well here goes nothing, after a helping hand from a very kind member on Arnies i have made real progress with the FSK loadout.
still need the knee pads, head gear and comms alog with the 416
please excuse my cat Loki

wow i like that holster! shame the CPC is so expensive, i would get one otherwise.......

I can take pics of my Detonics' nozzle and bbu if you need them, but if you meant sticking it on a regular 1911 slide I don't think anyone's tried that yet. Another problem is that the nozzle and bbu aren't available on their own IIRC so you'd need to get them from a donor gun.
some pictures would be great, i just need to get an idea of other alternatives if i am required to make changes to the BBU and Nozzle due to the placement of the RMR mount
-
for the life of me i can't seem to find any railed frames for sale i need one for this project but everywhere i have looked so far all the NOVA kits are sold out. unless having a rail machined similar to the one on the Desert Warrior is an option but i will have to have a chat with my machinist to see if it is possible at all.

The compensator looks off with the rest of it, tbh! Spend some time with some wet and dry (or better yet, micromesh) and buff it to a high sheen!
Fellowz: Those magpull grips look really quite nice. What are they like in the hand?
they are very nice indeed, a little narrower than the old grips but ill get some spacers for them eventually, but very nice to hold and shoot the texture isnt as grippy as some but thats not much of a concern to me
-
the Project has started, Magpul Grips arrived and fit well and feel great! RMR mount and RMR are on their way with any luck and the threaded outer barrel is being drawn up as. i think i will keep it TAN and do the black detailing.
once the machining trials have been done to the slide i can move on to the Metal slides, might get the lightweight blowback unit too.

anyone ever done a D shaped nozzel or have any pictures of one? so i can have a good idea of what is required
-
is this Volante's power up BBU as good or if not better than the AIP one or the NOVA? ive used a few in the past and so far the only one i rate is the Airsoft Surgeon version.
i will most likely run this gun on green gas or propane and of course using the 40rd long mags with 30 rounds in them should give me enough bang for my buck.

The only way you're going to get this to work with any reasonable amount of effort is a custom mount like the one you've pictured that's attached to the top of the slide. There simply is not enough space in the slide above a standard BBU to 'sink' the RMR into it; if you look at similar weapons (like the Gunsmodify Salient kits) you'll see they have completely custom BBUs, nozzles, the works.
Oh really? I'll file that information away - I might have some business for you later this year.
There are several American members on this forum who may be happy to help you with shipping difficulties.
that shouldn’t be much of a problem, I have a good machine shop at work with people who are willing to make some parts for me if i cross their palm with silver, the other option would be to use the rear sight dovetail to make a mount for them to fit but the mount i have pictured is made of steel and may be a little heavy but even if i do purchase it i can always have it redone in work with some aluminium. the RMR replica is ordered so when it arrives i can have a closer look and practice a few solutions on the TM plastic frames as they are cheap and easy to source before i move on and purchase a metal slide of any description.
as long as this work you have in mind is relatively small i am more than happy to do it size limitations on some of the equipment stops me from making anything over 8" square in the 3D printers.
I have emailed the company regarding the mount if they don't ship i need a willing volunteer to ship it over to me

Doable? Yes. BUT not without some SERIOUS work on redesigning both a new slide and a new BBU.
See the problem with current availiable slides is.. there is not enough material to secure an RMR in there, the slide would have to be designed anew. Plus there aren't any tall sights availiable on the market.
A while ago I toyed with the idea of securing the RMR directly to a custom BBU, and machining the slide to accomodate that.
On the current designs, even if you opened up the slide to accomodate the RMR, the space for the sights would be gone (since those also use the BBU for secure placement).
The best bet would be a custom BBU with a dovetail for RS sights (or for sighs in general) with a place to screw the RMR into. That way the RMR would fit snuggly into the slide AND the bbu, securing it in place for good.
that would require alot of work but i will "practice" on the plastic slides to see what and what can't be done but my guess would be that i would either have to make a platform that would just grub screw into the slide on the sides or another option which i have seen is buy or manufacture a mount that will slide into the dovetail slot eliminating the chances of a rear iorn sight. it is an option but until i can start fiddling around with things i will not know for certain, i have access to a 3D scanner and 3D printer at work and with some CAD manipulation and some careful measruing i may be able to come up with something so stay tuned for this.
found what i hope to achieve
with an luck i can get hold of a RMR mount but the issue i have is that the one i need i can't ship over here from the USA which is a big bummer
-
Basically i have a TM DW which i sold to a friend which he now wants to sell back to me and move on to a 226 as he wasnt happy with the gas grip size on the DW. so that is my donor gun
it will be a complete reubuild using a smiliar style slide and frame to the TM but being full metal with different markings (hoping to get my hands on a springfield one) and i will machine the top to accept an RMR replica and find some taller iron sights to peer over the RMR, the whole thing will be black with FDE/TAN grips perhaps some silver pieces like tirggers and slide release and the hammer saftey etc...
so the basic idea is to try and replicate the look of the FNX 45 Tactical but with a desert warrior.
incase some people are unfamiliar with the FNX this is what i am talking about
so as we can see here the FNX has the RMR, raised iron sights and a threaded barrel and a front rail for mounting a torch, i will be running the 40rd long mags with this as i am doing alot of CQB this year and am looking for a nice reliable but customisable pistol. i can machine most parts such as the threaded barrel as i am unsure if ther is a 4.3" threaded barrel on the market. and of course the internals will get a complete overhaul with new blowback unit, cylinder head, valves and springs.
so what do you guys think, is it doable?
-
has anyone done a Desert Warrior 4.3 build? ive been toying with the idea for a while and i have a donor gun i just need to buy alot of upgrade parts for it now to get it looking the way i need it to

had some goodies come through the post this morning, very happy indeed
the FSK look is coming along nicely. still have a mountain of stuff to get but so far so good!
apologies for naff photos, the weather out here in not so sunny Wales is well.....not so sunny and more of a monsoon kinda theme going on.
-
provisional setup for the FSK/MJK loadout still have a few things to get and rearrange
SAPI plates are going to be added too.
please forgive the tacticool pillow
-
this will doe nicely, many thanks, ill test print one if i can get it to fit in the printer, if the tolerances are good i can have one machined
-
indeed multicam is just too common now and i am honestly fed up of seeing it.
but hey, nice CIRAS, if you dont want it i can always take it off you're hands
-
if i can get hold of the drawings for the A3 rail and exact measurements it would be a simple job to CNC mill one, same goes for any other parts really if i can get the part for measurement/3d scanning or a full drawing of it i can throw a few £'s at the lads in the machine shop to bash a few out. hell i can even 3D print small plastic parts too such as pistol grips and rail covers.
i will have to do a few trials for 3D scanning to see if the tolerances match up but as for machining if people trust me with the unbroken/original part i can have them machined if they are not too complex.
-
most of the links ive clicked on are dead unfortunately, ive tried looking at WGC/Redwolf etc. for barrels but i am unsure as to which length is pictured on the A3
-
that is pretty nice., well i am starting off with the AUG civi, and ordering a HC receiver (how long that will take is another question) so i can mod that rail onto the HC receiver, there are 2 lengths of rail 9" and 11" i am guessing the 9" would be the better one to go for, i may even go as far as to mod the rail to get a QD mount on it as i have a machine shop and a wealth of technicians at my disposal for such an ambitious idea
as for the short outer barrel, what options are there?
-
this is a goldmine! all that goodness, i am starting to like those Navy Blue/Black BDU/Suits they use too

sweet jesus!

being from norway i would assume it would be alot easier to get hold of than me being from the UK, i am sure there are some helping hands on the arnies forum that would point you in the right direction, i don't wish to name names for fear of being cut off from norwegian goodness
