Leon Kennedy Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) Quick snippet of what I'm working on. It may be a bit old school, but it's easily the most "pointable" rifle I have ever owned. Sorry for the poor mobile pics. Edited April 11, 2013 by Leon Kennedy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawaiianjuggernaut Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 It doesn't have a gas port in the upper? If that's the only reason (instead of "I want to put batteries in my handguard, so there's no space"), then I'd suggest just drilling one. My SOPMOD didn't have one either and I had my tech drill a hole for one (really I should have done it myself - I've got a drill press and he doesn't, so it would have been much easier for me to do it). It's MUCH easier than anything else, by far more realistic, and it's really very easy. Ideally you need a drill press, but some clamps and handheld Dremel or drill should do the trick. If you're gonna just put a screw in, a tap will make it much easier but I reckon most airsoft metal is so soft you should be able to use two or three screws to cut a thread. Bear in mind you'll need a decent vise or clamp to secure the piece while you're torquing on it.  I am going to end up just loctiting it to the gas block. I tried doing it with a spare triangle sight and handguard cap i had sitting around and it is pretty solid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-wigs- Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Going to build another lm4 into a honey badger esque build. Since I need the buffer tube I can't realy run the exact mp5 like stock so I chopped up a regular old m4 stock and made this. Going to fill the hole most likely but it will work for me and is nice and slim. Â For good measure my mk18 that I move a few bits around on recently 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-wigs- Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 I just have to figure out how to make the "plug" work so I can change positions. If not I'm just going to tape the buffer so it will stay fixed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

emp3ror86 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) It's VTAC time then. Â Â It is a WIP. New stock, 557 (from Hawaiianjuggernaut) and a black paintjob for the receiver are inbound. Edited April 17, 2013 by emp3ror86 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I'm guessing yours is RS, going on the gas block setup? I'm planning on getting rid of the Madbull VTAC as soon as I can afford to because of the lack of gas block. Either way, looks awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

emp3ror86 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) @hwagan: Thanks! Yes it is a RS Vtac Alpha. Awesome stuff. Now that you mention it there is a new gas block coming, too. Someone wrote somewhere that it would be an easy install since it uses the barrel nut of the host gun. Not true. If you want to install one I strongly suggest to have your receiver rethreaded and get a RS barrel nut. Edited April 17, 2013 by emp3ror86 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I've heard that about a few different RS rails; So the stock KWA/KSC LM4 barrel nut is off-spec somehow then? If that is the case I'll just order a real steel nut and get the threads re-cut. I do like the VTAC rail, but I prefer the look of the Samson so the plan is to go for a 9" one of those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Reptile House Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Alphas can be funny with different RS barrel nuts, as well...or rather, not all RS barrel nuts are exactly the same. Â I posted an install link a page or so back - it says which brand RS barrel nut I used, so I know that one is good to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I tried the uscmCorps photoshop method on the first picture, but I'm not as skilled as he is. My apologies. Picture #2 is way much better . I envy You that RIS II. Its color looks relatively normal in every light condition. I can't say the same about my mk18... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do like the VTAC rail, but I prefer the look of the Samson so the plan is to go for a 9" one of those.  According to usCmcorps it is not. Sadly I do not have many RS parts to test such thing. You happen to know someone who can make the re-cut work within the EU? I had a chance to try a few types of handguards in the past years, and I find the Vtac the best for me so far. That setup I got now is pretty much an ideal one. Finally.   Alphas can be funny with different RS barrel nuts, as well...or rather, not all RS barrel nuts are exactly the same.  I posted an install link a page or so back - it says which brand RS barrel nut I used, so I know that one is good to go.  Yes, I read that. Thanks for it. It took me like 3 hours of filing and trying with a stock KSC barrel nut. And there is still a gap between the tube and the receiver.

Extraordinaire Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 validtumoralarm, how are you liking the Hammers 1-4x? Â For those interested in an Elcan SpecterDR, the 1-4x models that PX-Airsoft is selling are really decent in terms of function, build quality, and color/finish. Most think the SpecterDR replicas should be a dark, almost chocolate, brown. That would be true if the replicas were the newer-gen SpecterDRs. However, since the only replicas I've seen are the older-gen, the almost-gold finish is quite accurate. 1X:Â 4X: Â -Ex 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
validtumoralarm Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 I don't think my scope is a Hammers, or if it is it must be rebranded. It's a Centerpoint 1-4x. I was at the surplus store picking up a new TLR-1 for my Glock and ended up taking this home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
