Bodgeups Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 My APS-2 Covered in 2 rolls of camo tape, although I took the phot before I skirmished the rifle. It's nice and weathered now. Link to post Share on other sites

Thats why you want to push your rifle foward while shooting. It results in a more stable shot. Its not preference, its proper technique. At least in the real world. doesnt matter in as really ...

TBH i dont know *fruitcage* all about real steal shooting, never have done, and wont be shooting a real gun till next november. like you said, it doesnt matter as it is airsoft.

blueprint Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Stage 1 of the ‘cosmetic’ upgrade. Waiting on a new butt stock cover as my mossy oak one didn’t fit. Also going to order a suppressor at the weekend from redwolf. I will also touch up and make the camo tape neater especially around the scope. I know its not very impressive but its my first gun and im just experimenting with it. Link to post Share on other sites

angelmaker Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 So are you just sanding it down and adding texture and a cheek rest or what? Link to post Share on other sites
violent_assassin Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 No mate, the stock doesnt look like that origanaly. Check another vsr out. Link to post Share on other sites
jack10 Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 basically he is saving himself loads of money and it will look kick *albatross*! looking good so far, maybe bulk it up a bit around the handle bit (can't remember the word) Link to post Share on other sites

paradigmsk8er Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 erm..not being a tool or anything..but that looks nothing like an mcm a4. not saying it looks bad. just nothing like an a4 Link to post Share on other sites
axl Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 He said in another thread he wasn't finished with it yet... But it's skirmishable for the time being until he can finish it off. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
violent_assassin Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Cheers for clearing that up for me buddy. Yep will finish it off in the new year. But for now, its skirmishable. Saying it looks nothing like it is a bit harsh seeing as i have spent alot of time creating the shape. I can see my mistakes, and they will be corrected. Seem's like people only see the bad stuff on arnies and not the effort to at acomplish somthing. I have seen at tops, two attemps to modify a vsr stock to replicate an mcmillans 40 stock and no one has done it this way. Just anothg pic to show the comparison Link to post Share on other sites
axl Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 No worries mate. It's definitely coming along too. I think you've almost persuaded me to do the same with my aps2 stock. Although it'll be more work as it's not as close to the m40a3 stock as the vsr one is. Mostly the butt of the stock that's going to be trouble in that sense though. Oh and are you going to get one of the adjustable cheek pieces to top it off? I'm interested to see how it turns out. Keep us posted Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Dustie Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Hi Gents Hope this is a good as any place to request a few pics of a shorten M700. I have a Tanaka M700 PCS but would like to get it looking more like a TM G-Spec. I was thinking of the G&G short barrel, but how much shorter is it? Any help & pics would be very grateful.

paradigmsk8er Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I'm not saying it looks bad. but it doesn't look anything like an a4, I don't see a crime in pointing that out. if you post on an open internet forum, wouldnt you expect some criticism? a4s have a hefty palmswell on the grip, with a slight curve. Theyre also very flat on the sides at the rear of the stock. I'm not sure if you've ever handled one, I'm just going from experience that they are contoured much differently than that. thats it. here for a bit of clarification: actual picture of the USMC order: Link to post Share on other sites

Senor Bear Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Myself at the Combat South Woodland christmas special today. As you can see the webtex vest is not all that good for winter leaves or foliage as a lot of the surface area cannot be camouflaged as well. See what you think. Edit: the gspec rifle sleeve seems to be working much more effectively than I first thought. Link to post Share on other sites
thewallhitme Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 thats why i added some hessian (when i say hessian i mean... a lot). which reminds me i have to get some pictures of that damn ghillie suit. Link to post Share on other sites

The Bushman Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I tidied the thread to keep it more civil and on the topic of pictures. Speaking of which; Senor Bear and Andy 2 Cool... nice job. Hope you were more successfull than me Interesting to see the scrim over your front lens, yet the large objective lens is still one of the few things that draws the eye and gives you away. That is why I use my 20mm lens more these days. I use tape on the extreme muzzle of the rifle, in case the camo is pulled back (like on your rifle). I don't use my webtex in this season, as I agree with you, there is not enough foliage to add to it effectively. Dead leaves are not good and are often noisey too (if dry). I go back to a traditional ghillie in winter. Here's a fellow hunter with a webtex out of season: Good Hunting Link to post Share on other sites
