TB-1599 Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Hello troopers. While I wait for costume pieces to arrive. I had an idea for a custom carbine/sniper I could use for non official events... I just wanted to share some in progress pictures. I don't have access to the cool toys or gear to create things from scratch, so I have to repurpose things I can get my hands on. (In other words this is another Nerf mod LOL) The gun is the new Nerf Alphahawk, this thing just screams sniper. The scope is just a 7.00 scope from Walmart. I just installed a piece of 3/4" PVC I just loosened the screws on the frame put the PVC in and tightened the screws. It clamps down on the PVC perfectly. I added a coupler on the end to act as a flash suppressor. It makes a decent carbine. With the coupler I can add the extension and it makes a pretty cool looking sniper rifle. Now it just needs to be painted... Thoughts, Constructive crit.
Retrofire Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 That looks great! Adam Savag did a great Nerf mod that you can find on You Tube under Tested. There is also a thread here about the mods some of the folks have done. Look forward to seeing some progress on this rifle. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
TB-1599 Posted March 24, 2017 Author Posted March 24, 2017 Yea. I have seen the video. Really cool looking
rhino325 Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 That looks amazing--what paint colors did you use?
TB-1599 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Posted March 28, 2017 it's all Rust-oleum paint. A coat of primer, Where it's all black I did a coat of metallic silver, then Matt Black on top, The silver Cylinder has a coat of black with the silver on top.
TB-1599 Posted April 8, 2017 Author Posted April 8, 2017 was messing around with another scope I have. Which configuration do you think looks best? A. B. C. Or D.
Retrofire Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 I like the first one better. Nice work on both though!
