Boba_Fett Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 thanks dude,il post updates as i do more to it <{POST_SNAPBACK}>  That´s the worst when you´re starting to mod a FAMAS: It never ends.....any time you think you´ve finished it you find something new to change, swap, mod...... started nearly 2 years ago and invested the last 4 months getting the fps stable.....now I´m thinking about building a new boxmag as the 249 box is cool but very uncomfortable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pinkfloyd Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Does anyone know of any kind of mettalic paint that I can spray on to give my receiver a worn metalic effct? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dliberty Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 its funy that the majority of the our famases looked exactly like aimpoints at one time, then you get addicted to modding. as for myself, im looking to buy a famas within the next few days and turn it into a nice cqb gun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
da_monkey Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 (edited) heres my famas. she runs on co2 and duct tape despite its looks it runs over 450 fps and is rather accurate      the internals are a slightly hacked up sigma 40f with a stock m700 barrel made to fit m203 was sold to me as a tm one but i'm not too sure if it is since it uses 40mm gas shells hell of allot of fun to use even when out of bb's it keeps peoples heads down and for ~$200 new Zealand dollars (roughly converts to $100us or 66 euro) i think it was worth it Edited November 20, 2007 by da_monkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rhino Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Nice! If the M203 takes gas 40mm grenades, then it's defo not a Marui (they take the TM Shotgun shells) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
da_monkey Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 thought as much. the magazine is a work in progress i have the beginnings of a proper system but i need a few parts that i don't want to try getting threw customs atm. new Zealand customs there dodge at the best of times. so i'm probably going to put it on hold so i can work on some other projects. 100% metal gas semi l1a1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dismemberd Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) Da_monkey you are my hero!!! It is very messy but it looks great, that is one hell of a FAMAS. I love it. Are you gonna make a thread in the projects section? Will you tell us how you made it? I would definately be interested in seeing how you made it, and maybe considering one for myself. Â Â Â Â Also, what happened to your trigger safety? If you want, I'm pretty sure they sell extras at UNCO, or I might have one laying around somewhere. Â Â EDIT: Oh, and please get us a video.

da_monkey Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 ill see what i can do about a video probably get one next game. as for the safety i had to do away with that as the trigger pull is longer than original. ill have a go at putting something up in the project area this weekend so Fridayish for all you guys on the other side of the world  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terrorist killer Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Do you guys think I could get away with having just a tightbore, a 3-4x scope and a bipod for a DMR? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dliberty Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 if its cool with you that your dmr shoots under 300 fps. and get an f1 famas, it already has a bipod. Â But its good to see people posting in this thread again, as for myself, i sold the custom famas that you will see in this thread back around page 30 and bought an m4-s-system witch epicly failed on me so im back to the famas and am well on my way to having a little brother for my long lost love. i had another stock famas somewhere along the line...i cant explain where it came from but i sold it along with my first custom one. Â @ dismembered, i remember you had some success in upgrading your fps a bit, can you post a parts list and a quick note on your success or failure? im not sure what i want to do with this one yet internally. Â Â i reely need to get osme new pics up, it has side rails now too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dliberty Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 this thread needs more participants. Â updates since last picture: -side rails -m120 spring -polycrbonate piston -silent piston head -the g36 top rail is now bolted on instead of just glued. Â Â Â Â Â -still need to mod it for m4 mags, get a flash light and 9.6 mini batteries for it, could also use a new paint job cause i ran out while trying to paint the silencer.

I think I put something together wrong, or something was aligned right. As for your's you put an M120 in, but you didn't have to replace the gears? Does it shoot? Fast? Also, have you chronoed it?

dliberty Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 do you still have your famas? Â i forgot to mention that the gears have been replaced with classic army ones. and im still trying to get my hands on a chrono since i havnt been to the feild in a while, but it does shoot nice. im satasfied.

dliberty Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 made some updates today, it used to have that SV style hand guard...no more. moved the forgrip back because i like it there and it makes room for a flash light i wish i had. also did some painting on the silencer and hand grip, and hollowed out the inside in places so my batts can fit inside now.  *fruitcage* this thing is getting front heavy.      still needs some sanding, painting and gear box work. would also like a flash light and a ras mounted slig clip+3 point sling...sigh. it never ends  and no one follows this thread so why do i even bother?

I'm pretty much done working on it though, and now I'm doing my other guns(see M93R SMG thread in the projects suggestions, and Im gonna put up my AK in the AK pics thread once I get the courage )  made some updates today, it used to have that SV style hand guard...no more. moved the forgrip back because i like it there and it makes room for a flash light i wish i had. also did some painting on the silencer and hand grip, and hollowed out the inside in places so my batts can fit inside now. *fruitcage* this thing is getting front heavy.  and no one follows this thread so why do i even bother?  I also have trouble deciding where to put the foregrip. Sometimes when i'm lazy I don't even use it, I just hold the trigger guard, and prop my elbow on my hip. lol, it sounds bad, but it is comfy...  I think the farther forward you have it, the easier it is to steady your gun, but the harder to hold. When you move it back, it is easier to hold, but not as effective. I usually keep mine somehwere in the middle. When I'm out there using it, it really doesnt even matter, and I don't even notice. It's just when I'm sitting at home wishing I was using it, that I start to ###### with it.  Speaking of using it, I have scrimished with it, and it is really nice. I'm not sure if I mentioned it before, but I think having the carrying handle is actually advantageous >.< Some people don't think it looks as nice, but I love it because I can use my RDS with my face mask on, because it is so high up.  As for the weight, I definately know what you mean. Mine isnt so much front heavy, but it is noticeably heavier. With no externals it is a fairly light gun, but once you start putting the big scope mount, and rails, and scopes on it, it adds up.  I'm sorry I haven't been following as closely as I used to, but like I said, I am more or less done with mine, and it's winter, and I haven't been playing recently, so I dont come on much.   EDIT: Also, I'm not really into the silencer, but what really got me was those tile floors. Not nearly as cool, or classy as the "kissies". Edited February 19, 2008 by dismemberd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dliberty Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 ah, nice to hear from you, i like my grip all the way back cause i can basically one hand the gun effectively so i dont need to stability of having it up front. most of the wieght on my gun comes from the silencer witch is actually a bike peg and weighs about 3 lbs.

How did you manage to attach a bike peg? Â Does it change the sound at all? I imagine it would sound at least a little different. That seems the same as a really big noveske flash hider.

dliberty Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 i wrapped the outer barrel in electrical tape and its just jammed on there, stays on fine, it actually doesnt move at all. as far as sound goes not to much since its solid metal and no foam but yea thats basically the look i was going for, gona see what i can do about getting a foam filled supressor but im not looking to spend much money since G&G hasa famas coming out this year.

Â and may i ask the same of you sir? it was a double post and i felt since me and dismembered are among the small fraction of people who post in this thread that my question would not interupt the flow of famas related information all that much. Â however since it bothers you enough to inspire you to spend the 11.5 seconds registering your complaint, i will apologize and take it to pms next time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
