Erik_MAA Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Ever since the last season of the Sopranos wrapped up, I've been thinking of building a replica of the "AR-10" that Bobby gave Tony just before he was killed. Looking at some screencaps, I'm noticing that the prop was probably not a real AR10, but an AR15 with a modified "AR-10" style magazine. You can see the oddity of the mags in more than one of these shots. I also noticed in a later shot, at the safehouse, the foregrip has been removed and rail protectors put in its place: Parts list so far: Base gun 24" Outer barrel Carbine-length gas tube with low-profile gas block (to fit beneath the RIS) Rifle-length RIS system Phantom flash hider Front and rear DPMS Mangonel Sights Rail protectors Harris bipod adapter Vltor crane stock Aimpoint w/cantilever mount SPR pistol grip Based on these pics, I'm thinking I might do my build with an AR15 base instead. The added benefit is I already have plenty of short AR15 mags, and base guns are plentiful. The project would still cost a bit; the Mangonel sights are quite expensive and I haven't seen an Airsoft replica. I'm also looking at some of the SPR and DMRs available as base guns.

master_titled Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Doesn't look like an SPR grip... rather an ERGO grip. Edit: Rail looks like a FF YHM rail. The VFG is pretty interesting. Looks to be a M9 pistol grip... Link to post Share on other sites
Kenworth W900 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Thats your grip right there. But I think this is the only airsoft equivalent: Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 There are china replica Mangonel sight sets already, roughly $40 for both front and rear. Can't find any online right now but a local store just stocked them. Link to post Share on other sites
Kenworth W900 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 You mean here? About 10th item down under 'New ITEMS JULY 25th' Link to post Share on other sites
Erik_MAA Posted August 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Thanks for the pointers, I agree about the pistol grip. I'm not sure I could successfully place an order thru the FAS board though, so I'll need to look at another source for the Mangonels. Based on what I can see in these vidcaps, the foregrip was probably something whipped up by the prop department, pretty clearly the grip from an M9. You can see the grip screws and the distinctive shape of an M9 grip there. They probably cast it and added hardware to mount it. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 You mean here? Yup, thems the one. I know the seller personally and I doubt he takes international orders. But I do know that he gets most of his stock from Hong Kong so just keep your eye on the more prominent sellers there to put it up in stock. Shouldn't be too long from now.

ANDY_B Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 The vertical foregrip is a crimson trace lasergrip. Link to post Share on other sites
Kenworth W900 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Points for Andy B there I think - nice find. That should help this project. Those grips look really cool, I think I want some for my M9. Link to post Share on other sites
