Gun picture thread

Done a few projects in the meantime. First, I *finally* found a Kaiju; the gun that originally got me into new-gen KWAs before the seller backed out and I ended up buying my Black Cherry TK45 a few years back. Well, now I have the Kaiju as well after all these years. It was a store display model too so its like new, and the seller had a set of mags cerakoted to match, so I have the full set of 7.

I have also worked out all the kinks on my converted APS CAM870 mk2. Mods include a bunch of dremelling to take a HPA tap, cutting through a QD sling point to route the line, two MatchSavers mounted to the side of the new Magpul handguard for quick topping off, some modifications to fit both a APS shell-catcher and top rail, a +1 printed mag tube extension, and some smaller bits and pieces scattered throughout. I also have been working with biodegradable filaments to print short-lifespan shotshells that can be fired and left behind; the bio PETG works decently but I want to try the algae-based PLA as well. Here it is in action:

And the tons of shells Ive been printing and testing:

My latest purchase to swap the MP5K with on my loadout. Plan on mounting a M600 scoutlight onto it as the G&P flashlight handguards are like hens teeth.

Just trying to decide whether to put optics on it, or leave it with the iron sights? Removed the flash hider and swapped out the M4 style buffer tube stock it came with which will end up for sale as it made it look too modern for me View attachment 114165

 
So another British rifle added to the collection. 

To most its nothing special. 

"Just another M16vn"..... 

But here I have started to build a colt model 604. As issued to the British army in the late 60s, early 70s. 

Now the 604 is something of a Frankensteinian. It's neither a M16VN (XM16) or the later M16A1 (model 602).

Main differences are compared to either the xm16 (VN) or the 602 (M16A2). 

The 604 comprises of a xm16 stock with a pivoting sling mount. Not the static version fitted to the later model 602. 

It also sports a partial fence. 

The XM16 was known as a slab side, where the 602 was a Full Fence. 

It also comes with an A1 barrel but still uses the early 3 prong (duck bill) flash hider. 

The British version also came with just plain export markings, aswell as being painted black with a paint called Suncorite. 

Now mine is still a work in progress.

Ive had the markings filled. 

I'm still to source the correct rear sling mount, as well as the chromo smooth fake bolt. 

I then tried to replicate the suncurite paint best I could. As the real paint was just slapped on. I tried the same but in the pics looks smoother than it actually is. 

Only other thing is slings. 

Early version came with AR15 slings. But very quickly guys swapped these out for SLR slings. So will look at that in the future too.

Next up. 

A British colt model 701. 

To most its just a M16A2.... 

It is, but not quite. 

Main difference being, the fire selection. 

The US issued A2 was colt model 702. 

Which externally are identical apart from the 702 was 3 round burst. Where the British issued 701 was full auto. 

Pictured here in use during OP barras in 2000. 

As far as I'm aware these where only purchased in small numbers, compared to the earlier colt model 715 (C7) which is still in wide use today.

With mine, I've replicated the correct export markings along with with the correct "auto" one. 

Upper is just a standard G&P upper with a real A2 handguard.

The rifle in the vid is the colt model 715. Later known as the C7. 

I built mine a few years ago with help from Jonathan ferguason. 

He's helped me out with my 604 too. 

Got another project he's helped with in the pipe line too haha. 

Just to bore you about hahaha. 

The 715 in the video is very unique. 

It has mainly A2 features. 

But the upper is odd. It has an A1 rear sight, but has a A2 brass deflector. 

Also another M16 A2 with the auto selection. 

Was originally bought by the sas, but is now in use with pathfinders, paras and royal marines. 

Here's the one I built while back.View attachment 114403

 
Was more about the YT page content, he has several detailed video's regarding britains use & purchase of the AR15 series.

 
Current pistol collection. A day off today so I though my I’d gather them all for posterity. I did manage to miss the Desert Eagle and Hi Capa 5.1, but you’ve all seen one of those…

Finally managed to get home and fit the VFC handguard to the MP5 and ditched all the MLOK...apart from the charging handle as who knows what UPS are doing with it but hopefully will turn up before Sunday!

Think MP5s look so much better with the older furniture and think this will suit my Sheriff loadout better than with the MLOK...but happy with the crazy rate of fire on the CM041J!! Just need to get all MLOK sold off so i can do the same to the MP5K i have!

 I felt the need to show this one off.

After years of searching I somehow managed to stumble upon this wonderful TM Aug A1 with the steel HBAR kit with the correct bipod and flash hider. Not sure how rare these kits are but I’ve only come across a small hand-full of these. Just wish I could get myself a drum mag for it it.

The inner barrel is a ridiculous 655mm in length

What has been done to it?
Click to expand...
Full SHS compression parts and gears I believe - not sure what ratio just went with whatever he thought was best for the gun.

Warhead brushless motor.

Perun hybrid v2 mosfet.

rotary hop with macaron 60° bucking and zci barrel.

shoots about 340fps on a .20 and hops .32s with ease nice and far
