Governor Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi, I will be making my own 'custom' gun (as in putting the parts I buy together myself etc.), will I have to two tone the body as my parents are NOT UKARA registered? Sorry if this is common question, I just wanted to make sure. Thanks, Albert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerbo Knight Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 As most people make their custom guns M4 based, if this is the case PLEASE PLEASE, get a clear body. It's so much more tasteful than a two tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerbo Knight Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Nope, but try to get one if possible. Maybe second hand from someone who's CA sportline is broken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-UK Founding Member Deva Posted June 6, 2011 AF-UK Founding Member Share Posted June 6, 2011 Bit of a grey area really. To be honest you're manufacturing a RIF if you don't do the transparent bit and no one has any guarantee that you will two tone it for yourself. It's like shops selling RIF's and saying "oh by the way, give that a quick spray of a bright colour when you get home just so that we're all legal" - doesn't work like that.

Cerbo Knight Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Thanks, and I will be spraying the receiver green as well as the carry handle You'll probably be best off spraying the receiver + stock/hanguard. Just to be on the safe side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AF-UK Founding Member Deva Posted June 6, 2011 AF-UK Founding Member Share Posted June 6, 2011 The same still applies. If it's obvious you're ordering bits to assemble a gun then it's just going to look like a RIF, saying "I will be spraying the receiver green" isn't anything solid. As much as I can see you are a regular airsofter, you're only option is for your parents to buy you a 2-tone (with none of your money going into it) from what I can see.

Cerbo Knight Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Admittedly, a huge grey area, but if you don't buy all the parts in one go you won't need a UKARA number. Don't think I'm advocating avoiding the law though, I'm not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted June 6, 2011 Supporters Share Posted June 6, 2011 Well its a very grey area, of the law. Technically yes, you can but keep it two toned- upper, lower and stock should be fine. Spray the receivers before assembly though Saying that, I.wouldn't advise it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted June 6, 2011 Supporters Share Posted June 6, 2011 or even ask the retailer to spray the parts for you? Like Cerbo said, if you can source some Clear body parts, you'd be onto a winner with that. try looking around forums for old clear parts that people replaced once they are UKARA'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerbo Knight Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I wouldn't bother. ICS are notoriously incompatible with everything. You'll need to modify 99% of your parts to fit it, and probably not worth it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZKaleem Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 what you can do albert, is...actually they mentioned everything. um Basically Before assembly, get Jason, to spray all parts or source all the parts inc. the clear body, if not, buy the clear stock and pistol grip then look for as much clear things to use as poss! And then possibly ask Cerbo to fit it, as he can do it properly without screwing everything up (Hopefully including my 416...if not i want my money back, which probably wont be needed but yeah ) and that way you have a nice new gun, as you said, just get G&P parts and DEFINITELY Tokyo Marui because they are just too amazing, CA parts would be great and to keep it running good, i tell you now, ditch G&G parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted June 14, 2011 Supporters Share Posted June 14, 2011 Zak, have you been listening to marksman again? use whatever you want to use inside, but for a truley custom gun, you want to do EVERYTHING, inside and out.

Cerbo Knight Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 If he'd been listening to Marksman that much, he'd just be saying "Don't worry about the internals, as long as it's not G&G but just paint it OD." Or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerbo Knight Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I like EOtechs though Well, I don't like 552's. But I like a few of their models, they look nice and they're somewhat practical. I've had their 551 and 553 so I should know Though I do want a real steel one, that would be something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
