces don't have to make sense. Wedging a pair of 500bhp engines into a carbon fiber and aluminium spaceframe and throwing a couple of superchargers in to boot doesn't make sense from a car building standpoint. Bugatti still did it though, and flogged it for a fraction of the cost price. Why? Because they could and they were curious to see what it'd turn out like, as were plenty of other people. Same goes for this. I did it because I could and because other people wanted to see the result. Noone wants one any more than they realistically want minigun, but everyone's curious to see it.
    To me, it still looks like an AK, and I can't stand AK's. But tasteful or not, how many people do you know that have such a unique one?

    /rant (I do rather hate being told I've wasted time on anything)

    Oh, and by the way, it's hanging in the shop getting plenty of attention. All of it very good. Purpose served.

    It has been getting a rave response in the shop.

    I've had 4 people genuinely enquire about prices. There is a market for this sort of stuff.

    One guy who doesnt play airsoft, never been to a site, has such nice kit it makes me quiver..he has a full absolute badass Army of Two loadout, and is willing to drop alot of money to someone who can chrone an m4, gold plate and ak and silverise and glamorise a 249 para.

    Dex is onto a winner here :D

    A bribe usually works. I'd settle for a pm/email/phone call to the shop on Saturday, just to remind me to bag it.

    Is that actually an American belt doc? it looks kinda like one of them Davis belts but im not sure if its that or an old french one.
    The davis belt was made in about 67-69 never really issued in large supply coz it had a fault whereby it could actually come undone by itself.,
    the older 56 belt is a lot more common and has a much better clasp.,:)

    airsoft global

    they are in japan do all the pro gear pricy but they put a big cert on the packet explaining that the bits are toys that they couldn't be used to hurt any one and other helpful stuff

    i couldn't recommend them more

    my next project is a hfc m190 with comp that i'm gonna put a long tightbore into and use a cnc ring to fix the barrel into the comp

    like an accucomp but with a beretta, you'll be proud of what happened yer olkd beretta

    Sounds good alrite, the price of those kinda parts is what put me off building a race gun. That and i made the mistake of buying a new slide that was a bastard to fit and didnt look into the price of upgrade parts first. Does it Cycle properely with that tightbore?
