That was my thought too, though not in relation to the EM-2 which I have to admit is a real outlier. On the other hand, how many years did we wait for a Bren LMG? especially after someone had already produced a ZB-26! I've never really understood why manufacturers choose the models they do.

When the idea first crossed my mind building a shell around an existing AEG was the idea, like the Aliens rifle around a Thompson. But the EM-2's unique shape rearwards of the mag well meant nothing would really fit. Weirdly the closest was the Real Sword type 97! 🙃with a SVU as runner up. (searching... found it!) Doing it again, completely from scratch, is not going to be done by me. Maybe a company that already makes specialised CNC parts? with an Airsoft enthusiast boss?

When I had mine, I felt the pistol grip was a bit, plasticy and bendy and adding some tape made it feel a bit more rigid. Unless you're planing on adding hand warmers I can't see it doing anything to improve performance.

I have my MP7 set up with that exact same handguard and foregrip, funnily enough. They're plenty grippy for a mildly damp day. Not sure if you're planning to join the SBS and become a frogman or something.

If anything , I’d be putting ranger bands on the grips, a couple of them twisted and layered will provide grip and not absorb moisture

there might be a model, maybe a commission basis kind of thing especially if you're game to build whatever gun the client wants rather than specifically an em2, that way the market becomes "anyone who'd buy a custom gun for £££" rather than "people who'd buy a custom em2 for £££" ofc that would involve every project pressing the reset button on all the design and development work, so the hours involved in that are going to up the bill and you might not want to go through it again, but it might also mean being able to take shortcuts if the particular order can use modified doner(s) rather than an entire scratch build.

Not a fan of the tape either, kills the aesthetic

I suppose we could argue/assume that the big players in airsoft would have developed one already if there was sufficient demand, and smaller players migh not due to costs. It's a shame really but we can live in hope.

I'm not sure how far back the automatic renewal system is pulling ads from, so if someone has had say 90 ads, will it keep drawing from that historical pool ?, would 81 have to be deleted before it allowed a new ad to be added ?. Sorry, im not much help, all in can say is Proffrink is pulling his hair out over the issues, but is working hard to resolve them for the benefit of all the forums members.🙏

This NGAL & the night vision sight, does anyone know if there are any airsoft clones?

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 🙂
