Reincarnation... Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) Also, should I stipple the middle as well? In my humble opinion, yes. But don't listen to me, I want to place an EoTech on a PPSH41 Edited December 6, 2009 by Reincarnation... Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 ^LOL. BTW I'm gonna pwn your XTM's when they get here as well XD. Billy Bob, like this? Link to post Share on other sites

aznriptide859 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 I'm guessing you flattened the end of your tip to get that? I actually tried to get a flat l-shaped end, then ending up used it at a diagonal angle lol. Link to post Share on other sites

Whan Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 What is the purpose behind the Redi-mod? Largely weight savings, for the Redi-mod style cut. However, the Real Redimod has a slightly different release system. Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Am there tutorial for this? Not really. I can show you my soldering tip, but besides that, it's almost all random. The pressure/timing at which you do each "melt" does affect how "rough" your plastic becomes, i.e. fast/light is thin, while long/hard is rough. Ok the last part of that analogy may lead to...alternate understandings XD. Link to post Share on other sites

somegirls Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 BillyBob's look like the use a dremel or other small drilling machine. Link to post Share on other sites
Billy Bob the Sniper Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Nope, just used the round end on the soldering iron. Link to post Share on other sites
-=OGGY=- Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Personally I think the round/flat end looks 100% better. The sharp one makes everything look fuzzy IMO. Link to post Share on other sites

aznriptide859 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Iono I kind of like randomness, especially in this situation Redid the middle on all my XTM's, look a lot better now. Sort of basing this off Molsen's AR from the LaRue AR15.com thread. Link to post Share on other sites
reaper16 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 What is the purpose behind the Redi-mod? Some really nice blasters on this page. Weight reduction, its been discussed many times. Altho In RS the mag goes all the way to the top, in airsoft not so much. Link to post Share on other sites

Mental Medic Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Grr RM, your weapons always puts other to shame XD. Finally adjusted AoE for my GB today, so was able to put it back together. Got a buffer tube lipo as well, and since the WA M4 tube is almost completely hollow, it fit in without a hitch. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a1/aznrip...BR/IMG_0427.jpg[/img] Could even close the cap at the end XD. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a1/aznrip...BR/IMG_0428.jpg[/img] Bad inside pic. My DSLR hates indoor/yellow lighting http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a1/aznrip...BR/IMG_0429.jpg[/img] Well, well. Looks like I was right about the lipo space. Good to see someone used my advise Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Well, well. Looks like I was right about the lipo space.
