kenxin Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 You're also lacking the cable leading to the car battery that powered up the laser in the first terminator movie : P AWESOME stuff. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mobius Strip Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Thanks for the comments chaps, I've so wanted one for ages just a shame it took so long to get it done. To answer some of the questions, the AR-18 was a broken JAC external gas one that I modified and shoe horned a V2 AEG box into, took longer than the laser The laser is a replica that was made up at an enginering firm, it has a real modern laser inside with buckets of room to spare! I started to do the 3 piece threaded laser outer myself but thankfully the owner took my drawing from me after watching my painfully slow efforts and created what you see. The grip mount is the same as the one used on the film, I bead blasted the top section back to bare aluminium to look like the original. I've gamed with the AMT many a time, I'll have to get more mags for the AR and take them as a pair! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dagonet Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Nice attention to details Mobius. To think that cutting edge laser back then can now be crammed into a guide rod or small grip pod, how things have moved on (remembers the big old box lasers ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

intinerious Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Btw I just remembered that I heard from a source that 5KU, AIP and some other brand (sorry, don't remember, though I think some of you can guess...just think of the lower end brands that do CNC stuff?) all source from the same factory. Now, QC's a different story as there are differences between stuff like AIP and 5KU obviously, but since I know about this I might as well share it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AsianDraggon Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 It happened to start raining today, so I decided it was going to be a good day to take some pictures of my [Relatively] new gun. Business. Props. Just gripping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 i dont know what it is about that pistol, but i would REALLY like it if it had a 6 inch slide and a beavertail safety. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NonEx Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Wolf, I have to ask, considering how I did with my Kimber. How do you work on such a thing without scratching or damaging parts etc ? I mean, it must take 100 hours just doing 1 file move at a time I personally am not that devestated about the marks on my Kimber but it's kind of sad that it is not exactly in exhibition condition any longer.

wolfgeorge Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 It's too hard I must say! The biggest issue I encountered was the fitment of the sear pin! I wanted to use Nova ambi safety and had to mod the Nova pin in order to fit! There are a couple of marks... thankfully they are under the thump-safety! Also there's a mark on the frame from the Nova slide stop! Man when I saw this I was really angry! I spent hours of careful modding/ fitment and a rather expensive part causing me troubles! You can see the mark at the photo's! Wolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Ah yeh, I have similar marks on my Kimber but it's above the slide stop not below/under... Oh well Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can see the mark at the photo's! Wolf The nova slide stop (the non chrome ones) always rides too close to the frame , doing exactly that. It even does it on the PGC kits (and the finish on those is resilient...) Still, detonator aluminum is waffles.(that made me lol once I read it)...meaning it's very soft and easy to scratch.

wolfgeorge Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) Yes the Detonator 1911 are pretty easy to scratch.. I knew that when I bought it, but I will never use it for skirmish. I have and a XDM Detonator slide .. I'll see how easy is to scratch it then!

Lancaster Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Nice! But why you have Tactical-series trigger instead of 3-hole? Personal favor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfgeorge Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I like the 2 hole Kimber style ... I have plenty of 1911's with the 3 hole trigger. Here's a couple.. Prime Kimber Raptor Prime Kimber Raptor 2T Wolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
