Pkekyo-Nor Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Decided to finally make a side-saddle shell holder for my DE M3 Super 90 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) 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.) its overcontrasted on purpose next up, my redwolf upgraded maruzen M1100 - 400 fps of semi-auto jamming goodness! ive nod done anything to this, except add a cheekpad, sling and a foregrip shell holder (not shown) with my vest and finally, the two together, action to the rear, with a shell resting in/on the breeches. cos i could! i like 'em, anyway! shmook edit: for mild stupidity Edited March 3, 2009 by shmook Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhino Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 that's a nice job on the fake barrel extension bud. Get yourself some flat black and you'll be laughing. cheers! im off out to find some this weekend. any recommendations? especially for painting copper... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhino Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 it is, cheers. might have to replace the copper then... gladly not a big job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhino Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 if you go somewhere like B&Q or a plumbing supplies, you can get aluminium tubing already painted black (would save you a fortune in paint too ) my 2 cents Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 good plan, saves me stealing it from work and then buying paint! thanks bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jin15 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Man I just noticed there's one like it on the previous page Anyways try and Guess my inspiration Duke Nukem 3D? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhino Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 or how about Rutger Hauer's shottie in Wanted: Dead or Alive (only way you could do that justice to Duke Nukem is if the barrel and mag were longer and there was a heatshield on it ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lewis_Hodgson Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 except thats a shorty M104 No I think its still an M3, it just has a M1014 stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris North Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Nope, it's got the handguard that slides over the receiver and the different shaped receiver with a rail. I've always been a bit put-off by the handguard's cocking action, but they do look nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
