Boba_Fett Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I planed to do an conversion but the standard M16 mag catch won´t fit, as it would go directly through the edge of the gearbox Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dirty mao Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 It's easy to mod (airsoft) M16 mags to fit a FAMAS. Just a bit of dremelin/ filing to get the FAMAS mag catch to work with em. Plus, even after the mod you can still use em in an armalite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

snowman Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Good old '06' - I think McMadKat owns it now - It was an ex-rental gun, hence the dings and bashes - I still miss it Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BakaBox Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Snowman: Has it gone through some kind of paintjob, or is it just bruised and oily? And which rail is that? Nicho: Please learn, and leave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hells_Nightwatchman Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Nicho Is Bad Man And FAMAS is Lovley I have noticed that everyone who owns a famas keeps it black, and some people cut off the handle i want to see some pictures of Camo painted famas's and famas's with chopped carry rails leaving just the front and rear iron sight pillars.

farrasdevell Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 (edited) the mod for the famas to take m16 mags if fairly straight foreward. I tried to mod a MAG midcap but it didn't work due to the feed lip not being tall enough and the mag is ever so slightly too small for a secure fit. Will keep plugging away at it. Poor mag is looking a bit mangled but try and try again. Hells, i have a dpm paintjob on mine. have axed the CH but took off the iron sights too so i could still have the rail on there. there were pics somewhere on the forund i think in the painted weapons thread.

snowman Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 BakaBox - No paint job, it was just much used The rail is a highly specialised, limited edition (I made it out of a bit of rail and an ally U section from B&Q - did the job, though). Nicho - Me Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

n00bTard Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I've heard there is a ducttape method for reducing the creakiness of a FAMAS - could someone explain that to me? I <3 my FAMAS, but with a nice heavy scope on it, it's even more creaky than before. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snowman Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Longsword - That is fantastic!!!! I love the way you've left bits black. Very cool!!! BUT.... SAND? In Sweden?!?!? Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Robot 2000 Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 (edited) n00btard- Tighten any screws you can see - be careful because they're threaded directly into the plastic! Add duct tape around where the foregrip/battery compartment rubs against the body of the gun - not at the back where it clips into the trigger bit. Open the hatch on the bottom of the pistol grip, undo the big philips screw and take off the grip. Add duct tape (only one layer, or the grip won't go back on) on the nub the grip slips over. Reattach. You can be as tough as you like on the pistol grip screw since it's the only one which goes into a metal thread. That should significantly reduce what creakiness the gun has.

Robot 2000 Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 looks good! Is that a real helmet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Longsword Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Yes, the last steelhelmet made and issued to an modern army! (Together with the one issued to the Swiss Army.) It is beein replaced (since the -90ies i guess?) with one in kevlar wery much like the one US forces use but of local manufacture, but you can still see it (the old one) beeing used. It is quite comfortable far as an helmet goes, and para-ready - but has a reputation to get bumpy and knocked out of shape with heawy use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
