DIY

Necro-ing this as I have modded my S Thunder Launcher to auto open from pressing the chamber release... Drilled a small hole where I've put the arrow in the picture and installed a spring from a washing line peg which has enough push to open the chamber but not enough to miss-align the chamber from the firing pin.

That looks good bud! I like the retaining chord idea! Hard to do?

[Rogerborg]

That's a nice job.   I like the cord, but should note that I've never needed any extra retention on my Kydex holster for either a TRMR or a Dynatex.  Shaping them round the BFG, then removing it and reheating so that the holster contracts slightly seem to work for me.

 

Yours looks tacticooler though.

Not really it’s all in the preparation ! I made a couple of different shaped paper templates before I formed it so I had a pretty good idea where I was going before I made it .

 

@RogerborgThe ones I make for TRMR’s don’t need the shockcord they hold fine , this one (my first attempt at a Dynatec) I’ve put the bungee on as with out it could ‘jump out’ if I’m hurling myself about but I still want to be able to deploy it as quick as possible so it’s just under enough tension to hold it in but not enough that I can’t pull it off easily and just pop the nade out . 👍

Hmm, thinking about it, mine may actually be too tight.  It takes a good hard tug to... urgh, filth.  I might slacken it off and try a bungie based solution - thanks for the idea.  Which I shall claim as my own if it works.

Funny you say that but i lost a grenade last year due to a pretty shitty kydex holder from a popular place as well!

Made one for my impact grenade using half a silicone tube cut in half 

 

Also started on a 3rd person mount for the go pro today, got to fill Sunday’s without a game

About the camera mount, I have been thinking about making one of these for a while. Nice, I'll be interested to see footage from the finished piece. Also to see how you got on with it/forgetting to allow space for it

So I bought one of these , 

And after a few hrs with scissors and sewing machine I now have one of these a molle dump pouch  .

And with the use of these buckles I can turn it back in to a drop leg dump pouch .👍

Any bottle with a diameter of 2-2.5cm would probably do.  I orginally went with the lemon bottles for the insert, which I am no longer using.  The lemon bottles are 2.5, If I find a bottle that is slightly smaller may try that.

 

BB bottles and water bottles seem a bit too big, could still work , but would need to be more carefull when filling mags/speedloaders.

BB bottle seem to have smaller tops now so will be fine.

I put some knee pads in my tiger stripe trousers.  Stitching is a lot better than my previous attempts.

 Imight do somethiing similar for a holster for an Amoeba 003, looking to use that as a secondary.  Thanks for the inspiration.

Actually should be able to make a nice holster , as you’ve got the strip of ‘stiffner’ Around the top you can make it so the mouth of the holster stay’s open 👍

I had an FPG turn up today without a rear catch. Rare as rocking horse poo, I decided to have a go at making one.

It’s not perfect, but I’m pretty pleased with the result

 

this is the original

 

 

 

The one in front is my copy

 

 

And, again in front, installed

Simple bit of DIY but I am happy with it.

 

So with the TM FNX45 threaded barrel being 16mm CCW, I wasnt happy how with the 16>14 adaptor made it look with a Lighter S tracer. It felt too long and just ruined the look for me

 

Sorry for Potato quality photos!

 

Before

 

After

£1.50 worth of 32mm Black Push Pipe cut down to size and some sniper tape (which I will dirty up) - I think this looks much better.

The tracer end cap is still unscrewable to get to the recharge and to turn it on, I just need to use an allen key to reach down (slide end) to press the button.

Pistol looks much better now
