mlinetzky Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I'm building a DC-15x this summer and I've seen people use MG-42s, but I can't afford a real one. Will this work? Master weapon builders please share your 2 cents! https://p10.secure.hostingprod.com/@www.cushmanpaintball.com/ssl/202.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdwtrpr13 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 now I'm not a master builder, nor do I know 2 licks about this company but....if what I see in those pictures is right that looks like it has a fair bit of detail. though may be a good choice. one of the Vets should chime in before you purchase though.

EnigmaEngine Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I would avoid them. http://thefordreport.com/2012/11/concerning-cushman-custom-creations/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlinetzky Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Thank you so much!!! For sure not ordering it now. What do you suggest I use for the back end and stock? Just wood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NegativeEleven Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 There's many threads on the 501st forum where people complain about the quality of CushmanCreations or say that they mailed a check and never heard back from them. As for building it yourself, check out Gaunt's thread http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=11793. There's pictures of my DC-15x build and his DLT-19 build. Unfortunately, neither is done yet. Mine is 3 layers of 3/4" pine. I don't exactly have a template because Silverboyd cut it out as he was cutting out his own DLT body. The DC is different, so I had a lot of free-hand sanding and carving to do. You can find the WOF templates for the MG-42 (although a lot of people will be quick to point out that the DC15 is not exactly built like that) posted several places (hell, I'll just put a link to the one on my webhost) and you'll notice a scale at the bottom. That's one meter, broken up into 10 sections and the small checkered squares are 1cm each. I dropped that image in Adobe Illustrator and scaled it till it matched, so I could quickly reference the sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I would suggest you take a look at my build thread, on the DC. The MG really is different and no good as a base in my eyes. The stock and main body shape will work, but the barrel is not the same at all, neither are the main body greblies. I would go completely from scratch mate and get it right. Glad to help along the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
