Hi Chris,

 

why are you making grips also? They still can be bought for 20 bucks. 

 

Want to go under that price, or "cause i can"?

[fieldmarshall]

True ,  but they are becoming harder to get ... the  guys i know in the gun surplus business are all running very very low... I am planning to use them on all my upcoming paintball guns and launcher builds .... I can make use of them in several other projects as well .. its a cool grip that no one really uses any more... Retro appeal

And yes i wanted to see if i could do it , the checkering has really become a crusade/challenge  ..

Found a few vintage resistors for my cylinder builds,,, i like using the old carbon 60s and 70s stuff.. It makes the array look real and the leads that I cut off are used on the metalmite caps so the wire is vintage.....

 

Getting harder to find them in quantity

That is amazing. Your E-11 will look like it came off the set in 1977. Great work.

[fieldmarshall]

Got another M19 for a future real steel build!

[fieldmarshall]

[Bulldog44[TK]]

Where do you find your newest M19? You have had really good luck getting scopes. Would love another M19 or M32 but no luck seeing them for a reasonable price when they rarely pop up. Your latest catch is in really nice condition.

There are no deals on these scopes anymore....LOL

too many people looking... i got real lucky

[fieldmarshall]

Made some replica m38 screws

[fieldmarshall]

Im going to make the m19 hex mounting screws next... 

[Bulldog44[TK]]

Chris, those mounting screws look amazing! I had attempted to had some custom made but the cost was insane. They look spot on! <br>

If you are making a large batch of these and the M19 hex ones, would you consider selling them in small orders? Interested in them for my resin scope kits. I have not found anything out there that come close to those screws.<br>

Can't wait to see the hex screws.

[Twnbrother]

You continue to impress. Great work Chris. I cannot wait to see the full completed kit. Count me in as one of the first buyers. Lol

[SeanTX]

On your nose caps, I see you have decided to make the rounded end of the tube part of the nose cap. Does that mean you couldn't figure out how to roll the end of the tube? We had been thinking on that in another thread for a long time with no solutions.

[fieldmarshall]

Brian ,,,Im going to offer all this gear I make to contract builders so they can continue making great stuff... Ill have the m19 big hex screws by the end of the week also

Its almost impossible with alum,,, i didn't even try.. the alum is not as easy to form as steel (IT guals and stretches)... Its the same problem trying to form the metalmite capacitors with real rubber bungs ... There is a alot of money and engineering in the forms they used ...(helmets off to the very smart people that did that during a terrible war) After a good paint job it will look great... I do not think anyone will be able to tell the radius is on the end piece and not the tube... It make assemble alot easier too....

 

"""""YOU HAVE A GREAT EYE TO CATCH THAT ONE SEANTX """"",im impressed LMAO... I LOVE THIS  

The steel tube could be done,, But like i remind everyone the presses and tooling to do some of the parts they made are still even by todays standards ,,, very high tech and expensive .... Just look at my grip molds im doing ive been working on those for 6 months or more...and there for plastic not metal!

[SeanTX]

Yeah some of us have steel pipes from a dday run. And with a real endcap it fits but no one knows how to get the roll right. Its one of the road blocks I'm waiting to figure out in my ultimate building.
