Bob the Angry Potato Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Alright, enough of the idiotic requests... now, I'm actually looking for something serious, and may request it to be made by you (depending on the price). I got rather dissapointed with the plasticky feel of my FA-MAS F1, so I'm looking for someone to mill a metal foregrip, with rails (2 furthur back on the sides, and one on the bottom). Also, the hop-up cover/cheekplate tends to be something that snaps easily, so I am also looking to have one of those made... Pictures are out of the question for the next week or so, sorry. However, if someone has a FA-MAS in your area... However, this isn't final. I will have to review shipping, taxes, Customs, pricing and look around more locally. Link to post Share on other sites

Bob the Angry Potato Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Ah, amazing. Thank you, VERY MUCH. You have any idea on the pricing, and is there anyone with a FA-MAS F1 (or SV) in your area? Even with pictures, it is quite hard to show everything (They're quite simple, except for 2 tabs in the foregrip). Link to post Share on other sites
Prometheus Posted December 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Yeah, there is a guy I know that has one. I can always use Google too.... Just off the top of my head, I'd have to say probably $50-$150 depending on the method that is used...... Link to post Share on other sites
Bob the Angry Potato Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 50-150? Excellent, I can save for it. First, may I ask, which type of metals can you use? Second, I'm sorry to say it will take at least a few months for me to put enough money aside, so expect it sometime in 2006... sorry. Cheers, anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a little backed up as it is right now anyways. I can do steel, aluminum, tin, etc.....basically anything that is malliable..... Link to post Share on other sites
Bob the Angry Potato Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Ah, once again, excellent. If it's smooth, fairly hard and durable, it should do. Yeah, I'll E-Mail you when the gun's needed, don't expect it to be for a while or this to be final... however, my heart's been set in this custom gun for a long time, and when I start on something, I always follow through.

Prometheus Posted January 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Well, I have a cost efficient idea that will possibly save you money. Is the FAMAS a metal gun in real life or is it plastic polymer? I can make a foregrip and possibly a body for you that won't be squeeky. I'm not promissing, but I'm pretty sure that I can do injection molded plastic for you. It could also be less squeeky if I make it thicker and more stable... Is the FAMAS metal or polymer? (real steel) Link to post Share on other sites
Kingmob3 Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Could you pur a G36C top rail on top of a LR300( extendable stock version, not folding)? Also if you could put the Dual optic cary handle on to pof it too that would be great. thanks KM3 Link to post Share on other sites
Prometheus Posted January 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 I suppose I could look into it. I'm not promising anything though... Link to post Share on other sites

(real steel) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow, that'd be great! The real-steel's polymer, but I never had really cared for realism. Unfortunately enough, I'd have to stick with just the cheek-plate and the foregrip. The gun itself (or just a body, or anything that remotely resembles a gun) has no chance in Hell of getting through Customs. Link to post Share on other sites
Prometheus Posted January 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 So... metal or ABS? I can do both, but just off the top of my head I'm going to say that the ABS will be slightly cheaper than the metal. However, seeing as the one you have is ABS right now, it really wouldn't be much of an improvment ... Its up to you. Of course, if you want me to make up a new design for you, say with something like RIS rails, a build in bipod ( such as the G&P G36 foregrip), or something, I'd be happy to. It would be a little easier and more exciting to me to do that. But again its your choice... Also, can you give me EVERY single measurement and maybe include pictures. I have a very limited memory of what the foregrip's dimensions and all are. ~P Link to post Share on other sites

Prometheus Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 *coughM249flashidercough* <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know. I'm working on it. I've done a coupe sketches for it....Just trying to figure out stuff about how to do it... I know I can definately machine it. I'm trying to figure out how to use my machines to get a thread in there.... So far it has twelve holes (three on the top, bottom, and sides), and it has cut in's on the muzzle....its cylindrical. I'll try to get a scan of it soon and send it to you. Link to post Share on other sites
cvrfc1326 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hey, I was having some woodland fun the other day with my new UMG. I usually play a sniper role, but I wanted to just have some full auto fun. Anyways, I was trying to nestle into some bushes, and I realized I had a problem. The mags for the UMG are rather large... so you can't lay down effectively. I came up with the solution of a cut-down mag that would have a base inline with the pistol grip. I'll try and post some pictures of what I'm talking about later. Think SL-9 mag in a G-36C. That's sort of what i'm going for, something compact. Anyways, I don't think it would be hard to cut down one of my current mags and piece it back together. I'm having trouble trying to decide whether a standard 70rd spring mag would be best, or a cut-down hi-cap that would just have a smaller, say 100-200 round resivoir. It looks like I'd have to cut about 4-5 inches out. My hope is that you can help me model the way a standard mag would fit, so I can get an idea of capacity. From a site, the price difference is just a few bucks. I took apart a high cap, and the mechanism and such would leave about 2-3 inches for a resivoir. If you can help me figure this out, I think having the shell of the mag made and dropping in the internals would probably be the best solution. Also, I'm trying to conceptualize a silencer for a UMG. I like the mechanism on the one G&G already made, but I want something beefier. I'll see if I can find some pictures of something cool that I could screw the back end off of. Thanks for any help, and good luck with your work doing this stuff. Link to post Share on other sites

Illuminati Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I've had an idea for a gas grenade for a while, now. Picture this: Your usual pineapple style grenade. It's made of a steel framework holding up four rubber "leaves". Picture peeling a bananna. They're hinged or supported on the bottom somehow, and they're flange on the inside so that they friction fit snugly into the frame and won't come popping out. Now, your gas resivior is in the top or possibly the middle of the grenade. When the grenade fires, it quickly releases the gas into the outer chamber of the grenade, between the gas chamber and those rubber leaves, which is where the BB's go. After the gas overpressures the outer chamber, the leaves let go with a "pop" and the whole thing peels itself open and spews BB's everywhere (hopefully). The one thing I haven't figured out is a reliable mechanical delay mechanism. This may involve winding up your grenade before filling it with gas... I'll draft some pictures when I have more time. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Isnt that basicly how a shotgun shell works? (in simple terms, obviously with whatever explosive is used instead of gas) Link to post Share on other sites
cvrfc1326 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Prometheus, I got my camera charging right now. Meanwhile, what about making plastic shells that people could put there homemade claymores in? There have been a few threads in here about people making the actual mines, but what about some inexpenisve shells you drop your own internals into? With a satisfactory trigger built in, this could work really well. God, the things I think of at 1:30am. Link to post Share on other sites
