Hedganian Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) Donut - I'm sure we'd all appreciate a how-to guide to that 9mm mag conversion, with pics and so on. I don't think anyone makes the AUG 9mm vented barrel, though, much less the gas port-less foregrip block (obviously, the AUG 9mm carbine doesn't have the same gas parts as the 5.56mm assault rifle as it works on completely different principles). AUG 9mm The Real Steel AUG 9mm Carbine looks like this: That being the A2 version, judging from the cocking handle. The slightly wider part of the barrel, just in front of the foregrip block seems to be threaded, presumably for a silencer. The upper part of the barrel itself seems to be vented in a recoil-compensator affair. Edited January 31, 2008 by Hedganian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'll post up a guide soon. Well, finally got the thing to feed right (I hope) I am debating if I should do the details, mostly the barrel, since I want it to also go back to the 5.56 version. I guess I'll have to see what the consensus of the board is, since I'm doing this mainly to sell it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xsjado Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 My AUG is nearly finished now. CobaltSky seemed to have some interesting ideas a few pages back so I might be nicking those if its OK with him The battery pack was a pain to fit. Wasn't quite big enough for a 9.6V large so I had to make some modifications involving super glue. Awesome ROF now. Comparison to M14 I'm just waiting on a new scope and foregrip.

Victory Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Wow, that is quite a nice AUG...likin' the battery pouch/cheek rest!! Also, Donut, what red dot is that? I've been looking for just the one. -Vic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rugrat Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 nice battery pouch, is it homemade? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I'll have to see what the consensus of the board is, since I'm doing this mainly to sell it That's the point of having more barrels - makes changing from one option to the other a simple matter. If you can get it looking right for the 9mm version, I'll buy it. The carbine is the hardest part of Project AUG, so this would be an excellent opportunity for me to complete the collection...

Xsjado Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 nice battery pouch, is it homemade? Nope. Its from ehobby asia here. I was just browsing around and it looked like an excellent way of shoehorning a massive battery onto an AUG without a battery sling. I dimensioned it using photoshop but it wasn't quite as big as I thought, hence the modifications required, an 8.4V large would be a prefect fit though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

doopydoo Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Got a homemade m203(which is what the duct tape is for), ultrafire flashlight, 2x red dot(don't know brand) which seems like 1.5 or so actually, it's got a wide angled lens. I took off the grip because it was weak, I never used it, and it got in the way of the flashlight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xsjado Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Scope looks like its modelled after the low magnification tasco sights like this sort of thing. Which is what I'm getting soon as I think the rail hugging look works better on an AUG than a normal scope with mount rings. I'm also going to be removing my grip because it wobbles too much for my liking, but I'm going to replace it with a barrel mounted grippod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Victory Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Doopy: AUG...pretty nice setup there. Really like the scope/flashlight combo. The grenade launcher just doesn't do it for me, though. -Vic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Donut Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Did you run out of paint before you got to the foregrip? lol, nay, I just decided to keep the carbine one black instead And btw, the AUG package is for sale now *wink* Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hedganian Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) Donut: That barrel looks halfway right, actually. Any chance of added the compensator vents to the top of the barrel, and the threads for what I assume is an optional silencer to the rearward section of the barrel? Or is that too fiddly? What FPS do you get out of it, and what length inner barrel did you use for the 9mm version? Please post up a complete guide to how you did it. Posted in the sale thread. I really can't afford this now, but... Curse you. Edited February 7, 2008 by Hedganian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I really can't afford this now, but... Curse you. Hehe, well, I'll need some more pictures about the vents, but weren't the vents removed from the newer versions of the kit? And I might add threads, or I'd have to make a custom silencer for it. FPS is about 1 joule or so, it was shooting hotter at around 350 before with the full barrel, but after I cut it down it seemed to have mellowed down a bit. And yes, it was cut down, but I think it's around a M4 length barrel? I'll have to check once I get home. And yes, I'll work on a guide soon. Actually, I'm thinking of making another one, and doing a step by step guide of that, except this time, I'll try to make this a straight drop in kit, so I won't need to sell entire AUG's.
