ED-SKaR Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Happy that I got my Dillinger 1911 back from Hong Kong, but unfortunately I didn't get any of my extended 1911 magazines for it, which is problematic as it empties the single 1911 mag I have in about a second. Bums.Tell me more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Gutted an ACM Hicapa extreme pistol for the full auto blow back chamber and disconnector/sear. et voila, proper full auto. Â Also cut down a Thompson foregrip, mounted it to the frame, put a G3 flash hider on a threaded barrel adaptor. Will do up a proper barrel extension when I can. Mp7 inner barrel.

ED-SKaR Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) That's the right way of doing it. Mine is still a bundle of parts in a bag waiting to be modified. Â Interesting choice of flash hider, not exactly period accurate. Edited August 4, 2016 by ED-SKaR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 It was the right length and I had one too hand, that's literally the only reason I put it on. I'm going to try and get a proper barrel extension made Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CatgutViolin Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Man, did I kill this thread? After passing up the opportunity to buy a real Artillery Luger at a gun show this weekend I contented myself with overhauling my airsoft version to try to make it a usable sidearm. I think my graphite rub 'bluing' technique looks a lot better than the default glossy black. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CatgutViolin Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) What's graphite rub bluing? - not heard of that one. The finish looks quite good. Is it durable? Â It's a technique commonly used by prop modelers, I'm not sure if anyone else uses it for airsoft. I take powdered graphite, typically sold as a lubricant for locks, and rub it into the surface of the metal with a soft cloth (ie cut-up T-shirt square). This turns the satin black finish into a very metallic grey, but at this point it can be removed by dragging a finger across or getting it wet, so I spray it with matte varnish. This adheres it to the surface, but kills the shine, so I buff it thoroughly with a clean cloth to get some shininess back. Once that's complete I either call it done if I'm satisfied with the look, or repeat the whole process of graphite/varnish/buff to get a more metallic finish. When the process is complete, while the finish can be scraped off with a knife, it's significantly tougher than spray paint, and it's easy to touch up. Â On the left is the stock WE Luger, on the right is the refinished one, using two layers and heavily buffing to get the shiny blued look. As another example, I used the same basic technique on the body of my M53 Sarac, but doing one layer and minimizing the buffing after varnish, to give it a more matte phosphated look rather than the inaccurate satin black of the stock gun. Â Hope that helps. Edited December 30, 2016 by CatgutViolin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ED-SKaR Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Real bakelite or fake bakelite paint? Independently... nice! Knowing RC he probably made a mini can forge to smelt down blue PVC into actual bakelite, because screw how science works this is RC we're talking about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 This one's real bakelite for the Baikal MP442. Needs some fitting and a bit rough on the seams (cleaned it up later after taking the pics) and best part is they're only something like $25. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) Yup-yup... or even cheaper, thanx! Could you measure a grip thickness without RS grip shell? Â Thanx! Edited February 17, 2017 by Murdoc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 No idea. But it does look like it's also patterned after the MP442 so possibly yes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
