The Expanse MCRN Pistols - WIP

[EvanW]

Just grabbed the aluminum kits that eethan put out to pair up with my WE IPSC airsoft guns. The quality is great! Just pieced them together to check for fit and all will remain functional after completed. The long barrels will be cut down to match the top barrel. Will be building all 3 variants. I can’t find stickers for these anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find some?

Thanks!

Evan

Work continues on the 3 builds. Using a combination of camouflage matte black and full coat to get the desired patina. Also applied some weathering. First 2 are done and awaiting decals/stickers. 3rd one is underway.

Super cool. I had no idea anybody did aluminum parts like this. I'm building out some 3D printed kits now for the MCRN, UNN, and star helix guns. I have an airsoft XD as well and was considering adding some of the 3D printed stuff to that. But I'd rather have metal.

So that top barrel/top housing doesn't mess with the tipping barrel compensator when you rack the slide back?

I'm the maker of the parts, the top added part doesn't mess with the barrel front compensator because it won't extend past the part when racked back, so it just slides smoothly on it back and forth

Well, thank you for the photos. Fantastic work.

Oh, also, I'll be making graphics for these that you'll be free to use once I have them all set up in illustrator. They'll be clean vector files.
