The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

 Post subject: G&P Metal upgrades?
PostPosted: Sun Apr 16, 2006 2:47 am 
Anyone ever try to adapt aftermarket stock and barrel vent to a G&P kit.
I have a customer who's having a hard time with the mod.
I don't own one so I'm not sure how one should proceed.

Not I. Most everyone I knew who built the kit used the factory parts and lived with the inaccuracy (compared to the film versions).

May be you can find out where he's having problems ? I think may be Rogue Russ or Matt Noble will have some ideas about where the incompatibilities lie ..

I've done it. Couldn't live with the weak links and
non-working GL.

The stock is fairly easy. You can use Russ's website as
reference.

As for the barrel vent and triangle that is a whole beast
in itself. It could be possible with some of my 3d printed
parts.

front view-you can see the adapter for the light gate in
the middle.

this is the part you see above

this caps off the rear of the adapter and protects the LEDs.

this is the barrel collar adapter to insert into the large
aluminum block of the G+P kit.

Other parts needed is a strip of aluminum and the gas pipe
for the barrel.

A lot of work and dremeling, it is possible. (All SD metal parts)

I can try to help your customer if they want to contact me.

Another Matt

Well I think his biggest dilema is the light gate.
I directed him here so lets see if he shows up.
