Now with correct bipod, modified (lowered) scope mount and genuine HK navy lower.

Very nice ! GBB ? and if so, how tricky was it to fit the genuine lower ?

Yes, it's a VFC/Umarex GBB.

The lower was a direct fit. I just bought the empty lower and the VFC trigger pack dropped straight in. You do need a matching fire selector for the navy lower as it's longer than the one for stamped lowers. Only took a couple minutes to swap over.

Thanks. I'm tempted to do the same on my WE/Umarex one.

It's worth doing if you prefer the navy lower. Very easy to swap over.

I bought the parts from HK Parts in the US. They won't ship internationally though, so you need someone in the US to ship the parts on to you.

What mix of base rifle and parts did you use for the SD conversion?

 

[Darkmikey22]

What mix of base rifle and parts did you use for the SD conversion?

So main rifle is a classic army sar41 (mc51). 

The front end was a classic army MP5 SD. 

It takes a bit of work to get it all to fit. 

Some stick with just the mp5 cocking lever. But wanted to keep it realistic and used the G3 one. So had to elongate the slot for the cocking lever. 

Then you have to do a bit of cutting and filing on the inside to fit the mp5 front end. 

The sd handguard has to be dremeled wider at the back too, to fit over the g3 body.

View attachment 141370Despite wanting to sell on my LCT G3...I have ended up getting several HK rifles from them and today ended up with a second G3 but this time a G3A4 just trying to decide if I should mount anything on them as I am thinking add a bipod and scope to the G3A2 using a HK STANAG mount I have seen for sale online (£180 ?) and maybe an ACOG or Aimpoint Comp M2 on the A4 as I think that HKs look so much better with old style accessories?

I have willpower but sometimes it goes AWOL like the part of my brain that processes financial responsibilities......

 

[ButcherBill]

If you're keeping them old school then just a claw mount and period correct scope, if you fit a modern rail or hand guard the the world is your lobster(sic), an LLM1 is the desired accessory IMO without going all 2010 on it.

Oh, Boy... you should see the other walls.

TBH, you probably have already

Was an old pic so here is my battle rifle section as of 5 mins ago.

Yep I have seen them before, but I do love a battle rifle, especially my old comrade the SLR.

Weirdest thing is that I've never got round to getting the airsoft version, although I have got a FAL which kinda close?

 

[ButcherBill]

My SLR was the start of a financially crippling hobby.

I love that M14. I really want to pick up that one in the classifieds to go with the CAR-15 I just got but I should really finish some of the ones I have before I get more

Nah, you should buy it.

I want an M14 too actually. ?

 

[ButcherBill]

It was a two tone from BBguns4less, always planned it to be a wall hanger so quality wasn't an issue.

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 ?
