HuttArmouries Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 So I picked up two very old springers for a couple of pounds and the bodies actually seem quite solid. I think im gonna try and do something with an aep gearbox unless anyone else has any ideas.
Guest Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Looks like you could get a GBB pistol in there

Moderators Tackle Posted November 27, 2019 Moderators Posted November 27, 2019 Surely if you're thinking of chucking a pistol in there, mk23 nbb would be first choice, if there's enough room ?

I also want to make it select fire which isnt going to work with that.

BigStew Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Wouldn't an m9 or m93r gbb/AEP more likely fit?
Moderators Tackle Posted November 28, 2019 Moderators Posted November 28, 2019 Looking at the pic, how does the body come apart ?

Classic cheap springer or nerf gun style I thought that might be the case, which is why I mentioned the mk23 nbb, if that wouldn't fit then I'd look at any other nbb, something that doesn't need access to moving parts in the body, simplest fix would be to bed the pistol in to something like expanding foam in each half, tightly shrink wrap the pistol first to protect it, then it would be easy to trim back excess foam, reseat the gun & screw the two sides together, would be very solid. Obviously it's a bit more involved than I've made it sound, the shell cut out for the pistol grip, ensuring the barrel is correctly aligned etc, but it's what I'd do. While I agree, switchable fire modes etc would be neat, ultimately We're talking about a cheap & fairly fragile shell (luckily you've got two), but it's a bit like trying to make a silk purse from a pigs ear ?. Two bodies, two projects, maybe the first a "sniper" set up, a co2 nbb with an extended barrel might fit the bill, higher FPS but simplified in use, if that works out then plan for something more elaborate with the second body ?. Good luck with whatever you choose, keep us posted with lots of pics. Mark ?
Cromulon1994 Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 Why WE hasn't made one considering it already makes a PX4 pistol is odd.
HuttArmouries Posted November 30, 2019 Author Posted November 30, 2019 cx4 has more in common than the m9 than the px4 really. Uses m9 mags.

HuttArmouries Posted December 1, 2019 Author Posted December 1, 2019 So this looks like a pretty damn good fit. next up is making it select fire and either making room for the safety and possibly making it functional. not sure yet. think its gonna need a new mag release too. also going to rewire it to have a battery compartment in the stock.
HuttArmouries Posted December 1, 2019 Author Posted December 1, 2019 after a lot of trimming the gearbox is sitting ok. going to use epoxy putty to seat it properly. cross bolt safety is a lost cause as the top of the mag goes straight through it. going to cut it in half and just glue the buttons in to fill the holes so it looks right.
HuttArmouries Posted December 1, 2019 Author Posted December 1, 2019 mag release is giving me some issues as the original is too thin for the aep mags. may have to get a friend to 3d print it.
