Message: <blockquote data-quote="Xhiwar" data-source="post: 4645009" data-attributes="member: 2548">Hi there!I thought I‘d post this here too.So about 15 years ago, I decided I wanted to build a Pulse Rifle. After much research, I knew I wanted a full metal replica as close to a real steel as possible (but without the hassle of real steel). So airsoft it was. Took me a few years to source the SPAS cage and stuff, and even though I came pretty close to finishing my first build (<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PLnjrnz6kMbyVnEdegVPzR3H80FZ_yZi/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">see the only existing image here</a>), there always was something I wanted to do differently: exchanging the Maruzen, metal shrouds, moving bolt, etc.So here we are, 15 years later, and I believe I finally have the parts to finish this baby.First of all, I need a grip to hold the whole thing. Here are pics of my modified real Thompson wood grip WIP:Sanding of the sides done, reshaping partially done:[ATTACH]1042462[/ATTACH]With the “lines” filed into the grip. I’ll have to throw away the file, because the angle is now crooked (due to the nails I used as a guide for straight lines…)[ATTACH]1042461[/ATTACH]OK, now to the reason I’m excited about this WIP thread: I got a WE Thompson M1A1 GBBR airsoft gun and upgraded it with a steel kit (which was way too expensive…):[ATTACH]1042463[/ATTACH]The whole Thompson is now full steel externally, and most of the internals too! It iis reeeally heavy already!It can use real grips, so that’s why I used a real wooden Thompson grip (<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1y6O3o7Oy1uL4U3XtJrIHQdTUxTOiWJUm/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">although I had to re-tap the threading as the angle was way off</a>).I couldn’t help it and had to make a video (you can really tell the weight of the steel bolt):[MEDIA=youtube]Au9kW6MQxLc[/MEDIA]So, here’s a shot of the parts I have next to me right now, I should be getting new parts in the next few weeks and still have other parts in the basement that I will be working on, amongst them the HCG aluminum shrouds.[ATTACH]1042464[/ATTACH]Stay tuned, I might even finish this thing within the next 10 years! [ATTACH=full]1042465[/ATTACH]Cheers!Roman</blockquote>
