HELIflipper03 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Its time for another custom project. This may be one of my most challenging. Someone has asked me to make the 454 Casull pistol from the anime Hellsing. My base will be a TM p226 with many polished components and a Guarder raw aluminium kit, to which I will be adding laser etched markings to. To get that enorumous barrel I will be using a square suppressor that fits to the end of the pistol via the outer barrel (this will be polished as well). Any other tips or anything else you can think of that would help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st commando Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 You would be better off basing it on a 1911 or 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitmanNo2 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Sorry, are you making a custom 454 Casull or are you sticking a boxy suppressor on a Sig and polishing everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That damn thing would never have enough gas to cycle. Expand Well, I was going to say, that is incredibly ambitious for sure. I'd be interested to see if it could be done with some sort of hollow framework 3D printed slide. Or you might have to cheat a bit and do a Desert Eagle style fixed barrel in the profile of the slide or like the custom Glocks with the front section of the slide fixed in the place. So it's 454 Casull inspired. Understood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was maybe going to try and find a component that allows the silencer to sit somewhat flush on the front slide, a bit like some of those m9 "rail stabilisers" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A super long slide is going to be such an animal to make it cycle, it'd need to be plastic of some description if it wasn't a show piece. A NBB would remove that complication (and the STTI's are only £40 new). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tackle Posted December 5, 2019 Moderators Share Posted December 5, 2019 I agree, nbb ftw, all very well for the client to insist on what he wants, but just because he's seen it in a cartoon ffs, doesn't make it feasible in the real world, even real steel would be easier to accomplish than airsoft, who's gonna pay for all the failed mock ups while you try to build something that goes against the laws of physics ?. Go back to him & offer him nbb or aep, even then it's like polishing a turd lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Samurai Posted December 5, 2019 Supporters Share Posted December 5, 2019 NBB is a good idea, or split slide, but that still would need to be custom made. Plus not only the slide is long, but the frame too. You and the customer will have to make big compromises. (Make sure the customer knows the price. For ambitious custom requests the customer is usually surprised that a full day of my work and materials costs more than £15.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cromulon1994 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 If it must be a sig, then a TM 226 AEP is probably the only way of doing this and making it look decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
