Prophet106 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 So i've been working feverishly for the past few days on a scout carbine . . . I wanted it to look E-11ish so it 'sat well' with the star-wars universal weapons. The receiver is from an airsoft M4 with the selector switch and forward assist removed. I have also cut down and filled the magazine-well. The stock is a tippmann A5 folding paintball gun stock. I had to dremel the hell out of it to get it to fit. The front end is hand-made from bits i had lying around. Some 40mm pipe, lengths of thin plastic tubing and a few other bits and bobs to make the front-sight/muzzle. Im going to placing some led's on the inside with a few clear bits of plastic on the outside, these will be wired to the trigger. There is also a red laser in the muzzle which will activate when the trigger is pulled It still needs some filling, sanding and painting as well as a horizontal magazine (where the ejection port is). I also have a resin 'tank scope' on the way (same as an E-11) which will be mounted on top. I'll add more progress pics as and when . . .

Prophet106 Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 Right . . . Finished the magazine, housing, scope rail and scope. Still lots of filling and sanding to do. Its also going to be much blacker when its finished. The chrome is just a base-coat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDOG Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I really like your magazine...how did you make that? J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet106 Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 A spare off-cut of wooden decking i had kicking around in the garden Cut it to the right sort of shape, caked it in filler then sanded it down. Dremelled a few grooves in it to make it look 'magazine-ish' and added a few strips of plastic around the base where it meets the receiver to make it look like a magazine-well. Then hosed it down in chrome It'll be a lot darker when ive finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
