Reincarnation... Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Awesome job Dobey. Hopefully camo-ing skill are awesome when/if you choose to camo. Really, Dobey, how many times did you hit youtube video of the Future Weapon with the CheyTac M200 ? Link to post Share on other sites
Belladonna Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 hopefully none.... as future weapons is reliable as a hooker's bank statement. Looking good Chad, muchos win Link to post Share on other sites
scar527 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 LOLs nice one bella. WOw is that gun HOT!!! I am assuming that you are going with a desert paint job?(correct me if im wrong) but WOW! great job! Link to post Share on other sites
Reincarnation... Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 hopefully none.... as future weapons is reliable as a hooker's bank statement. Never say it was reliable; just another "resource" of the M200. Seriously think about making kits for it; definitely will purchase one if able to. Link to post Share on other sites
dobey Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 hopefully none.... as future weapons is reliable as a hooker's bank statement. You always make me LOL The biggest pain in the rear for this project was the fact that CheyTac seems to have revised the design at least 7 times since 2001 so all the M200's are a little bit different. I have been just picking and choosing the features I like best and mashing them all into one for my gun. Link to post Share on other sites
scar527 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 How are you going to paint it(if you are)?? Link to post Share on other sites
pforcerecon Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 this is looking truly awesome dobey..can't wait to see how the big a## silencer comes out added onto it. Link to post Share on other sites
dobey Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I was going to powder coat it but this means no fancy paint scheme. I think I may do a desert/sage grass patterned paint job. The color is irrelevant for game play because I will use a burlap wrap for it anyways. Link to post Share on other sites
clandestine Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 dobey the more i look at your work, the more i want one! great job! Link to post Share on other sites
dobey Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I have about 70 hours in this now. I did forget to do the ratchet system for the stock so I will need to go back and do that but here is a shot of all the pieces (except the bolt handle and mono pod which were still drying). I am also still designing the BB feeding system but this is pretty much finished now. The guys at Evike.com are donating a PSG1 grip for the build so I want to say thanks guys, you are awesome! I have had a huge amount of interest in making a body kit and let me say if I can do it at a low enough cost I will, it will probably be for the VSR/BAR 10 if I do it. Anyway here is a shot of most of the pieces with the OD base coat (I will be doing a sage/desert grass style paint job). Link to post Share on other sites

dobey Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Here are some close ups of the lower receiver as I assembled it, the paint is Rustolium camo series green, the flash is washing it out some. This is just the base coat. Grip fits nice and snug: More to come in a few minutes. Link to post Share on other sites
dobey Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 The M24 in its new state: Upper receiver on: Fore grip collar: Carry handle: Nice and centered, and totally free floating: The mono pod fully extended: Fully retracted: And folded away: Link to post Share on other sites

scar527 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Wow. Can't wait to see some action pics! So how is that gas bolt? And also have you sorted out how you are getting the mag to fit in? Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Very impressive. One small comment, I'd suggest switching the Phillips and slotted head screws with torx or hex head screws. Torx and hex head screws just look more professional IMHO. Regardless this is coming along nicely. Approximately how much would you say you have invested in it so far in time and materials?

uscmCorps Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 he said about 70 hours above. Yeah, I saw that before posting. I was more curious in a monetary amount. Especially in terms of materials cost combined with his perception of his hourly rate (as a machinist). Link to post Share on other sites
