blobface Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 So a while ago I put all of my airsoft stuff (and most of my belongings) into storage, many months later after the home renovation was done, this happened to my CAW HK69. Naturally the next thing to do was the 3D print a replacement: Top: CAW version glued back together, bottom, sparkly blue test prints After the fitment was okay, it was time to get bits CNC'ed in steel Having ordered a few correct diameter steel tubes, they were sent to @junglejim LCs Engineering to fit, machine and assemble. As always, Jim did an amazing job on the lathe machining and putting the parts together, fitted with real steel iron sights, here's a little preview of it unfinished next to a two tone stainless steel USP-9. It was time to get the correct finish, after many places turned me down, finally a place was able to parkerise the parts for me, giving it a slight grey finish. Very happy with the results, weighing in at 2.5kg+, it's very close to the real thing. The final steps to take are likely going to be engraving the lower with trades, and also making a rs stock fit somehow. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 I have to say, when I saw the first image in the post it physically hurt. But the replacement looks amazing! How much did it end up costing you, if you don't mind me asking? Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted March 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 I try not to think about it but probably more than a NGRS, less than a PTW... Link to post Share on other sites

BigAl Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 LOL, was looking for one of these and considering a steel barrel, however at between NGRS and PIW price I think i'll stick with plastic. Link to post Share on other sites
