Treadhead Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Beat me to posting the fire selector mod there heroshark - I finally got a chance to combat test my CQ-Beastie with it's fire selector last weekend, worked a dream... Btw, is that gun metallic green or are my eyes on the wonk? RE: slings, I tend to switch hands a lot in CQB type environments so I've stopped using a sling on my CQB gun as they just tend to get in the way while hanging loose (though I must get a single point one to stow the gun out of the way when it's not needed). SA80 type sling is a godsend for playing outdoors where I don't need to switch hands as often... Of course, one reason I like AUGs so much is that they can take me dropping them, falling on them and knocking them about without undue fuss...

Hedganian Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) I don't swap hands - can't shoot a rifle left handed worth a damn. If it seems a good idea, I'll sometimes draw a sidearm with my left hand as well as my rifle, maybe sling or even discard my rifle to double-gun it with pistols. it has that extra cool-factor, after all. Try a rifle holster combined with your single-point to prevent the rifle from flapping around when you're not using it. EDIT: It's your eyes, mate. Sharky's gun is black.

heroshark Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Indeed its black, is kind of space age though especialy with the tracers going .I'm the same with the swaping hands, but I do use a 2nd strap I made on my kit to secure it sometimes as needed. Get to test mine on the 29th at fao embassy, can't wait Edited January 17, 2011 by heroshark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TerranCmdr Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I've been using a 3-point on my AUG ever since I've had it. Always worked perfectly for me. To each their own though. Nice work on your gun Heroshark, I just can't ever bring myself to like the phantom kit though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TerranCmdr Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) Alright, I couldn't help myself. This is my most common setup: With silencer: And a "sniper" setup: (too lazy to change over mag catch, but you get the idea ) There's a hole where my fake bolt should be because the stupid flimsy metal part that keeps that whole system together finally broke. Working on ordering a new one. After 7 years of use, it's a wonder it held up as long as it did. Only upgrades I'm running are a metal feed nozzle and an M130 spring. (9.6 batt of course) Edited January 20, 2011 by TerranCmdr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 That Imperial AUG is awesome. I'm unsure why you have to keep swapping parts over, though, didn't your second stock come with all the parts? I have a complete (I think) black stock sans gearbox if it'll be any good to you? Drop me a PM with an offer if you're interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TerranCmdr Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Haha, glad you guys like it. The masking I did for it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped but at a distance it looks decent. Hedge, PM sent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ivan le Fou Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 The length of the suppressor is good, but it is not large enough IMHO. You should try AACs. Plus on the small Aug it would add a more aggressive look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TerranCmdr Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 That would be cool. I was thinking something more like this though: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MotoSam Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) Sorry for picture quality, I used my camera phone. I just finished my carbine barrel, the barrel itself is available on evike, but the adaptor to fit it is an action silencer adapter. The silencer adapter was 1cm too long, to sit proud of the gas plug, I just hacksawed that much material off to match the existing barrel and cut a new notch for the grub screw to hold it in place. I still have to get a new flash hider as I only have an orange one at the moment. I installed a matrix 6.03 barrel, guarder hard hop and have a new spring and airseal nozzle to try and get 400 fps for local California limits. The gearbox on the AUG is pretty daunting looking, I am concerned about how difficult it is to install a mosfet as I have only looked at the outside of the gearbox.

Hedganian Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 You *HAVE* checked the Mosfet thread for a guide to fitting the things, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MotoSam Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I have fitted several mosfets in the past so don't need ant tips on that. I have received a helpful post however from a poster in the aug faq section as it is an aug I am specifically interested in. Thanks for your concern. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackisbad Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 My newest purchase: by the by, how hard/impossible do you guys think it would be to convert the stock to this: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) Almost completely impossible. And more to the point, why would you want to? Converting the receiver and barrel would be a much more attractive proposition. Edited May 20, 2011 by Hedganian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Adding captive nuts for rail mounting and adding stippled/rough panels? Thats a pretty big job tbh, youve got plenty of rails with that block of yours ,but to convert it into something similar youd first have to do away with your front ris. Then youd have to cut and lower the upper receiver and then fill in the area under the top rail Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackisbad Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I don't really care for the captive nuts to be sturdy/functional because, like you mentioned, I have plenty of rails and I can't imagine ever even filling the ones I have much less adding more. I guess I should have been more clear; I'm not trying to replicate the entire gun, just the stock. Mostly I'm after the stippled panels and the fact that it takes standard AR mags as I have a billion of them. I don't really care to replicate the receiver as I am quite happy with the receiver and rails I have now, so all I'm really after is replicating the stock. I just love that stock because, in my opinion, it just looks so aggressive and I think it would be the bee's knees combined with the beefiness of the rails I currently have. That plus AR mags makes it perfect for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Each to their own, I guess... If you flick back through this thread, you'll see at least two STANAG-converted AUGs, so that much at least is doable - I don't remember the usernames of the people who made them, sorry.

crackisbad Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Now that you mention it, I remember seeing those before as well. Maybe one of them is in the US and I can just have them do it for me as I am not all that great with body work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Here's a good start - not in the US though... Treadhead's STANAG AUG Conversion guide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackisbad Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 That's the one! Awesome thanks man! I guess I don't mind shipping just the body to Ireland if he is willing to do it. Of course "if" being the key word here. Thanks again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) Happy to help - that's what I'm here for. Well, me 'n' the FAQ thread... EDIT: Linked from Treadhead's guide is this American bloke's prior conversion: Sekiryu's AUG Conversion. EDIT 2: If you want to throw money at him and wait for some free time, Docv400 could *maybe* knock up a STANAG drop-in kit. If he can make a 9mm magazine adaptor from scratch for me, I'm sure he could make a STANAG magazine adaptor for you. (But don't tell him I told you to ask him! ) Edited May 21, 2011 by Hedganian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackisbad Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 lol, will do. I'll keep it on the DL. I saw Sekiryu's as well, but I prefer the attention to detail and stuff Treadhead did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
