ianhaz Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Im pretty surprised that this thread is so interesting! Cheap clones seem to bring out the creativeness in all of you. Nice work. Ill put pics of my BE XM8 compact whenever i get the time to finish it! Link to post Share on other sites
DanDan Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 CM.031, not yet done (it has no gearbox atm ) http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a345/FW2...VUrrahUrrah.jpg <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Great looking weapon there, how did you attach that folding stock to it, and does it still fold? I'd guess it was according to the guide on Komanda Groza? Link to post Share on other sites

I'd guess it was according to the guide on Komanda Groza? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks, It's a non-folding skeleton stock, using the guide from Komanda Groza indeed I needed an easy and cheap loaner, for when I bring people along so I didn't bother with the whole folding stock mechanism I could post a parts list of what was modded if wanted..

If you could answer a couple of questions I'd be very grateful, where did you get the stock from and to your knowledge is it possible to attach the folding mechanism as well to retain the function?

FW200 Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Well.. If you could answer a couple of questions I'd be very grateful, where did you get the stock from and to your knowledge is it possible to attach the folding mechanism as well to retain the function? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The stock came from a Guarder Aks-74U, the previous owner replaced the stock on his with a realsteel stock. It's not easy to retain the function, since the real folding mechanism doesn't have enough room in the receiver. Plasticmag managed to make it work but it took him a lot of work. Another option is the Trapperindustries/jonboy2312 method, where the first sells a full folding stock set ( http://www.trapperindustries.com/airsoft/page12.html ). The jonboy2312 method involves DIY, it's essentially the same method though, both use the hinges and locking mechanisms of a 50e Chinese air rifle, but the trapper comes completed while the jonboy2312 method involves doing it yourself like here: http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...showtopic=70492 Offcourse he modified another stock, but it should work with a Russian/Bulgarian triangle folder as well. I don't know if this effort is worth the trouble, I decided it wasn't. The reason for this was cost, it would bring the project closer and closer to a full VFC Aks-74. Also, the lack of a folding stock isn't that much of a problem for me, I couldn't fold it anyway if I had optics mounted, and most of the time you would play with stock extended.

Mike_West Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Matt101, I've got both the Echo1 M733 and M16A4's. I've made the A4 into the M16A2 using the M733 upper (for you bolt counters the Auto is still on but I don't remember if my service weapon said auto or burst on it) The M733 has also become an M933. I've managed to create 2 different guns they have not marketed yet.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> They (JG) market a M16A2 (I'm not sure if it has metal or plastic gearbox) and M933 is not a problem (although this one is made by A&K now).

Darth Maul died before the Clone Wars began. Dooku was the leader of the Separatists, (or Sidious, depending on your POV), then General Grievous after him.

The Crunchy Bunny Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I think my next gun will be a CM031 to modify into a AKM. I was going to mod my CM028S into it but then I relalized it would be to much work. Maybe a RPK or AIM ........ Link to post Share on other sites
dannyboy Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Sadly there aren't any clones of the guns I want currently Roll on good clone GBB's Anyway, some pictures of my old clones. Think I managed to delete quite a few guns after I sold them, so you'll have to make do without Link to post Share on other sites

TerranCmdr Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Lol, what an abomination. I bet the launcher costs more than the gun it's on? Link to post Share on other sites
dannyboy Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Got the launcher for £20 actually Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 My favorite of the my extensive Chinese arsenal. It has given me a few problems. Most of which is the Stock and the screws. My sight screw and gastube screw are stripped and my grips wobble. The dude who put mine togther must have been really stoned. My next Chinese gun will probably be the CM031 to be modified into a AKM. This will one day become something. I'm not quite sure yet. Edit: The black tape in now blue. I can tell you why if your wondering...... Link to post Share on other sites
