Im going space Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) i made one a while back, it got turned into a bullpups thread for everything that didnt fit haha. and as fo my talk on microswitches i mean forgoing FETs totally and just wiring a switch directly into the gearbox im turning mine into a battle rifle anyways edit: and the selectors a PITA unless you're happy using your middle finger on the trigger, then your index is free to switch it about, but mines either on safe or semi so not really an issue, and its not exactly hard to use it one handed either.

Jibbity Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I'm going to take this over to that thread, then. If there are any mods that feel up to moving the previous posts in the discussion that way, have at it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bloodsword Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Lets get this to the first page.. Â JG Aug Phantom: Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fellowz Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 okay guys a few questions  ive been racking by brain for the last few weeks trying to figure out the best way to reproduce the most accurate looking A3 i can.  now i dont know which base gun to start from the TM Civi or the HC?  the reciever of the HC is more accurate but the front end is hideous. what do i need to do to get this or as close as possible to it? The top rail is the hardest part to replicate, and i have noticed the gas block?? the piece the grip attaches to is different to that on the Marui High Cycle? any thoughts?     Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jibbity Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 now i dont know which base gun to start from the TM Civi or the HC?   The barrel group should rotate and slide out the front just like the other AUGs and is therefore easily replaced.  The HC would likely be the easier starting point.

ED-SKaR Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 I think I am done working on this one: Â Â Â What is the RIS block you've used to replace the origonal grip. I've just picked up an aug with a broken front grip so I was planning on doing the same, but I can't find any RIS blocks like that. Â Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vice Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 DIrty AUG is dirty  TM HC base, KA phantom kit, JG barrel front end to mount it.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've just picked up an aug with a broken front grip so I was planning on doing the same, but I can't find any RIS blocks like that. Â Thanks. I machined it out of a PVC block. The one that comes with the TM HC AUG is pretty close, but I have no idea how you would source one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fellowz Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 had a slight brainwave earlier.  would this rail be the closest thing to the A3 upper rail? it looks like an easy mod to fit to a HC but then i need the Civi barrel/gas block set so in essence i need 2 Augs to make something that looks as close to an A3 as possible  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jibbity Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Awww....  ...  ...Make me one.  Seriously nice work though, I really want it  If I could CNC them, this would be a possibility. I had to manualy mill mine and it is just not cost effective for me to produce them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Someone on here made it about 2-3 years back and I re-posted his pictures on this thread.  I'd say start with a regular AUG and mod the upper with a G36 C rail, hacksaw, putty/epoxy, some screws and paint.

Fellowz Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 i have sourced an AUG A2 i just need to see if i can buy a HC receiver then mill a rail if i can get the correct measurements Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 TM's AUG High Cycle *IS* an A3. It's the AUG A3 XS 9mm without the 9mm magazine adaptor.  As seen here:   As you can see, there aren't many external differences between the receivers and barrels of the A3 9mm XS and the standard A3:   Just a squared-off rail instead of the curved front, a shorter barrel, completely different gas block (because the 9mm version uses a different system than the 5.56mm) and a different foregrip rail.  Converting a TM AUG HC to look more like the 5.56mm A3 shouldn't be hard at all. The rail you linked to earlier seems like a good place to start. Me, I'm still waiting for someone to bring out the A3 SF:   That's beauty, right there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fellowz Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 See the AUG FAQ thread linked in my Sig for some information on barrel options (it's in some of the earlier posts) as well as all manner of other information (although you have to wade through some dross to get it, since I can't delete the useless posts). Â It seems there are quite a few more options available for the AUG these days, so some of the information in the FAQ thread might be in need of updating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fellowz Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) Sorry about the dead links. Â It doesn't really matter what length is pictured, so just get whatever length you want/like best/suits your style of play. Â The standard lengths for the A1/A2 are in the FAQ thread. Â If you were serious about having access to CNC machines and suchlike, you could do brisk business making airsoft parts, especially for hard to source items or weak parts like replacement pins for the AUG foregrip, rails to replace the foregrip with, metal cocking handles for the G36, steel cocking handle for the M249, etc, etc... Â There's more than a few things on my wishlist, but unfortunately funds make getting any new items pretty much impossible for the foreseeable future. Â Speak to Doc if you need more help or information about making custom parts and things like that. He knocked up a completely custom barrel, silencer and magazine adaptor for my AUG 9mm project, so he should be able to answer many of the questions you might have.

Fellowz Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) 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.

Hedganian Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 You just pretty much said you've got a license to print money in the airsoft world.... Â The hard part would be getting the correct specs for things, though. Especially in the UK, most of the things we're talking about are illegal for private ownership and hideously expense otherwise. You could have some luck searching in America for someone with access to the parts or specs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jibbity Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 On the subject of the AUG High Cycle, does anyone know if the upper is made of the same crappy pot metal as the older models? Also, is it still the same 3 piece outer barrel set up, just shorter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Since pretty much everything TM ever produced is made of "Marui's Monkey Metal" or Triple-M for short, I assume the AUG HC is no exception. I can't imagine that they'd have changed the internal barrel design, just made a new gas block and barrel for it. But I don't actually have one, so can't say for certain.

Fellowz Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
