What have you made?

Well one of the reasons I got my recent Tanaka was that is had a Spartan hop but for some reason, the standard nozzle. This meant it didn’t seal well with the Spartan hop, with inconsistent fps. Long out of production, someone sent me the correct length of the Spartan unit. Measured the Tanaka stocker, then whizzed this up on my lathe in 20 mins. Let’s see how it tests!

When all you have is a hammer, every problem is a nail.

When you have a lathe, a mill and a welder, everything is whatever the hell you want it to be.

The only reason I miss my old job, as well as my own workshop I had access to 4 others, correction 5, & pretty much every tool under the sun, cnc mills to plasma cutters to mini diggers, & everything in between.

20 years of reckless spending and i have a better equipped workshop at home than any place i've worked. It's nice to be able to go into the garage and fix or make anything.

(Shame i don't own the house. ☹️)

Ironically, what tools i have at work fit in the boot of my little Peugeot runaround.

 
Some time next year there'll quite possibly be at least one AEG retail option show up I'd imagine, there's already at least 1 MWS kit I've seen.  Obviously anyone who wants a project can get a lot to sink their teeth in to with these, but if you just want a 403 for the lowest cost vs spending a lot of time and money on a build, I feel like the very end of 2024 could be a risky time to start (speaking more to the lurkers here, I know you like building stuff @Anonymoose).

I've already picked a basis for it, a GBBR SR-16E3 CQB MOD2 from VFC.

So I started buying in chicom rigs and stuff as some of you may have noticed but this was all a ploy so I could get them myself cheaper XD. So ive started modding this one to use with my vfc m16a1 and xm177. Foam spacers in the bottom of the pouch so the mag sits right and I made some tabs to close the pouch out of my leatherworking scraps. As much as the original toggles are cool I dont trust them to hold my £40 gas mags.  I didn't bother with neat as you can probably tell but It is plenty strong. Having an industrial leatherwork sewing machine on hand is fun XD. Im considering swapping a grenade pouch out for a holster but I'm not sure what to do with the other. Any ideas?

Solved the long G3 top rail issue as I was finding it not only difficult to find a B&T one, they are also expensive 

Grabbed two long G3 rails from amazon they are about £12.99 each 

Cut one in half and used the acog to help clamp two together, as well as using each one to clamp to the upper ?

Finally I can put this on here.

(I didn't make it or take the pic and it's not airsoft, just to be crystal)

So I really like the look of some of the metal 3d printed flow through suppressors and I needed a longer barrel and handguard setup for the ghm 9 I picked up cheap. As much as the integrally suppresed kit lambda sells does look cool it kinda ruins the gun for me because it makes it so much longer. So this suppressor will be the base for me to make something a little more compact. Starting on the handguard to go over it tonight. This one in particular sleeves over the original barrel. Once I have the design finished I may make one to go on other airsoft guns and slap it up for sale somewhere.
