well i promised pics, and KA-BAR always keeps his promises.



i painted the gun in a two tone fashion very similar to what Booligan did in his build. but i opted for a OD finish instead of a Khaki/sand. the gun is pretty much done cosmeticly, but internaly there is still some room left to upgrade and tinker.



i really liked how this turned out. i kept a few parts still black, like the trigger, rear ghost ring sight, and the front sight post. the rear scope cap, and the safety.





for shits and giggles i mounted a small RIS rail on the front end so that i can mount a PEQ-15. not only does it look sexy but it fits the impression quite well. soon i will get a actual adjustable green laser that i can use to paint targets.

over all like i have said before, i am really happy with what i accomplished here. if you see me wielding this at a game and want a closer look feel free to step up.


thanks for all the views and comments.









KA-BAR out

looks good, morg. glad to see some use out of that scope. is that rail mounted with just JB weld? how solid is it?

[KA-BAR]

yea, its just JB weld. i used a file to rough up the outter barrel. then i totally filled the RIS rail with JB weld untill it was level with the bottom, maybe a little overflowing. i used the LBW that sets in 4 mins so i had to work quickly. it took me like three tries to get it bore sighted, and to be honest it still isnt quite there. but you know what, its bleeding airsoft and i will use some good ol kentuckey windage if i have to.

once i got it to sit on there flat as possible i let it cure over night. shit is solid as a rock. guess ill find out how solid when i drop it.

this was the first time i ever used JBW so the job looks really messy .....like some poor SOB bleeding tac welded the rail onto a barrel....LOL.

Very nicely done and well executed. I like the thought and craftsmanship that went into this. BTW, good on you for not reacting to that earlier poster's inappropriate comments; not like you are asking for people's advice on which sub $100, 400 fps starter gun to buy...

[Beran]

the JB doesnt look too bad, kind of resembles a weld. if you want, you can clean it up with a dremel and repaint it. looks fine to me though.

Very cool! I have an MB02 that I have yet to decide what to do with, and this looks like a really interesting build idea.
