BaBaBooey Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Spot on, ive only found a handful of images on this rifle. It was a silenced version, designed to kill muzzle flash when the DEA raided drug factories. Â Some cracking pics of DEA/SWAT using the standard m635, I havent found any pics of this in use yet. Â Â Based on the Black Rifle Vol 2, the suppressor was designed for sub-sonic ammunition and reduce sound. It's integrated into the barrel so the only noise from being fired is reported to be limited to bolt chatter. Apparently it was extremely effective, but the project immediately canceled by Colt (apparently it was never even given a model number) due to lack of interest so photos of it in use would be rare. There are several detailed photos and diagrams, including the suppressed version, of the entire Colt 9mm SMG Project in the book. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
charlie 6 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) My take on a MK18 mod 1  TM M4A1 based KA Metal receiver Madbull DD RIS 2  Built this a couple of years back then kind of put this aside cause I concentrated on GBB's for a bit. Still missing a few bits and bobs and some internal work. Any suggestions? Kind of regret putting this together especially since Alien Airsoft makes fully built MK18's for about the same price of the receiver and the rail alone. Edited August 30, 2013 by charlie 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Reptile House Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Painting of an alternate upper for my Block II M4A1 commences. The upper is Milciv flava and is my first attempt at painting. Next I need to spray the lower, then combine the two for the pattern.

The Reptile House Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Thanks. I was hoping my next can of Humbrol would turn up today so I could get the lower done 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Sorry to be negative, but nooo - not the SMR upper! I loved that in black.  It's not like any Special Forces (at least to my knowledge) are using the SMR in sandbox environments - so you're painting a beautiful rifle with hard-to-remove colours that don't camouflage it in Britain (unless you play at the Sandpit a lot) and don't replicate any issue weapon. Having spent so much time and money matching parts, it seems lazy, almost, to cover it with a flat coat of beige; aren't we over dustings of khaki with scrim net yet?  I would have preferred a neat, defined pattern to complement such a neat and hard-edged rifle. A digital pattern, maybe:  1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Reptile House Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Too finished  The beige (lol) will weather nicely and hopefully accentuate the matching parts below. Is it a risk? Yes it is, but I've never painted a blaster before so we'll see how it goes.  As for why I'm using the SMR for this, it's not really about DEVGRU or whoever using the 416 version. This is an M4 version and clearly I'm not seeking to replicate an ST6 blaster.  What I am doing is interpreting some in the wild pics I've been collecting recently, which feature Block IIs with tube front ends (normally Troy TRX or Alpha). For me, sticking an SMR on my Block II lower is the next logical step.  But yes, if it ends in disaster, at least you warned me 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackjack13 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 If it ends in disaster just buy a bottle of acetone and spend an hour stripping it back to black. Simples.Personally I like MilCiv (CivMil ) builds that are painted. Guns are meant to be practical tools after all, and we're replicating that. Pat Rogers would be proud. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheFull9 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) IMHO, Tan/Khaki is probably going to work better in most places than black. Â Every time I look through photo albums from skirmish sites (and most time that I go to a skirmish) it's an endless parade of guys in camo that always blend in at least to some extent, even if they're wearing deserts in the woods in winter, then a massive sticking-out slab of nice, flat, consistent and entirely contrasting black which leaps out at you, grabs your shirt and screams in your face "I'M OVER HERE". Â Obviously everyone's eyes are different as are the various skirmish sites, but to my mind plain black is just an option for a cool looking airsoft rifle in your collection. Â It's an aesthetic nicety for wall hangers and hobbies or sports where such things are entirely a choice and nobody's life is on the line, not practical or functional.

Mazor Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 My blasters ATM The painted one is CA and the another is brand new Bolt B4A1 SOPMOD. Bolt is currently shooting semi only, need open it and fix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vilreen Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 New SBR build starting to take shape. Missing a good deal of parts, but will be finished as soon as Dytac UXR3 10.25" becomes available in any HK shop... Also, it's my first build from scratch 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PureSilver Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Apart from the magazine, that's very close to what I'm aiming for! What torch is that? Surely not the correct M952N? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
validtumoralarm Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) Got some parts in to start the next phase of my M4's life, something I haven't seen in this thread in a while. Now I just need to track down a MB 9" OmegaX in black. SOPMOD stuff will be for sale once I can be sure the OmegaX will fit.  [/ URL]  Also, no matter how many times I try to rotate the photo in Photobucket it still comes out like this. Sorry.

Surely not the correct M952N?  I have no choice in the mags, its the only mag that I know of that works in a WA based gun that isn't complete poo and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. As for the torch, I have no idea, it's just a China clone I bought off a friend. The gun is a just a cheap fixer upper I got off a buddy, it's basically an AGM with some upgrades. Works well enough and shoots like a boss.  I LOVE that. Always love guns set up like that.  Thank you kindly. Next project is a MK 18 Mod 1 upper receiver. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
