Wastelander- a gas-operated, semi-auto APS shell shotgun feeding from Saiga magazines, and with interchangeable barrel length. Full build log here.      

Couldn't be happier right now.

Build log is over in Project Suggestions if anyone's interested.

right, these are my boomsticks!

 

please excuse the phone camera pics, my girlfriend 'borrowed' my camera. i no longer have my camera.

 

anywho, first is my gas ACM M500

 

originally,

i then took off the stock, and made a ghetto wooden pistol grip for this, to go in my home-made molle shotgun scabbard (cant find pics of the gun with grip on, but the scabbard is here

it was ace like this, but i really have a thing for long shotguns, so i put the full stock back on, and modded a fake shell tube extension for it

i just drilled and tapped the end cap, screwed a 'stub' on (rounded off M10 nut), and friction-fitted a piece of electrical condiut on this, and then slid a piece of 22mm copper pipe on, held inside with silicon! (not bad for 20 minutes' work)

 

i then painted it

using hammerite satin black aerosol. its not a match, but its all i have in right now.

 

the paint gives a nice plastic-feeling finish, but scratches off too easily. even with a finger nail. i guess it needs primng, even though i was told in halfords it doesnt! (i did degrease and abrade the copper, to no avail...)

 

you can see the colour difference here

i used a 22mm copper protecting endcap for the, err, endcap

 

its solid as a rock, just let down by the paint.

 

here it is resting on my CIRAS (the shells are for my following maruzen.)

next up, my redwolf upgraded maruzen M1100 - 400 fps of semi-auto jamming goodness!

with my vest

that's a nice job on the fake barrel extension bud. Get yourself some flat black and you'll be laughing.

@ Pkekyo-nor: Is that side saddle one of the elastic loop ones? Been thinking of making one myself when i get the chance

hmmm.... copper can be a buggar to paint at the best of times. When i painted aluminium tubing i used three coats of primer and then 2 coats of flat Humbrol black and finished off with a light coating of clear paint. I just used to pick them up from either my local DIY shop or model centre. Hope that's of some help :)
