    Worth a punt on Cyma. They were always very rock solid in my LCTs, so could be in the larger side?

    Same here in LCT AK63, but I usally sand a bit the front "teeth" (I sand the front surface with belt sander).

    the type you already have with those phony USMC markings, barely taking the paint off and revealing the metal underneath.

    No problem, because the original will be covered with quite thick layer of camo paint... I use Montana colors, because having about 15 years of experience (If using Montana as camo paint, I only paint in summer over 30 degrees, making extra dry and rought finish). After it I will use the gun for one year. After one year usage I will make some extra wear effect with >400 (or worn out 300) sand paper, steel wool, scrubbing sponge and 100% alcohol (Montana can be diluted with alcohol). After that I will separete the lower and go to laser engraving. I may rub a minimal paint (black or camo) inside the engraving. I may use some paint with my airbrush to cover the original letters if needed.

     

    Laser engraving is by us less than 3 pounds/step. My one is 2 step. So terribly cheap. A professional engraver could make it; but it would cost at least 10-40× more. For me doesn't worth it.

     

    Your methot is nice (I may try it on else, for example on a GBB pistol slide, or western rifle), however letters of the L119 script are too fine for that, plus a professional CNC cut sticker will cost more than the engraving.

    2008-11-09 is my first airsoft game's date... so 9th november... but I will have one year to think about. I will spraypaint it in late summer (hot weather is ideal for extreme matte finish)... Next year I will make the natural ageing better, and after that the laser engraving (after engraving will have to repaint around the engraving with airbrush).

    Here is the template made in Word. Online is not totall OK, hope if you download, it will be better (made in Word 2007'). You can edit it offline too...

    Please if somebody make it better; re-share it here!

    Engraving will be tricky, and will be after camo paint (laser engraving).

    I finished with the markings: serial number and ID is my birth date and first airsoft game's date...

    Soo, you think I have to mill out some material from there, at the side too? Thanx!

    I already custom made the sling swivel; and cut, plus threaded the barrel. Next I will do this 45 degree job, but waiting for 45 degree end-mill.

    Fun fact: this was the first game in over 15+ years of playing fake army that I ever seriously injured myself. Tripped and fell on some concrete at a prison game and broke a rib.

    I felt into an owergrowth covered 2 meters deep pit during game... it was filled with broken glass and sharp-rusty steel wood bits... Nothing happes, because I felt on my feet on a 20x20 cm flat concrete block in the middle. (OK, I nearly collapsed, after jumping out of the pint some second later, because of nearly 200/min hearth rate...)

    Sadly i broke my right ankle some months later while standing, and slipping minimally on soft snow (Airsoft again.) I had to be transported home, to remove my snow ghille, to be "ER compatible". Nobody believed how i did it.

     

    Luck is rolling... 😒

    E&L AKS74MN gen 2 with MAG RPK 74 midcap.

    Did you have experience with black E&L 74 mid caps? My two not working, hence beeing brand new (I got it for free, but really annoying). BB-s stuck in' even outside the AEG... that's why "not feeding".

    Thanx!

    There has never been a FG42 airsoftgun...

    There is a US ww2 airsoft association forum (really old) a genius guy there converted a Shoei Type I. Fg42 into airsoft, with modded' V3 gearbox in the stock and about 20 cm long nozzle.

     

    That was it (NOT MINE!!! Hope owner not disagree, sadly I cannot remeber his nickname... "Smitty"??? Sorry...)

    Yeah, either that or MCBK.

    Too bad TMC didn't do more of these.

    Now have (in transit) old US skull crusher:

    -bad side: I think less comfortable

    -good side: I play on russian/rebel side, so helmet usally not allowed, nightcap border case
