Post subject: | Pulse Rifle Build (cont.) |
OK, many thanks for the encouragement from everyone who has so far commented on this project so far. So here is the second installment, the SpaS conversion to the grenade launcher. This purchase was a little on the steep side at nearly £60.00GBP considering the few parts required. It is possible that a cheaper version is available or purchased second-hand. Any way, enough waffle......Here is the build. As it arrived, purchased from the same source as mentioned previously. Attachment: The two parts required are the barrel cage and the slide grip. Attachment: The slide grip needs to be cut down as shown. Attachment: Next the ejection port needs to be cut into the cage side. TAKE CARE---Make sure the port is cut into the correct side of the cage, I cannot stress this to strongly. ( I am fortunate to Have a Snow Wolf M41A PR as reference, so I hope the these images are useful). My ejection port is slightly more square than the Snow Wolf's and was cut in using my trusty dremmel, then sanded. (In hindsight I shoud have filled the two slots in the cage and cut the ejection port more acurately.) Attachment: Attachment:

Your innovation and attention to detail is very impressive! If I might make a suggestion on the shrouds, since you are scratch building them I suggest not fully copying the Snow Wolf template. There are some inaccuracies that you can easily fix. The 3 most glaring are the height/squareness of the rear top, the length of the counter space (which in turn makes the magazine housing too low), and the 'trapezoid' on the front bottom (which is too centered). This is how I modified one set, but in your case you can avoid those issues all together by just tweaking the template drawing. Attachment:

Many, Many thanks, I think it might be a bit too late on this build as I have already cut two of the pieces of ABS. However I have a load of foam board that I will make another shroud out of to your specs. Hope my photos and relevent descriptions are helpful and easy to follow. Cheers Transmission terminated. |
