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!

There used to be a site, I believe it was Rooks Castle, that had several tutorials. One was building a new latching mechanism for the stock using the spring and pin from the airsoft Thompson's stock. The site seems to be gone though. Anyone save the pictures from that or have a link to something similar? Looking to help out a friend.

The way HCG did it was similar, but a much broader and much less elaborate plastic 'push button'.

Thanks for those. That should help them out. Do you know what happened to Rooks site? He had several tutorials on PR's.

Ah, I've been wondering how they accomplished that.
Does anyone know if the stocks retracted and locked on the actual live fire props?

Sorry, I've been busy with life, and my web hosting frankly, sucked (Godaddy's FTP client works... when it wants to.)

I'll see if I can dredge up the info for you all.

From the left menu, look under Tutorials (movie props) -> adding a metal stock.

I'm a total noob to mechanics of the pulse rifle. i know whats in one. but getting the parts together is were I'm exploring right now. hope you guys wouldn't mind me poking my head in here once and awhile and asking question's. I have a deep appreciation for this weapon and would like to make one.
