Finius Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 It's been a long time since I've posted anything in the way of pictures of my own guns, and the offering I'm about to present you with is nothing in comparison to some of the guns you've all built yourselves, but I'm still proud of it!

pforcerecon Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 wow...very interesting Finius. Do you plan on making the RIS to equal length, or is that the final outcome for you? Link to post Share on other sites
Skipper Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Full length inner barrel? Link to post Share on other sites
Finius Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Well, what I've got going on is a "keep it cheap" regime. The setup pictured has a full length inner barrel, but thanks to the beauty that is ICS' split gearbox, I have also got a lower fps gearbox, and a smaller barrel with it's own hop so I can unscrew the top half of the outer barrel and simply place on a flashider, slot in the other parts and then I've got myself a CQB rifle. Really it's because I don't fancy buying two seperate guns when one will suffice. Other than that, I'm finished, I certainly don't intend on extending the RIS, I kind of like it how it is; makes the fun look alot longer than it really is! Link to post Share on other sites
Doughguy Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 at that lenght, with no propper reinforcement, id be worried about the barrel snapping at the base if you should bang in some walls or so. Link to post Share on other sites
Skipper Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) Modular, I like it at that lenght, with no propper reinforcement, id be worried about the barrel snapping at the base if you should bang in some walls or so. A gas block at the end of the RIS could give it some support. Edited April 6, 2009 by Skipper Link to post Share on other sites

Finius Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 at that lenght, with no propper reinforcement, id be worried about the barrel snapping at the base if you should bang in some walls or so. I can see why you would worry, to be honest I hadn't thought about it; it's fairly solid as it is, as well as being an outdoor only gun at that length, I've thought about a gas block though, the front ironsight seems too far forward and I fancy something I can flip out of the way if needs be We'll have to see, but it's mostly there by now Link to post Share on other sites
navymp28 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Finius why do you have a small rail on that full barrel gun? Link to post Share on other sites

Basically, the above To keep it cheap and to be able to switch between a CQB and a full length relatively painlessly Edited April 6, 2009 by Finius Link to post Share on other sites
Roecar Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 If budget is your worry at least get the 16" RAS from Madbull for like $100 or even less used from forums. Not to be mean but it just looks stupid with a front sight that far up without something behind it. Link to post Share on other sites
Finius Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) Matter of opinion there matey! I'm saving up for uni $100 is too much for me right now, maybe in September, but even so, I like it how it is, the front sight might be coming off in future anyway, if I can source an ACM RIS front sight (when I actually have money and feel a bit less lazy). Besides, you think that thing looks fugly, you shoulda seen my AK Spetz with the M249 outer barrel... Edited April 6, 2009 by Finius Link to post Share on other sites

Finius Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) Since this is a Armalite thread, I won't post a picture, but HERE is a link to a picture EDIT: Oh and HERE is a picture of it without the UGL...It's long since been sold unfortunately I'll try and get some pictures of my Armalite in its short configuration after my day out tomorrow!

Skipper Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Oh and HERE is a picture of it without the UGL To be honest that barrel doesn’t look out of place on there. But anyway back to the Armalite’s, does anyone make a copy of the RIS on the AR-15 E3? Link to post Share on other sites
rws591 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Nope, I get to be unique for now. Link to post Share on other sites

But anyway back to the Armalite's, does anyone make a copy of the RIS on the AR-15 E3? ............................................ Yes. But I'd like to stay unique too. Here's my review of the G&P version: http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...howtopic=161304 VFC also has a version, with upper reciever for about $250. Both sets are very pricy. BTW: RWS' gun is an SR-15 E3 IWS, the rail is known as a midlength URX III for the long version, and a carbine length URX II for the short version.

For the looks it just bothers me since I'm studying to be a designer. Empty space between the two is eating me up... But you are off to a fine start... again my apologies.

Whan Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Yep, I think Ebaybanned stopped production of their URX III midlength for some reason, and only have the shorty carbine version. Lucky for us guys so we don't have to regret our purchases Link to post Share on other sites
