Aosen[TK] Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 I'm building my E11 while I wait for my ATA set to be made. So here goes! Here is the kit fresh out of the box! Grip getting epoxied on. Quote
Aosen[TK] Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Posted September 17, 2012 The first half of the stock, magazine and clip. Allen screw in the grip. Second half of the stock. End cap ring. Quote
captsafe66[Admin] Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 Looks like you have a nice start. Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 these go together like a charm. Quote
Aosen[TK] Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Posted September 18, 2012 Aww yeah, another day of building done. Gluing the trigger guard on. Cut and insert a short toothpick piece. Drill a corresponding hole in the piece to be attached. Rear sight is pictured. Epoxy the part and secure. Rinse and repeat! On to the inner barrel. I found that 1/2 inch pvc electric conduit is a perfect fit for the inside of the blaster and 1/2 inch copper pipe is the size I want for the inner part. I drilled out the pvc just enough to make a snug fitting bushing for both ends. Here it is all put together. And finally for today the magazine assembly being epoxied on. Quote
Aosen[TK] Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Posted September 20, 2012 Time for the scope rail and Hengstler bracket. I used the Howto so kindly made by Billhag (http://www.whitearmo...?showtopic=4697)and all went according to plan! Muhahaha! This is the piece of steel I cut the scope rail out of and the untrimmed rail. Here are the rail and bracket after lots of grinding, filing, and drilling. I bent a small tab out at the end of the rail to secure that end down and it works like a charm. The two holes drilled in the bottom of the scope mounts. I liked the look of smoothing out the Hengstler where the bracket attaches and the Dremel made short work of that. I was able to find the screws I needed in the random screws box out in the garage. Hooray for not throwing stuff out! And finally it is complete! (The scope/counter/rail/bracket thing that is) I have to make a trip to the local Ace hardware for a barrel spring, so the day will end with the little stock lock thing getting epoxied on. SO excited to get this thing done! Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 20, 2012 Report Posted September 20, 2012 Looking good there, keep up the good work Quote
Aosen[TK] Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Posted October 14, 2012 So I was not able to find the exact spring I was looking for. BEHOLD, the frankenstein of springs! I crimped two springs that were half as long as the one I needed and it works like a charm. Epoxy ALL the things! I used a drill and dremel to hollow out the folding stock end. After looking around some more I decided to move the bracket forward on the counter . Quote
Aosen[TK] Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Posted October 19, 2012 So this is what I came up with for my bolt. It is a dowel for the local Ace and a machine screw. I drilled a hole in both the dowel and charging handle, then threaded the screw in the handle. The fit is tight enough in the handle that I can screw it in and out of the bolt whenever. Huzzah! My bolt works finally! I decided to use a flat bladed screw driver for the front sight, it's not the most accurate but it looks pretty good. For the end cap lugs I used the same piece of steel that made the scope rail, cut little squares, and super glued them into the cap. The thread that dm101 posted was very helpful for drilling the holes in the stock. For the little nub on the clip I cut the tip off of one my old toy army missiles and glued that on. After that, the dremel made short work of the OFF carved into the clip end.\ THAT'S IT! All that is left is to paint. Unless any of you have something that I have over looked. Quote
Clamps[TK] Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 Looking very nice so far. Well done. Quote
jkno Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 I like the OFF carved onto the magazine Quote
