blackopssniper92 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 People like you are make it harder for nood to post threads like is wish some one made M200. Now they are going have to think of some new gun. But honestly that is awsome work. Link to post Share on other sites
dobey Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 loving this, about to start one myself... damn you! Great! Sometimes I tend do do things the hard way and always look forward to seeing other custom builds as it gives a fresh perspective. I especially liked your AW 50 build because I had done it as well, and so I got to see how someone else would do it. I look forward to seeing how you tackle the CheyTac.

Belladonna Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 i shall then granted ill use plastic, as i just CANT heave a gorrom huge lump of metal around Link to post Share on other sites
pforcerecon Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 hey dobey, your making the silencer also to go with this baby right? Link to post Share on other sites
dobey Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Yeah I will probably make the silencer as I have some extra tube laying around. And as far as plastic is concerned I think it takes as much if not more skill to make anything from it, metal is easy with the right tools but if I try anything with plastic I end up gluing all my fingers together.

dobey Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Working on the trigger guard area today. It started out as a scrap piece of aluminum I had in the shop: A little chopping and milling later: Then some more milling for the grip mount, I will be using any standard M16 variant grip for this: A little hole for the trigger and mechanism to fit: Here it is sitting on the lower receiver, I need to make the mounting holes next: And with a standard M16 grip mounted (in this case a CA M4 grip) I am looking for just the right grip.

my_plague_666 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 i'd like to have one for my SR-25 you do realise that chey-tacs are bolties right. you cant turn a select fire rifle into a boltie. Link to post Share on other sites
dobey Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Heh you can do anything you want if you have enough money. It is starting to look like something now: On to the Stock next I think. Link to post Share on other sites
silent_soul Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 do you have the full edition of the digital calipers? i have the trial and didnt know if the full version was worth the 30 dollars, and do you have any ideas for the reciever, i mean making it shorter to closer resemble the real thing? i thought about extending the bolt handle back, and having the reciever go farther back and completely cover the housing. or maybe build another trigger and have that push the real trigger with the real trigger hidden above the grip. just thoughts, but it looks amazing never the less. i should be picking up my 3 in 1 mill within the month and starting various projects this one included shortly there after.

dobey Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I have the full version but I never used the trial so I am not sure what the difference is. I know I use it every day so it is worth it to me. It is right at 4.5 lbs (2.04 Kg) so far in these pictures (what you see in the pics). With the rest of the stock, scope bipod, magazine, rear mono pod etc to go I am guessing it will come in around 8 to 10 pounds (3.6 to 4.5 Kg). Did some work on the stock, I was hoping to have it done today (the stock) but the trigger guard and grip section took longer than I thought. I have more to do here, notch one rod and make the release button but it is a start: It is really starting to look like something now: Link to post Share on other sites
ilikeshootingstuff Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Thank you for doing what I failed to do =] Cheytac ftw! Link to post Share on other sites
scar527 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I must ask, how are you gonna get the magazines in there? Or is it just going to be a prop?(i hope not as thet thing is BA Link to post Share on other sites
dobey Posted September 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I am going to machine a fitting that mounts in the barrel where the stock magazine fed in and run a hose back to the real steel's magazine location where it can be fed by a regular airsoft magazine that will be hidden inside the CheyTac Mag.

silent_soul Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 so would it be like a high cap? since you would have to fill the tube before it even feeds the gun. Link to post Share on other sites
Belladonna Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 considered a 30 round aep mag with feed lips modded Dobey? im not sure where the m24 feeds from, but im using that method to hide a mag Link to post Share on other sites

chas Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 When you look back at what you have made in 3-4 days and considering it will take a lot less once you know exactly how to build one of these, is it safe to say you could be able to build 1-2 kits a week if you decided to sell them? You should really look into it and make some numbers... Link to post Share on other sites
dobey Posted September 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I had a nice chat this morning with Belladonna and she was a great help (only after she made me admit the obvious superiority of the UK over the US ). She helped me work out how the stock release switch worked among other things, very bright girl, thanks again Bella. After my chat with her I tossed out my original slide blocks for the stock and remade them larger and a bit lower to accommodate for the lever that locks it in position as well as keeping it from being pulled off the gun. Here is a shot of the new blocks all mounted up, time to work on the lever. The scope arrived today as well, it is a NCStar 4-16x50 Mark III, pics: Here is a little step by step for all those interested: I start out with a block of aluminum as close in size as I can find from the scrap bin, mark it up where I want to remove metal and take larger pieces off with the chop saw first, be very careful cutting metal on this type of saw, I would prefer using a band saw but mine needs a new blade: Chopped to rough shape: Then to the mill to clean it up: To the drill press to do some holes: And then test to make sure I got the spacing correct: I have some more to do to this to mount it up but that is basically what it takes.

dobey Posted September 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Here we are at the end of day 7. Most of the hard stuff is roughed out and I can start to get into the detail work now: Link to post Share on other sites
blackopssniper92 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Looks nice but i don't find the scope very well. I don't like the high ring and the slanted front. but that is just me being picky. this is a awsome build. and you have some mad skill on a mill Link to post Share on other sites
