Custom Builds
Re: Custom Builds
Here is a little bit of my work:
Matthews Armament (Weapons-Builds)
Custom M249 Ranger (Unstoppable Build):
Nothing to special here in the way of Aesthetics but internally it is the most solid AEG and by far one of the most reliable support weapons I have ever seen. I built it specifically for dependability and gave it a "To-Hell-And-Back" Paintjob to accent its ruggedness.
RPK "Fakelite" Mags (Imitation Bakelite Instructional):
Here is a link to the Instructional Guide.... cheap and easy way to make your imitation bakelite mags look realistic
http://ncairsoft.org/forum/showthread.p ... quot-Guide
Custom AMD-65 Build (Real Steel Bulgarian Parts):
Parts Kit:
These DO already exist in airsoft but they are over $400 for the LCT kit and the CYMA version isn't due out on the US market for a few months, so I made my own using real steel parts and it turned out cheaper.
A few more irregular Kalashnikovs
Custom AKS-74 (Wood Treatment & Sight Rail):
Nothing too complicated just not an AK variant you see all the time
Hungarian AK-74:
RPKs-74 Underfolder (Commando/Shortened):
Custom MAR Build (Shrike Upper / Modular Automatic Rifle):
MAR 150rd 5.56mm Soft-Pouch (CB Cordura):
Polarstar SOPMOD Kit (Block 1, 2, & 3):
Latest Custom Build... MK48 MOD1 7.62mm SAW
FN MK 48 Mod 1 (Real Steel Reference):
Custom Airsoft Version (Echo1 / G&P):
Decided to build this since no airsoft manufacturer has introduced one yet. It differs from the M249 (MK46) in that is it chambered for 7.62mm NATO and used a different gas tube, soft-pouch box mag, and barrel.
Until I come up with something else...

Love the AMD and especially the Shrike. Great job on all of them!
I do not always accidentally, but when I do, I accidentally the whole thing.

Re: Custom Builds
These parts are not on the way to my house yet, looking for anyones suggestions before I order. I will be cramming these parts into a King Arms MOE M4.
Re: Custom Builds
I feel as if you could get those cheaper..

Re: Custom Builds
This is without the coupon code entered. with that entered it comes to 195.45 I will also hunt around on other sites but GI has the Magic Box parts I want in stock, anyone rarely does.

Re: Custom Builds
Shopping at one place may not be in your best interest, regardless of the coupon code.
But if you're 100% set on GI, here's some advice.
Never use a piston you can see through.
http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.p ... ts_id=6246
http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.p ... ts_id=5771
Both of these pistons are good choices.
Metal piston heads are bad ideas, avoid them.
http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.p ... ts_id=9999
And that's only if you don't get the JG piston listed above.
It's very, VERY unfortunate that you only have those $50 13:1 gearsets available.
Getting a new cylinder is only necessary if there is something wrong with the stock cylinder.
http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.p ... cts_id=148
There's another option to save money, if you have to get a cylinder.

Re: Custom Builds
Why are you opting for Magic Box and Echo1?
SHS double O-ring cylinder head: $7.50
?? aluminum O-ring nozzle: $4.00
Aluminum ball bearing Super Shooter piston head: $6.00 *or* Lonex POM bearing head for $15
SHS 3/4 volume cylinder: $8.00
SHS 13:1 gears: $17.00
That's $50ish (from Clandestine Airsoft) versus $114 for parts that are basically identical. I didn't put a piston on there, but there are plenty of options in the $10-15 range.

Re: Custom Builds
Only reason I didn't suggest parts from Clandestine is cause the gears are out of stock. They also have cheaper/better motors than what GI has. You will save more money if you go elsewhere than you will if you stick with ALL of your order being from GI.

Re: Custom Builds
Yes I understand the piston issue. The gets came with it but I have a few poly carb pistons sitting on my bench I can use. All the shopping at GI was just what I could find in stock, also, the savings on shipping plus the coupon code cuts quite a bit off the final price. The cylinder was put in to keep all the compression parts under the same maker as the where specifically made to compliment each other. I will take suggestions on a motor however as this post was intended for advice, as well as the gears. Thanks guys.

MAC-11 PDW I made yesterday. It's a TF MAC 11 with an M14 RIS, a walmart RDS, and an old crosman MP5 stock. It actually works surprisingly well.

That has got to be the single ugliest gun I have ever seen.
