evansy Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 would change the forend on it tho, not a fan of the one given. a LeRue forend is in order methinks. once i get my licence thats the first thing im going to do build an SR47. or i might just get an AK and save me the hassle. haha I have an AK too but you dont put ris on an AK so I had to get an SR-47 to use AK mags and have ris Link to post Share on other sites

mattmanic Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) Nothing really special, I got this today in a swap for my M14. I added a little length to the outer barrel so the silencer looks longer and put my aimpoint on there. I think it looks pretty good but I plan to get a tan CASV, body and emod. After that I'm not sure. Edited May 28, 2008 by mattmanic Link to post Share on other sites

Carter Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Mattmaniac, how's the quality of the plastic? Specifically the crane stock. DBoy's crane stock is one of the stocks I'm wrestling with buying (due to pure economical reasons). Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) Thanks guys. Yes, it is indeed a Shrike...well, an attempt at the Shrike. Didn't want to spend $800 on a Shrike kit, so I bought NewbKiller's custom, did some of my own work, and I'm left with that. Looks like I'll actually need to dump another $300, not $200, on it, though...but it'll wind up with a tacticool bipod and everything once it's done... The UTG bipod just doesn't cut it, lol. -Vic P.S. So...Viper = Connery? Didn't know you changed your bloody name! Edit: Here's a wonky Ghost Recon style rendering of the Shrike I'm trying to create. The 'production' model has a rounded handguard, as ARES ditched the M249 style. So my custom replica is closer to that of the prototype model. Edit 2: Another picture...for good measure. Still need to break out the spray paint... Edited May 29, 2008 by Victory Link to post Share on other sites
Chevieblazer Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 i wouldn't paint that beauty would be such a waste. there is a saying in german: "a gun can have any color, as long as it's black" btw, where's the battery on this one? Link to post Share on other sites
mattmanic Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Mattmaniac, how's the quality of the plastic? Specifically the crane stock. DBoy's crane stock is one of the stocks I'm wrestling with buying (due to pure economical reasons). The quality of plastic varies throughout the gun, the rail protectors are a fairly good looking, strong, textured plastic. The grip is a very nice polymer/fibre sort of stuff and is extremily strong, and the crane stock looks like the cheapest of the lot, it's slightly shiney and not as well textured as the rest. It also wobbles a little on my gun. Aside from all this it is made of very strong plastic, I can't easily bend anything on it by hand and the rubber on the butt is tough but soft enough at the same time. Hope that helps Link to post Share on other sites
