Re: Metal Gear Solid 4 Props - Snakes Operator
UPDATE: MGS4 "Operator" Inspired Custom WE 1911 Tactical (Airsoft).
I have finally to come to admit to myself that I'm done with this project for now. As you can see much has changed since I started this thread with my initial attempt into recreating Snake's final signature sidearm. I was trying to keep it as cheap as possible though its hard to avoid spending a lot when Japanese parts are needed. luckily, we sell most of the parts I needed. And yes technically it should have Springfield Armory trades but they proper slide is hard and expensive to come by.
External:
WE 1911 Tactical (Wilson)
Nineball 1911 Threaded barrel (Lightly polished)
PDI Delta Hammer
WA Wilson's Barrel Bushing (Polished)
WA Wilson's Mag Well (heavily modded to fit)
RS Wilson's Full length Recoil rod and plug (Cant afford the $400 Lasermax)
KSC 1911 grips modified to fit Ambi safety and Dry brushed light tan
King Arms Advanced Armament Evolution .45 Silencer
G&P M3 light w/ Surefire P60L bulb.
Internal:
Guarder reinforced loading muzzle
PDI Winter Piston head
tell me what you think.

Totally awes, man. I've seen this sucker in person and it's one of the coolest replica sidearms I've ever had the pleasure to lay my eyes upon.
Well done.
....and yes, those pics are huge on even my 27" monitor.

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4 Props - Snakes Operator, UPDATED PICS 3/23!
I love the look of that gun. Might I suggest one last small change? The rear sight should be adjustable like this one:
And I hate to nitpic because I know you have put a lot of work into this gun, but there shouldn't be any forward cocking serations.
Still a great looking gun! Love it.

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4 Props - Snakes Operator, UPDATED PICS 3/23!
Oh yeah I admit its not perfect. I love the Trijicon rear sight but holy cow they are expensive and I doubt they would fit. We have some adjustable rear sights at work but I havent found any I can live with yet. About the serrations, the gun in the game is not a perfect rendering of the real Life weapon. If you check the first post of this thread you can see the difference. I guess I was aiming for something inbetween the two. My biggest gripe is the rail on my replica is a notch or so shorter than it should be.
Thanks for the Comments...John from Atlanta :confused

Yeah, I figured you knew, and I was just pointing out the obvious, but since nobody else said anything, I figured I'd chime in.
As for the sights, I bet you could pick up a pair of Wilson Combat adjustables eventually. They run about $100, but I'm betting they would fit since the slide is a licensed WC product.
And as a side note, the sights used on the MGS3 1911 were Wilson Combat low profile snag free sights. I'm looking into customizing a Springfield 1911 sometime in the future and will be using these sights.
I'm thinking gray frame and black pakerized slide with vertical forward and rear cocking serations akin to the MGS3 1911. And of course a threaded barrel is a must.

dont forget to file down the grips so you can equip your knife Knightsaber :lol
on a side note there a code for mgs4 that unlocks the 1911 from mgs3 and when viewed it shows the details in the grip that snake carved in to it

Oh yeah, I just did that a couple weeks ago. It's definitely the best handgun on the game and my personal favorite.

Here is my stunningly accurate MGS2 replica.
On a side note, I have been creating a model of the Solid Eye System.
