darthrebelpenguin Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I will, one day, own one of those CYMA M1A1s (The Cybergah version, though...I'm a sucker for trademarks.) with a wood kit, like the one in Dukeman's post...that, is one b-e-a-utiful SMG. -Vic Don't bother, their civilian trades and their painted on.

mikoyan99 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Just got My D-boy's mauser back from the gunsmiths: Real Belgian wood stock (£10), and has been modified to take stripper clips. All in all, very happy with this. -Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
[BS]_MARS Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 That's cool. I know about 4 guys with the D Boys K98 and they can use stripper clips with theirs so that seems odd. Did the stock require lots of cutting? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikoyan99 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Mine may have been mis-cast. We had to file the hole for the stripper clip before we could use them. -Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gigueand Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Howdy all, Can someone post a size comparison shot between a Thompson and an M4? I'm considering the Thompson, but I want to check the size with a weapon that I am very familiar with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Burke Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I also put this in the homade thread Still need to paint it up and finish up the solution for the working bolt. But its externals are 99% done. I need to finish the little nub protruding from the front sight. I did things a little differently than 2ndBat (ww2airsoft association). I basically followed the Ontario directions. I used a synthetic stock kit for the front and rear handguards. I had gotten a great deal on the entire set a while back and was hoping the synthetic stock would work for a Garand stock conversion. Unfortunaetly it didnt. I used a Plastic Welding method I learned from Epyon on airsoftretreat. Its really simple, a soldering iron heated u will weld the plastic together. I worked the area welded over and over till I was sure I had asolid joint all the way thru. If I needed something filled, I used slivers from the front portion that was cut off the stock. This is a lot stronger than bondo or filler. Im tempted to actually try to weld the traditional Garand hump on the stock itself. The thing that I think makes my Conversion a little bit special is the usage of the front of the M14 stock. I pried off the metal band and chopped the stock flush as you would with normal conversions. Instead of mounting the handguard band on the flushness I went back to the piece of stock I had discarded. The U-shaped protusions underneath the metal band fit perfectly into the Garand sling swivle piece. So I chopped off the U-shaped joint and Plastic welded it to my already cut down Stock. This allows everythign to mount very cleanly and solidly, especially in combination with the gas cyclinders set screw.. I have no reservations suing the front sling swivle. Garand Front end with #6-32 set screw holding it all together. Tap was cheap at Home depot Butt with Garand plate. Rear of stock was plastic welded. Side dots plastic welded and filled Entire front end Closeup of grips together Plastic welded stock. Grips and stock showing how they go together Quote Link to post Share on other sites
[BS]_MARS Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Really quality stuff man. The only down side of using the plastic hand guards is that it's not wood! Now here comes the REALLY sucky part, mags! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Killbucket Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 (edited) Thanks! The drum mag is from a springer, I sawed up the stock stick mag and a hicap from an M14 to make it work. Fake aged metal tutorial The front grip is from IMA. It's a real wood Tommy grip! Edited November 22, 2008 by Killbucket Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Killbucket Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 (edited) P40 warhawk, anybody? One of the most fun paint jobs I've ever done. If I still had a motorcycle, it would look like this. No shiny paint to worry about. If people were duracoating guns WBW (waybackwhen), would there have been ODrab Tommies? I should have painted some "kills" on it somewhere... This one's a CYMA clone. Want to know how to tell, on sight, a Marui from a CYMA? Look at the screw holding the grip on. The Marui used the correct slotted head, the CYMA has a Phillips. Edited November 22, 2008 by Killbucket Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Killbucket Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Something I forgot to add to the aged metal tutorial: To get a convincing "greasy" look, I spray the whole aged surface with matte clear, to dull it. Then I use high-gloss clear wherever a real gun would be oozing melted gungrease. Part of what tricks the eye into seeing "metal", is that machinery almost never has an even shine to it.
