AustinWolv Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 yep that was one part of what i meant and i meant did you unscrew off the body of teh L96 before you painted it or did you paint it while the whole gun was all connected and could you give me the web site you got the stencil from? The gun was assembled when I painted it. Just masked off all the moving parts with tape. Used this picture for the stencil: http://www.battlefront.com/resources/poc/_...ll/britain2.jpg I also hand-drew a few more of the "splotch" shapes by looking at Brit DPM BDUs that I have. Hope that helps. Link to post Share on other sites
AustinWolv Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Zip-ties on trigger guards? Is that for chrono check proof at skirmishes? Just curious since we've used that as compliance signal before. Link to post Share on other sites

enzo100 Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 how's the Crimebuster whitedingo? Beautiful looking rifle...gotta love the classics Link to post Share on other sites
Whitedingo Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Jessica (my crimebuster), when she was working properly, was one heck of a rifle. At the moment, somethings a bit wrong on the inside, but should be corrected shortly. Oh, btw, I'm in the process of converting her to a 20" barrel (full M16 length, as opposed to the "mid" length that she is now). Link to post Share on other sites
HawaiiIceMan Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 how much you spent to build her??? Link to post Share on other sites
Whitedingo Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 I believe initial cost for the rifle was $525, I put another $180 into the bipod and scope, and am laying down another $80ish for the conversion to full length, excluding the inner barrel (going to cost around $100 for that).

Matthais_31 Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 lol for some reason there seems to be a distinct lack of APS's in this thread...they used to be all over the place!! Anywho, ill add mine up Matthais_31 Link to post Share on other sites
Crandall Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Any internal upgrades Matthis? Looks good Link to post Share on other sites
Matthais_31 Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Yeah it has. It was upgraded to take 500fps reliably by zero one, then its got reinforced cocking handle, TN barrel, custom adjustable hop-up (as its an SV), barrel spacers and a silencer (which isnt in the pic for some reason..!) It doesnt look to flash but it certainly gets the job done. At least it did before the limits changed! Thinking about getting a bipod for it, but debating the idea.

Crandall Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 I think a unflashy exterior on a gun can play to your advantage if your a sniper, people won't think it will be able to reach them until they get hit. I really like it a lot, good job! Link to post Share on other sites
