In my experience tape like that only helps with grip if the area you're putting it on is smooth plastic. What it's good at is absorbing water and unraveling so it can get caught on bushes

You've basically just covered over the two pieces meant to help with grip, with something that will wear down pretty fast - Even more so if it gets wet

Thank you. What you're saying is pretty much what I suspected and have been told by a couple of people, and the last comment did make me chuckle 😄 Mind you I really understand now why it takes so long for Marui et al to design and produce any new model, rather than iterations of M4/AK/G36 etc. types that they already have the main designs and tooling for, let alone finding enough actual consumer demand for something that would make business sense to produce. Thank you 🙂 I haven't really worked out the true costs at this point. I couldn't do it accurately anyway unless I finish the 'snagging' on the prototype, and sourcing some items rather than just using what I happened to have from some years back may be a problem. Case in point is the optical sight. I happened to have a little 10mm diameter optic that was apparently part of a test rig for the swingfire missile system from the 1970's. It was just about the right size for the EM-2 and fitted within the conical shroud nicely. However finding any similar size modern version that will fit has eluded me the few times I've searched. Machine time, tool breakages, man hours and so on as you point out are unknowns for a 'production' version, rather than my try, try swear at it, hit it, curse it, bleed on it and try again approach to the prototype 🙂

Hello Selling to justify another purchase. Has been upgraded by negative. he added the dong and wire stock to it and a weathered finish, aster MOSFET and upgraded gears. When I received it back the hop arm adjuster was trapped in the front of the receiver. I cut it so I could adjust it, but suspect it will come lose when firing(like most AKs with the same hop up come to think of it but more frequently) Contents gun, 3x 50 round mid caps work fine but the 6x 100 round mi caps don't sit in correctly for some reason, I think abit of filing would fix the issue. I have spent a lot of money on this and never fielded it. Due to the listed issues I'm trying to price accordingly. Free postage180.00 GBP

Hello Selling to justify another purchase. Iv had this for quite a while. Was recently upgraded by negative. Can't remember exactly what he done, but it cost a pretty penny. Aster MOSFET and upgraded gears is all I can remember. Although it does need a new hop rubber I think as the accuracy isn't great. Heavy weathering finish. Contents, gun, 4x mid caps. Free postage160.00 GBP

Hi, I got this as part of a deal when I bought a RIF and dont need it so I thought I would sell it on. Due to an issue with my RIF some of the foam was struck so I removed the damaged bits but this didn't seem to affect how well it works. The price does not include postage,which would be £5.40.00 GBP

My playstyle is typically really mobile, including laying down or getting into the bushes - and with the November rain coming up I thought I’d start using tape. Does it generally help with wetter weather or more of an aesthetic thing?

I think it's a one man band who barely seems fazed. The only sign of life there was someone doing anything was when the site went down for a couple of weeks then went online again.

So pricing is how much are raw materials? how much is the machine time? how many man hours goes into making it. If you can make a shell for less than a couple thousand I'll be impressed. Also that is beautiful work.
-
Probably mod privileges give me delete options, send me a few urls of ads you want rid of, we'll see if it works ?
-
How did you do that as I can only hide.

The first step would be to work out what it would cost you to build, rolling in the lessons learned from making your first one. I suspect that that cost would be pretty steep, and unfortunately the market will probably be smaller than it appears. The number of people who will say they'd pay £££ for a high quality unicorn and the number of people who would actually follow through when the time comes wont be the same. That isnt to say you shouldnt do it, because it is cool af and looks like you're making a proper quality product. I am absolutely here for anything that dilutes the pool of ar derivatives.
