Candyman Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Im not big into airsoft, i like it and all its just not my whole life. Ive got a WA GBB and a MP5 that hangs on the wall looking scary but I dont very often actually shoot them, in all honesty prolly once a year or so. So anyway I looked at buying an asahi WA2000 about a year ago but just couldnt bring myself to part with the £2k for it so I passed on this once in a life time opertunity. I was thinking about making one but dint have enough time until recently. Im pretty good with that sort of thing but the wood parts were worrying me a bit, metal im ok with. I make radio controlled monster truck chassis mainly but I was looking to have a break from that for a bit and spend a couple of months building this instead. If anyone wants to see my truck work www.ukmonsters.co.uk Im not going to post all the pics, I have about 200 odd on my site so if your really interested have a look here Candymans Airsoft WA2000 Build A few stats for you: Time to build: 222 hours Cost of gun parts: £255 Cost of accesories: £150 Weight of gun: 6.4kg Barrel length: 650mm I made it entirely from pictures obtained on the web, mainly the black and white side on view I have on my site, the only dimention I had is the 905mm overall length, i scaled everything from this. Tools were quite limited, I have a pilar drill, apart from that the basics, vice, hacksaw, files, dremel, stuff like that. Link to post Share on other sites

horzathesecound Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Candyman, that is awesome! I was wondering if you know what the FPS is? or perchance, the effective range? I think i read a topic about this project somewhere, and it was saying that if you put a longer barrel on a GBB, than the FPS increases. I was wondering whether the FPS has rised at all?

demon.b Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Damn fine piece of craftsmanship Link to post Share on other sites
Candyman Posted June 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Thank you all. Not sure of the fps yet, it seems strong, I now have a higher flow valve to get more gas out per shot, i think this will help due to the mahoosive barrel. When i get my hands on a chrono I will let you all know. As for building another, probably not, this was 222 hours start to finish. Even at £10 an hour + materials that £2500 ish. I didnt plan to sell it or build another really, i just wanted one! Link to post Share on other sites
emperorluigi Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Candyman, you're my hero. That is a lovely bit of kit. I wish I could do stuff like that Link to post Share on other sites
horzathesecound Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 It is beutiful mate, really nice. Thinking of doing the same thing (well GBB base) to make a Dragunov, as im pretty handy with wood as well. Can't wait to get the figures, may lead me on to a career of sniping in airsoft. Again mate, great work, it looks great. Link to post Share on other sites
davedawg123 Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 That is simpy amazing. Great work! I have a question. Are you still using the GBB magazine? Or do you have a custom magazine for it? I see you machined the magwell, but there doesn't appear to be the mag for it in any of your pictures. Link to post Share on other sites
