A few months ago a guy at work showed up with a MiM Pulse Rifle kit and a Cybergun Thompson he planned to build up into a PR. This lit a fire under my arse as I already had a Cybergun Thompson and had recently snagged a complete Matsuo SPAS assembly.

Long story short, a few months later, A LOT of custom work done by myself and some co workers who owed me favors :love and my new baby is born!

I'm waiting for a working counter so in the meantime, while scrounging around in an old pile of PC's the other day at work, I came across a 3 digit digital LED and wired it up static. I dubbed her the M41A2....figuring it wouldn't take long before the USCM developed a higher cap magazine for their standard battle rifle.

Here's the parts breakdown...

  • Cybergun M1A1 Thompson
  • Matsuo 10 Hole Barrel Vent
  • Matsuo Stock
  • Matsuo SPAS cage with cast 870 internals
  • Stapleton13 Stock Button and retractable stock mod
  • G&P Shrouds
  • Random bits from the G&P kit
Features...

  • Fully working airsoft
  • Retractable Stock
  • Customized Matsuo SPAS cage featuring moving 870 bolt, bolt carrier etc. Hollowed out barrel that can chamber a grenade.
  • Real 870 Mag tube serving as airsoft battery storage.
  • 7.4v LiPo Battery
Construction...

  • Aluminum receiver
  • Steel stock, barrel vent
  • Resin SPAS assembly
  • ABS Shrouds
  • Krylon Camo OD Green (w/Fusion) for the shrouds. YES, I know it's not the correct color, but I like the OD. :rolleyes
  • Black parts done in Polane two part epoxy paint. (Thanks to the guy in our machine shop at work whose personal computers I fixed on a few occasions :) )
All in all, I LOVE THIS GUN! This is by far the biggest prop build I have taken on yet and I couldn't be happier with the results. It's SOLID as a rock and with the Krylon and Polane, way durable as well.

Anyhoo, here are some pics...sorry for the lousy pic quality. My camera is very nice, my skillz with it are teh sux0r. :unsure

That is some amazing work, I'd love something like that if the wife would let me take up the room to display them.
