nordom Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 finally (after half of year), i've done it. The markings are authentic diemaco export version markings, the outer barrel (16") is made of steel on the factory. here're some photos, if you have some questions -- wellcome=) http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a29/nordo...emaco/right.jpg http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a29/nordo...maco/muzzle.jpg http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a29/nordo...emaco/left2.jpg The final cost is about 1500 USD (a little bit more maybe) Link to post Share on other sites

snorkelman Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 great attention to detail and excellent looking gun I suspect you'll be told to move it to the armalite thread though.. Link to post Share on other sites
mr eagle Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Very nice!! Link to post Share on other sites
Frangible Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Good work - that's the most realistic set of markings/mods I've seen on an Airsoft DieMaco replica to date - edit just realised you put the variant in the title! If I could read, I'd be dangerous! Link to post Share on other sites
DrewLawson Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 That is one awesome looking body. Link to post Share on other sites
nordom Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 oh, i forgot to say about internals: it's aseembled in 7mm CA gearbox with custom steel gears, systema spring and shortened to fit outer barrel prometheus 6.03 AK barrel. BB. the GB is strenghted with metal buckles and this makes box work even if it'll be broken (i had an AUG with 3 cracks in GB and it still works) Ask details about speed or GB in PM, if you're interested in it.

Larsen Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Beautiful! I've always wanted a SFW myself. You don't have the Kongsberg logo on it though? Setting up a Hærens Jegerkommando loadout? Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Serial number has NL for Netherlands; that intentional? Link to post Share on other sites
nordom Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Serial number has NL for Netherlands; that intentional? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i don't think that in this case NL is for Netherlands, cause i've seen here ( http://www.fulton-armory.com/PatternRoom.htm ) the SFW with the same NL markings. Strange enough, cause AFAIK, british SAS sometimes uses Diemaco and there's no need, as i think, to bring the rifle from Netherlands to England, if you already have it here. Beautiful! I've always wanted a SFW myself. You don't have the Kongsberg logo on it though? Setting up a Hærens Jegerkommando loadout? I haven't even seen this logo, so of course there is no such logo on this rifle. AFAIK, Kongsberg is arsenal or armory in Norway? About HJK: yes, we're trying to reconstruct (reennect? sorry, don't know how it'll be in english -- trying to look and act like as close as possible) HJK, but it's too hard: the troubles with m98, and the lack of information about HJK and their equipment. And, of course, money. The original NFM vest costs too much, and some of us won't be able to buy even combatkit rifle vest. Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Did we link to the same gun? Anyways, very nice, and I'd love one myself Took the trades of my CA (white? yeuch...) and bought a sling from Holland. Just need that body and an ELCAN I guess Top stuff, Doc Link to post Share on other sites
Full Metal Jacket Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Uhm... dude, The HJK, FSK and the MJK's Diemaco's has other markings than the ones you chose. correct trades (Notice how there's no "NL", just a simple N in the serialnumber? ) Also, the M98 isn't a uniform for field use. They use BDU's that can be ordered from the companies who make them, keep in mind though they're rather expensive. Link to post Share on other sites

Frangible Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 LOL the Authentinazis are out I believe the Brits are sporting a mixture of the Dutch SFWs with the NL suffix as well as the ones with the dedicated L119A1 stamp but Lord knows what the rest of the world is using.. Anyway, as everyone else is saying on the thread: good work, and it's definitely the best looking DieMaco replica that I've seen in Airsoft Link to post Share on other sites

I think a rip stop bdu cost about 1600 nok, but you'll have to order it by phone I think. Is the barrel on your replica 16" ? Link to post Share on other sites

Is the barrel on your replica 16" ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know about Ringstag, but they don't respond, didn't know about Bergans and Helly Hansen, thanks for this info. I've asked NFMCaseb if they could sell some BDU's or Vests (Wolf or, at least CV-1) -- their reply was: we can't help you. I think that's because ministry of defence forbid to sell any m98 stuff (as i've been said in airsoft.no). Yes, the barrel is about 16" +/- 2mm and made to look like heavy barrel. It's custom made of steel. Link to post Share on other sites
