I saw those on eBay, but wasn't sure they'd fit, and I was impatient to build the PR, so went with what I had.


[ITV version] "I say we grease this rat, fat, son-of-a-bitch right now!"

You can still pry out the shell. It's only glued on and then epoxy a grenade in there. I made the mistake of using hot glue the first time. My shell came loose and rattled in the shotty till I had some time to get her out. LOL!

You also need to get one of Matts mag upgrades. You won't regret it.

Dom, does yours nade fit through the ejection port?

Outstanding. Now all we need is a deck of cards.

The M40GP (as seen above) when installed properly (see these pics) will not come easily... Sure if you stuff in the jaws of life, you'll get lucky, but for all intents and purposes... she's in there forever.

I now have M40Gp v2 which features to hole to lets hot glue seap through two hole rather than just one, creating a better anchor and a flattened edge to sit more flush with the SPAS receiver.

Incidently Medway... now that you're on this forum, you needn't go to eBay... just click on my banner below.

I actually had to glue the cartridge in place, as it was loose in the box when I got the kit.

Guess I'll order the M40GP once payday's here on 25th, as I've spent rather a lot in the last few weeks.

The grenades arrived today.

Had to dismantle the PR to get the shottie cartridge out, especially as I'd glued it in rather too well, so the piece it was glued to came off the cage. : lol

Here's the M40, glued to the 'slider' mount, with Sellotape holding it tightly on:

[img]http://www.medwaypvb.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/scans/pr15.jpg[/img]

I'll leave it alone for 48 hours to make sure it's secure, then glue that to the inside of the cage and leave it for another 48 hours, then put it all back together.

Another pic to follow when finished.

Shameless plug, selling on Ebay to help finance a real steel build.

Cheers

That's not real-steel? Wow, fooled me.

thanks, though the lack of a working pump does keep me awake at night

I must admit this looks a lot better than that old shottie cartridge:

[img]http://www.medwaypvb.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/scans/pr16.jpg[/img]



Bit of a git getting the pump handle back on; had to use different/longer self-tapping screws in the end, but at least it's on now.


My G&P/MiM+TM M1A1 PR build guide

ahhh Medway that looks so good man! nice job

Call me PVB.

Strangely, before I took the PR apart to fit the M40, the stock locking mechanism didn't work, but now it's back together it works fine.


My G&P/MiM+TM M1A1 PR build guide

haha, i love it when things just work out like that PVB

(is the medway in ur name anything to do with the south east of england? as in the medway towns and the river medway etc??)

Yup, that sure is nice... If anyone else needs one, please contact me.

Received the first part of my PR display unit today.

Had a trial fitting, to see where/how many hooks (bought 6, only 4 needed) would be needed to hold the PR:
[img]http://www.medwaypvb.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/scans/pr17.jpg[/img]

Here's a close view of the hooks:
[img]http://www.medwaypvb.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/scans/pr18.jpg[/img]

I bought the mesh and hooks from here:

www.display-stands-uk.com/shop/index.html

Search for Wall mount mesh panel (K29) (black costs extra) and single mesh hook (J10)

The mesh had a large bracket at one end, which I had to bend/break off, so it looks 'even':

I'm looking at getting a local cabinet maker to build the wooden unit for me. Here's the design I'm asking for:

<span style="color:black;font-family:helvetica;font-size:large;]MS Powerpoint file

[img]http://www.medwaypvb.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/scans/pr19.jpg[/img]

asking for prices on various finishes (if all possible):
[img]http://www.medwaypvb.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/scans/pr20.jpg[/img]
then I'll pick one.

More news/pics when it's done.

spray it matt black then give it a good going over with graphite powder for that gunmetal look.

Your design was the inspiration for mine.


Spray what?

I'm usually pretty crap at DIY (the slightly iffy working PR proves that ), that's why I'm leaving the display unit to a professional.

You guys rock!! I absolutely enjoy checking back on this thread. Excellent PR's!!! I simply don't have any way to comment on all of them right now. Just wow!!
