Hey everyone, this is my first post here. Short introduction, been into airsoft since being shot by one when I was 12, started off with cheap springers and eventually when money permitted bought better gear (one from evike in the US). Now a year ago I came across the snow Wolf M82 AEG and thought damn I'd love that but nope can't afford it but saw on the site they had a Galaxy M82 (.50 cal) spring. So I stupidly bought it and some 0.3 ammo for it. Even took it to the site I play at and somehow got 10 kills with it before saying nope and switching back to my underpowered Umarex. My idea was this. I want to make a blow back or recoil system for this rifle to turn it into a true .50cal sniper that can lob rounds (within limits) and have the insane fear factor the real beast has. So being a humble noob how in the name of RNGEZUS does one do such a thing? XD

How many insanely skilled professional machinists, 3D modellers and GBBr mechanism expert designers/fabricators do you know?  And more importantly how much money do you have to pay them for their extremely valuable time?

None that I know of I'm still really a newbie after 8 years. And hopefully I'll have some spare if my race bike sells. How much are we talking or should I just sell the barret as a movie prop and stick with my trusty L96

Also this abandoned airstrip you play? is this a site or just some land you use?

Just some land me and my mates use. It gets used for all sorts. I don't say that lightly either

I could do it for him.

 

To the OP if you really want to do it I can help. Give me a shout when you have a buyer for your kidney and we will sort a payment plan for the rest.

I don't think my kidney would be of any use, I drink like a Russian. So being honest should I ditch/sell the .50 because even with the hope up taken out 0.3g rounds still curve up

Yea, not feasible. I just finished my Barrett project - $1200, 3 months, and a fair bit of modification later its a nice rifle. Making it blowback... Youd be better off buying a SOCOM barrett.

You get what you pay for. I would think best bet would be having a really good blowback DMR system - which will cost you in the £500-750 to begin with, then using that with custom parts to create a conversion kit (similar to how you get the carbine kits for pistols, but on a much bigger scale), to create the M82. Either way, you're still going to need to employ a couple of good fabricators.

 

The $1200 figure above really isn't far off at all, not a bad cost at all.

 

Of course you could always just buy a plastic 1:1 model to carry around with you, then when nobody's looking whip out a £20 springer pistol, and just blame the wind conditions when you don't hit anyone...

I sold it but took the spring out (chronograph put the rifle and 495fps) to put in my L96
