Hasbro NERF M41-A Pulse Rifle repaint / mod

[Hanotron]

Hi guys, first time poster from Australia.
Decided to mod and repaint my Nerf Pulse rifle.

Sanded all screws down and replaced with real hardware.

Added little aluminium tube for the bolt.

Drilled the fake barrel out

Filled all screw holes (poorly)

Sanded all logos off, primed, painted.
Used a combo of Tamiya TS-90 dusted with Vallejo Olive drab over the top.

3d printed a new bottom for the magazine.

I also made a little laser etched aluminium compliance plate to fil in one of the legal stuff recesses. Can send the file to anymore if required.
Everything still works and functions.

Fun little project.

Cheers
James

Please tell me you’re going to offer those compliance plates! Right off the top I’ll buy two!

I would also be intersted in the compliance plate.
You should consider doing a run, if you have the time to do all the posting and packaging.

Thanks for your thread James!!!

Helped me a great deal, I ended up using 25mm eraser refills (painted) to plug my screw holes just in case I ever have to break inside to fix anything later on.

How did you make your laser etched aluminum maker plate? I'd love the files while you're offering it. One can get gerber or black vinyl onto silver/alumn. vinyl cut, but how did you do it?

Thanks so much - here's mine!

The other side with the screws plugged.

I used a hole punch and some 5mm EVA foam to plug holes. As another alternative. It pops them out easily. Didn't paint though.
