Spedz Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Well it's not the styling it's self that's bad and while I do applaud your efforts the problem is it just seems quiet unfinished. Link to post Share on other sites
DUFF MAN Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 ok thanks. I know that it isnt quite finished just yet. I think it still needs a bit of work on it. Could you give me any pointers???? thanks Link to post Share on other sites
AceOfSkulls Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) you need to fill the gaps and cover the nails with some sort of filler, possibly the corners aswell. then sand it all down so it looks like one smooth piece before you paint it it will look good then , you have got the shape right and i applaud you for bothering, i would of just bought them ready made Edited July 27, 2009 by AceOfSkulls Link to post Share on other sites
chaoslord800 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hey guys figured I'd ask here...I purchased a G3 slither stock for my TM SG1 and was wondering what needs to be done in order to rewire the gun to the front? I'm not the best with internals. Also, is there enough room in the handguard for a stick battery? Link to post Share on other sites
navymp28 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 There is a channel in the side of the receiver that will accomodate a wire, And all you really need to do is run an extension from the back of the gearbox into the front. Link to post Share on other sites
Seraphim989 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Duffman, you should sand/file the end of the stock that attaches to the receiver to make it fit with the outline of the receiver better Link to post Share on other sites
DUFF MAN Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Ok, thanks for all the advice ! Ill get working on that. Link to post Share on other sites
mikoyan99 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) My latest addition: Formerly toska's G3-sg1/psg-1 hybrid, i've stripped all the modern bits off and converted to A3 standard with real steel furniture. I'm off to see my gunsmith soon, and hopefully we'll be able to hollow out the top of the receiver for a stick battery, alowing me to fit a sliding stock and convert to G3A4 Need to get the screw thread cut for the flash suppressor too. The whole sight mount/sight unit is for sale btw. -Matt Edited July 28, 2009 by mikoyan99 Link to post Share on other sites
Seraphim989 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 WHy did you take off the flash hider? Link to post Share on other sites
mikoyan99 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I didn't, it was missing when I bought it. Nearest thing i've got is a KSC HK-33 flash hider, so i'm getting a thread cut to mount that. -Matt Link to post Share on other sites

Seraphim989 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Ah. It looks so pointy without one Link to post Share on other sites
mikoyan99 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 You could run wires to the front and run a LiPo battery... No can do, theres absolutely no space in the foregrip now; it more or less hugs the barrel. the only free space is in the upper receiver. -Matt Link to post Share on other sites
Imperator Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) Great job Matt! True about the foregrip space, simply there isn't any... You should get a green canvas sling. Looks better with the bakelite. Check out mine. Cheers Edited July 29, 2009 by Imperator Link to post Share on other sites
chaoslord800 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Hey guys I've disassembled my TM G3SG1 to try and rewire to the front i've got the upper receiver apart from the lower but...where do I go from there? Link to post Share on other sites
Ion Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Hey guys I've disassembled my TM G3SG1 to try and rewire to the front i've got the upper receiver apart from the lower but...where do I go from there? Remove the handguard. (you may have already) Take out the selector switch. On the opposite side there should be a screw where the selector moves the other side, take that screw out and pull the selector switch out. Remove the little plastic housing on the back of the gearbox, and then it should come out without any issues. Link to post Share on other sites

On the opposite side there should be a screw where the selector moves the other side, take that screw out and pull the selector switch out. Remove the little plastic housing on the back of the gearbox, and then it should come out without any issues. wait what? you can leave your gearbox rear wired like this: if you look at the back of my gearbox you can see the plastic part with a cut out top (the SG1 plastic thingy doesn't have this cut out, this plastic thingy is from my MC51), you need that cut out so you can run a from there up and along the left side of the gearbox (left side if you look at it with the loading nozzle facing away from you). if you look down the rear of the upper receiver you'll see this: basically the wires need to go from the back of the gearbox, down the length of the receiver on left hand side, left of the hop unit and then out the hole circled, making sure you have a bit of excess wire, so you can easily connect and disconnect the wiring from the rear of the gearbox, if you need to get at the gearbox for some reason. here's where the wires would come out of the upper receiver under the hand guard: Depending on how thick the wires you use are you may have to split the upper receiver into the two halves. I have to apologise for the rubbish explanation but hopefully some one can clarify what I'm trying to say better, and/or you get the gist of what I'm trying to say.

chaoslord800 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Ok thanks mate, I got it now. Link to post Share on other sites
Ion Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Haha, sorry about that, I figured you needed to take down the gun more, like you didn't know how to get the gearbox out. My mistake. Link to post Share on other sites
chaoslord800 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Ok well, I got the gun apart and everything was going GREAT. I thought for once I would have done a project and it would have turned out without an issue. However, since we're talking about me of course this wasn't possible. The problem is that the wire I originally had wasn't long enough to reach from the rear of the gear box to the front of the foregrip so I took two wires and soldered them together. I then had to remove the small Tamiya head and feed it through the plastic upper receiver and out through a small hole at the back of the barrel. I connected a battery to the newly formed wire and the gearbox, set the selector to semi, pulled the trigger and...nothing. I then connected the battery straight to the gearbox and it worked fine. obviously something is wrong with the wire but I'm not sure what it could be...Also I did not include a fuse, this is just a straight wire running from the gearbox to the front of the receiver. Any tips? Link to post Share on other sites
Azulsky Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Yey got all my PDI parts in last night and this morning(pdi photo below) First issue seems to be that there is a discrepancy of size about that of a human hair causing the chamber block to not allow the out barrel to slide in. In favor of sweating it on im going to try to remove just a bit of material with sandpaper. then its off with the dremel tool to put it all together, a bit of cutting and sanding to do!

Warning Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 @ Chaoslord800: only thing i could suggest is is to check the wiring, and check if you haven't got the Tamiya head thing isn't on the wrong way around, have another look throu often the littlest mistakes are the one you miss @ Azulsky: my god that looks awesome not so sure about the shiny metal cocking tube thingy, are you using a plastic body or a metal body?

Azulsky Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Im doing it with an old style classic army metal body My cocking tube peice is anodized black so it looks normal lol Edited August 5, 2009 by Azulsky Link to post Share on other sites
