Mike_West Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Okay, so I said "A", mentioning that I'll be working on a Fallout 3's Chinese Assault Rifle. Since I have the whole 2013 to roll with the rest of the alphabet, you can count me in. Link to post Share on other sites
DrAlexanderTobacco Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 You can count me in as well, I guess. There's an episode of The Simpsons, where Homer buys a gun. A revolver, in fact. The gun clerk goes through the attachments, eventually saying "And this is for shooting down police helicopters". I'm going to build that attachment Link to post Share on other sites
Kalashnikov_kid Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Okey doke. Few big bits to start off with. Reciever From this To this Heat Shield Cut drilled and hot blued Barrel and Barrel Nut Still a WIP but you get the idea. Still need to bore the barrel and turn down both parts more to allow for a solid fit. Also looking to knurl the nut All parts so far are steel and are going to to be hot/niter blued. We may parkerize them if I can get some manganese phosphate. Where possible we're aiming to do a mostly steel build with some ali parts if we can't do it outta steel.

Mike_West Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I have another idea that will cost me pretty much the same, but require significantly more elbow grease. There's a Denix sawn-off shotty sold for 75 quid over here. I gotta check if it's going to work with Goblin shells (technically similar to Tanaka, Madbull, etc.) and how hard will it be to do it.

Azubi Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Agreed, will be nice to see the end result. Link to post Share on other sites
Kenworth W900 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 We need not guess - KKid has already disclosed that it is indeed an M45 SMG elsewhere. The quality of the work so far is awesome - its gonna feel great to hold with all that steel in its construction Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Looking good guys. One thing id like to add, can we not quote pics please? It kills me phone I sadly dont have access to any of the kit i need to make it, but i have the beginnings of a plan to make an SMG from Borderlands Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Can we give Kalashnikov_kid his own thread? I'd love to see a proper introduction to the gun and what he plans, and why he chose it. [EDIT]I mean, can everyone with a project get their own thread, for the same reason?[/EDIT] Link to post Share on other sites
Kalashnikov_kid Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Thanks guys, Matt and I have put about 3hrs into it so far. Can do a separate thread if needed Ta K_K Link to post Share on other sites

It kills me phone I sadly dont have access to any of the kit i need to make it, but i have the beginnings of a plan to make an SMG from Borderlands Yes, please do not quote pics from now on in this section. It's not necessary, particularly within the same page, and it is, at best, annoying for most thread browsers. Can we give Kalashnikov_kid his own thread? I'd love to see a proper introduction to the gun and what he plans, and why he chose it. [EDIT]I mean, can everyone with a project get their own thread, for the same reason?[/EDIT] As I have explained already, anyone who enters the competition and starts their builds is more than welcome to document their progress in an individual build thread of their very own. However, I am not forcing anybody to do this - hence why this communal thread was created. Thanks guys, Matt and I have put about 3hrs into it so far. Can do a separate thread if needed Ta K_K KKid - I actively encourage the in depth documenting of all the custom builds so please do feel free to post your own thread within the sub-forum. However, just to reiterate, you can just use this communal thread if you like. And one more reminder to all builders - if you create your own thread, please don't hesitate to ask for assistance if it becomes cluttered. Link to post Share on other sites

Dr.Arnie Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 right guys, time for a progress update, its not going to reveal much but we are waiting to start manufacture before we reveal more. the reason for not revealing more is that there are a lot of prototype features on this piece that don't exist in airsoft, needless to say the only thing that we have used as a bench mark is the trigger mech. this is a project between myself and keswick and so far is going well. more shall be revealed in a full blog yet to come but for now all you need to know is that this pic is not just face value, it is completely designed inside and out and ready to function. hope you al enjoy Link to post Share on other sites

renegadecow Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I really can't think up of anything to make for the contest. Can't I just make a double barreled China Lake and call it a day? Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe a side-by-side plonker like the one built for that horrible "Mutant Chronicles" movie? Link to post Share on other sites

snakebitey Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Made this a couple of years back I've put a small wireless camera inside the body of my TM P90TR, just under the barrel, with a rechargeable 9V battery in the handgrip, and an on / off switch and charging port near the rear of the gun. It will transmit to a hand-held screen (size of a large phone) that will also record onto memory card, for some nice FPS-style footage, and corner-shooting (where the site allows!). Just need to stop spending all my money so I can buy the screen! I've got a receiver that plugs into a TV, so it's all tested and working great There's also a light and laser operated from two switches mounted into the side of the gun, near the front. Apologies for the crappy pictures, my camera seems to bring out all the scratches perfectly =/ And one 'teaser' for the AA-12 getting underway Link to post Share on other sites
