hwagan Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 It's to showcase any Airsoft gun worth a thousand dollars or more; going on the fact AR15's are the most popular Airsoft gun by far, I don't see the problem with that being represented in the thread? It's not being hijacked by AR15 owners, it's just the biggest majority of airsofters own AR's.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TB-Stalker Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 So should the thread be named "$1k gun but no ARs"? Posting ARs is still better than just complaining about guns being posted though.... *snip* I am sure this has been posted before, but just to get back with pictures... About time, also, parts list please Quote Link to post Share on other sites
intinerious Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I get what you're saying, but this thread was simply made for anything that cost $1K. No. Well, I like the idea of this thread. I know the old one got out of hand though. Too many people nowadays with silly expensive optics, they can just bolt to a Bar10, and similar things. So I'd like to go ahead an impose a simple rule. If you can justify the amount you've spent on you gun, don't post it in here. I want to see gun's that have had unnecessary amounts of money splurged on them, for a marginal improvement in performance or ergonomics, or hey, just for plain good looks. But please, don't let one item account for more than 50% of the money spent on the entire gun. So no Desert Eagles with Trigicon sights on top. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I have this thing on my mouse called a scroll wheel. It's quite a new concept and it's not really become wide-spread amongst PC peripherals just yet, but some of you guys should consider investing in one. Saves the rest of us having to read your boring, child-like whinging about people posting things they are perfectly within their rights to post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

volante Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) I think this thread has to be more like the Pebble beach concours rather than expensive Fast and furious. Edited February 13, 2013 by volante Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RacingManiac Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I was planning to do it as a scratch built, but at the time some of the parts thats out now was not available as standalone so I still ended up getting a 5.1..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So confused, a 5.1? Maybe it's my eyes and I've been staring at excel documents for too long (accountancy yay!) but its looks like you have a 1911 mag fitted? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mimesis Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 It's a 4.3 mag, with the smaller base. When you want your hi-capa to have a little more of the 1911 feel, it's a good option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kenworth W900 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Wow, I think your GPMG build might be a bit too expensive for the $1k thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darkmikey22 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) yeah thats true enough lol. but shes still awsome! was thinking of entering her into your custom build thread! what do you think? Edited February 21, 2013 by Darkmikey22 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kenworth W900 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I think go for it. The more the merrier. The only extenuating consideration is whether or not this project was started before or after June 2012 - as that is the kind of cut off point for entries to be allowed into the contest. Anything started before then is somewhat regarded as an old project. I would love to see this particular build in the ACBC though, since it slots nicely into a category of custom build which I had hoped would be represented, stickler-for-detail builds. And your GPMG is truly a great example, there is a lot of time and effort invested in creating an authentic replica. Put it this way, you could fool a lot of active servicemen with that thing - I bet they'd never know until they came to fire it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anything started before then is somewhat regarded as an old project. unfortunatly it was started before. but in my defence tho, is that genuine british gpmg parts are not that easy to get hold of specialy the gas block, adjustable bipod etc as they are like gold dust!. so the fact its now parts complete, and the fact of how many parts have been changed can possibly show you how much work has been involved just to get the parts. so its up to you fella if it should still be entered.

Put it this way, you could fool a lot of active servicemen with that thing - I bet they'd never know until they came to fire it thank you!, its not often this beauty gets a compliment its has fooled a few already as even the correct weight has been applied too (25ib) so a heavy beast all i am stuck on now is how to paint it. do i 1, get it sprayed properly 2, get it cerakoted or 3, just spray paint it myself with normal spray paint?

Kenworth W900 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Well, how long ago are we talking? I guess I could extend the cut-off a bit if it were for a good cause, such as allowing your build to be entered. Although I don't want to open the flood gates. As for painting it, if its coming into the competition then cerakoted seems appropriate - it may garner you more votes if you do it properly. Thats if you want to win Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darkmikey22 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 i started collecting bits about march time, tho the main bulk didnt start till around the april/may time. so technically a month off your cut off, or was it june (nudge nudge wink wink) as for cerakote, i do like it but their shades of colours are a bit limited. so dont want to get it done and it look odd. as it needs to be mainly a satin black with 2/3 parts done a gloss black colour. But this may not be done for a few months as i will need to start saving for it as ive just had the qoute back!...... £360!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Definitely Cerakoted. Definitely. DEFINITELY. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Here is my VFC based Daytonagun MAG-K so, i thought i had only spend like $1200 on it, but i was so wrong. as it sits: Trade for base gun cost me (it was an AEG with an overhauled gearbox to begin with)- ~$675 (came with the grip, paint job, stock adaption, T-1, rail system and anything else i dont mention) Daytonagun kit - $475 TNK Guns Redline rig - $180 Ninja 90/4500 HPA tank - $190 (though, i got it for wholesale price) 4 extra beta project mags (4 working ones came with the gun) - ~$80 various ladder rail covers (some magpul, some falcon) - ~$20 45º rail mount for torch - ~$25 Walther torch - at most places ~$40 but you can get it for lwss than $10 at optics planet (not counted towards total) ECHO-1 QD torch mount - ~$25 (i use this to EDC the torch as it came with a rail mount for a belt, also not calculated towards total) Magpul PTS AAC M4-2000 suppressor & flash hider - $80 JBU QD sling mount for rails -$25 (best cheap one i have found. holds the weight of this 11lbs carbine perfectly fine. all steel but the base is not rust proof) Blue Force Gear Vickers sling - iirc $45 so thats $1885 and that does not include everything i bought for the gun, just what i have that attaches to it normally. thats way more than i expected to put into it. i just hope you guys like it. sorry if the pics dont work. ill fix them when i get home from work. im on an extremely slow machine right now.

Anyway, I've decided to let you enter the competition with your build, I'll just have to be more lenient with other similar entries, but no major harm done, provided the competition still inspires plenty of original designs.
