srpg Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 (edited) I'm sorry, but EBRs are still ugly to me.....they are just as bad as railed AKs Edited April 13, 2007 by srpg Link to post Share on other sites
lineman66 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 bah, too many EBRs, allow me: Â Â TM M14 "Black Hawk Down" style, krylon paint, KA RAS, GP Fakepoint on a GG throw lever mount, KA bipod, and KA flashider for that extra sweetness. Link to post Share on other sites
j3T Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 please..i beg you dont EBR that beautiful piece of kit...you know deep down inside its wrong...if you want rails and moderate practicality buy an *generic Americanski assault rifle*. but i beg you dont torture that poor gun <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â Myeah, I'm planning on buying an AGM MP008 and combine it with the remains of the socom, so it won't be completely lost ;p. Besides, the current internals of the socom are upgraded with Systema and PDI parts so it's logical that I'd use those for the EBR ^^ Â Ty for the information Jagdraben.

boomboomairsoft Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 top one just looks stupid with that scope. Â and in that same pic, why does the mag thats not in the gun have a notch in it? Link to post Share on other sites
evilliboba Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 That would be a G&G M14 magazine. I assume that the wood bodied gun is a a G&G SOC16 not a Marui. Link to post Share on other sites

evilliboba Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 (edited) I sprayed down the heat shield with some brown Krylon. Â Â Edit: Yes I know the safety is off. Edited April 14, 2007 by evilliboba Link to post Share on other sites
M14 Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Heres an old picture of my M14 and a little bit of my Vietnam gear. Everything on the belt is authentic Vietnam era U.S. issue gear. The M14 is a G&G M14 Veteran with the walnut "finish" removed from the real wood, a walnut wood smooth heatshield (like early M14s used) and some stock harware replaced with real stock hardware. I am going for a authentic Vietnam look so the M14 isnt so fancy. Â Â http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d146/Bla...26/IMG_6662.jpg Link to post Share on other sites

BARsrule2 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Freddy four finger, if I had an M14, it would look exactly like yours. Excellent. Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 @jagdraben ...but there's no SOCOM left in that EBR, what was the point?? in fact theres *fruitcage* all M14 left apart from the mag. and as for the *generic Americanski assault rifle* comment, bear in mind i would probably rather be castrated with a sledgehammer than buy one, name something that the EBR does better than say an M4 s-system...jeez, it even (dare i say it) looks better. thats saying something Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 How would you go about putting together an EBR without scrapping alot of the externals. Link to post Share on other sites

evansy Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Not wanting to start an argument could someone with an EBR short and M4 take a pic of them both side by side with the stocks out? I did do a search but nothing usefull turned up. Link to post Share on other sites

evansy Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I'm just wanting to see the actual size difference when there set up to use. All the pics I've seen with M4's in them have the stocks folded. Link to post Share on other sites

scooberoo Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 M14 bashing is not allowed in the M14 thread. In this thread the M14 is king. I don't own an M14, but I just want others to show respect to the guys who spent their hard earned cash on stuff they want to share online. Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge133 Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Â My AGM M14. Currently I am debating what to do with it. Go the Mk14 with long barrel or just get a wood kit for it. Link to post Share on other sites
