rwham Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 For the best looking P-90 ever, see the last pic on post #7. WHY DID YOU CHANGE IT?! Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 I know, I hate the new handle too... but right now it's the only method that meets my requirements. It's relatively easy, it's long enough for a scope, I can use iron sights, the optics can be mounted back, and it's somewhat low. If anyone has a better idea, feel free to post it. Otherwise I could tear the whole thing down, get rid of the mag catch, lower the handle more, cover one side, and make the mag well on the side... but I just need a device to press it down and hold it...

Insanejoe Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 AK style mount raised a bit high and hand a peep sight off the bottom of it? Link to post Share on other sites
Tecro Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Haha...quoting from post 7: "I say it is about 90% completed at this point, I still have a bit of beauty/patch work to do, but it's "finished" in the sense that I'd feel safe taking it to a game." AFAIK, the only improvement needed after the pic rwham referred to was smoothing the bottom of the stock. Alright, enough repetition of all the bashing... The current version looks okay. I hope you consider smoothing things out and adding some curves, maybe to cover up the sight once you add it. Good luck as always! Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 AK style mount raised a bit high and hand a peep sight off the bottom of it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> suggested before and i still agree. drill a russian mount plate into the side, get a couple of weaver rail russian scope mounts and you can choose whatever scope you want and very quickly switch between RDS/reflex and scope. i think sights underneath the mount might be a bit uncomfortable as they would have to be VERY low, obviously the mount would have to be high enough and far enough forwards to allow mag changes but if its too high i think it would ruin the look of the gun. eitherway, lets face it, if youre DMRing youre not likely to need iron sights, and the same if you have an RDS, so why not have a set of folding sights built into the gun, so when you want irons you can remove the scope mount and flip the sights. and for the love of god leave it black, touch it with OD and i will KILL you Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted June 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 So, it is now the XM90-L Other than the lack of sights, it is completely functional. Maybe needs some surface smoothing and another paint coating. Link to post Share on other sites
Souske Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 The sides of the top rail/handle part looks like it could use a bit more sanding.....but that thing looks...beast!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Insanejoe Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 that looks like if you put a rail on it, its gonna point down. got a plan for that? Link to post Share on other sites
dismemberd Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 From the side it looks really bad, but all the other angles look very professional. It's not tactical enough yet though. You know what to do Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted June 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Souske Thanks. The sides are indeed a little rough; the paint isn't even completely dry yet I'm just too impatient. InsaneJoe Yeah, I purposely made it like that, the rail I have is the AR15 handguard ones, which is slanted to begin with so it is a perfect fit. dismemberd Yeah, it does look weird from the side, I have an idea to fix that though. And I do know what to do Link to post Share on other sites
rwham Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Give me it. Now. PLEASE?! Link to post Share on other sites
UMGuy Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 I was a bigger fan of one of the earlier models. this one looks to lean, too...futuristic, but that is me. It is a true work of art and should go down in airsoft history. Great work donut. Glad it is finally finished, or is it? What sight are you going to put on it? Still the F2000-like sight or something new now? Link to post Share on other sites
SilentScope Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 You should use a sanding block as often as you can to get a consistent surface. Also, I know with my models white out works great as a small-scale filler for little cracks / scratches etc. It dries rock hard after a half hour or so and you can sand it perfectly smooth with 600 grit paper. The only thing with white-out is that I think it might crack under enough stress, like skirmishing. I dont really know because I only use it for my models. You might want to just give it a try But it definitely looks pretty cool right now Link to post Share on other sites

hardboiledcop Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 y'know, If you extended the pistol grip base back into the stock and skeletonised it slightly I reckon it'd look pucka. Link to post Share on other sites
sandstorm Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I'm gonna agree with HBC on that it'd look plenty pucka with slight skeletonization to the stock. But it's neat enough that if I had some extra cash, I'd send you some to fit me one... Althought I'd ask for a slight modification for mine from this... Namely, 'over-barrel silencer sleeve' to make it a FIBUA counter-sniper rifle. Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted June 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Skeleton stock? If I'm thinking what you guys are talking about, then I don't think I could do it, there's not much space left anywhere on the gun, it's as small as possible while still keeping everything inside. But you know what? I do have an over barrel silencer in the works Link to post Share on other sites
sandstorm Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Yea, I can understand that there is no space in the stock to skeletonize into. As for the silencer... I am not surprised at all. The 'heavy barrel' fel that an overbarrel silencer confers fits that gun like mother-of-pearl grips fit on a blued M1911A1... Link to post Share on other sites

Five-sEvEn Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Wow.... Just wow... I haven't followed this project in a while but I'm VERY impressed by the way the top reciever finally went... I really like it!!! I wanna see a scope on the damn thing now!!! Link to post Share on other sites
XaVierDK Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Where did the P90 go?? Did you throw it out or something? I can't see it J/K Incredible work there Donut, I want to fuse my G36 and my P90 now Best Regards Link to post Share on other sites

Grease Monkey. Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Ewww, I don't like the new top rail. It looked better before when it was less futuristic . Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I don't paticularly like the current rail either. It was something that just happened before I decided to change it. Though it's out of my hands now. Thanks everyone for following this since I started; it was really fun. But now it's going to a new home. :cry: waaaaaaaa I didn't even get to skirmish with it, thuogh it probably wouldn't hold up much better than a stock P90 from the lack of upgrades. Now I've got my sights on a new project. Link to post Share on other sites
