Breathe Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Bit off topic but I've (rightly or wrongly) associated LRBs with having really good range. Is that specific to the design/function or is it a case of joule creep? Velocity is as solid as a rock with classic guns. http://gordakairsoft.tripod.com/lrb/lrb.htm And just so theres pictues in the thread. Heres another of the DG M249 Link to post Share on other sites
Korppi Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Bit off topic but I've (rightly or wrongly) associated LRBs with having really good range. Is that specific to the design/function or is it a case of joule creep? Nothing to do with joule creep though naturally one can reach further with a hot gun and heavy bb. As my previous message implied, the backspin created by the LRB is much more forceful than one in a rubber hopped gun. So with the right bb weight and properly cut barrel for the specific weight with right barrel weight and barrel spring will provide a flat trajectory all the way up to 80+m. Here's how the bv system works. As for a physics lesson about it, ask someone else. All I can say that one doesn't hit a golf ball with a bat for a reason. Link to post Share on other sites

Andyjp Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Just finished up the final touches (for now) on my South African MAG 58 build this past week, so I figured I'd post it up! I've long enjoyed reading about the Border war, so I figured it was time to add a MAG to my collection. Major thanks to Brigg for his awesome work on the charging handle. Super pleased with how it turned out. Link to post Share on other sites
KingPandaswe Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Nice MAG ! what brand is it ? Link to post Share on other sites
Andyjp Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Thanks mate! Base gun is an ACM M240, with a South African MAG 58 wood stock, US surplus M240 bipod, Ohio Ordnance MAG 58 flash hider, custom charging handle (thanks again to Brigg, he's the bomb!), SADF Pattern 70 sling, and box mags shoehorned into SDF Pattern 70 kidney pouches. Not 100% authentic with the kidney pouches for box mags, but it looks the part, and it seems they primarily used belts as opposed to box mags during the border war. Internals are still being built up. Link to post Share on other sites
KingPandaswe Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Allright, was it a PITA to get the wood stock to fit ? Link to post Share on other sites
Andyjp Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Nothing too terrible. A good bit of filing, some high strength adhesive, and some screws. Getting the stock latch to stay put was a bit of a struggle though! Link to post Share on other sites

Pkekyo-Nor Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Some would argue that I've started my FN Minimi build in the wrong end entirely.But if it's wrong... Why does it feel so right? Link to post Share on other sites
Breathe Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I think that chainsaw needs a GIANT flashlight on the side. Link to post Share on other sites
EOL Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 well its got a G&P DBAL on the side ATM Link to post Share on other sites
Pkekyo-Nor Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 This one's a short lived addition to the collection.I received it on Saturday, and it was in so rough of a shape, it put me off the project entirely. I decided I was going to sell it less than five minutes later.The entire barrel, trunnion and bipod had to be replaced.At least it's now in a decent state to be sold off... so I decided to send it off with a brand new paintjob.

ardrummer292 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Just putzing about with the Minimi this past weekend. The real M249 bipod on it is just fantastic. I can't imagine how I got on without it before. Link to post Share on other sites
CatgutViolin Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Over the past week I've been making an AGM MG42 skirmishable and converting it to a Yugo M53, a post-war derivative of the MG42, partly because I like the black furniture, partly because a gun still used by insurgents and militias appeals to me more than one relegated to the history books, and partly just to justify putting a scope on it.

Dare to ask the weight of it? And which gearbox? Link to post Share on other sites
CatgutViolin Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Dare to ask the weight of it? And which gearbox? In stock form, sans scope, a very manageable 15.2lbs (6.9kg). The gearbox is a unique split upper/lower design with a mix of proprietary and V2 parts, you can see more about it here. Link to post Share on other sites
