Latest progress on my spacegun inspired carbine art project thingy.
Latest additions:
1) I got a beat up surplus pistol grip for $5. Sand it down smooth and paint. Rustoleum... great stuff. If it get scratched, squirt it again.
2) I figured out how to make the leopard skin foam tube so it's easy to put on and take off as the mood strikes. I'm still figuring it out, but I'll be making a sand colored tube for my ARFX, too.
3) A little more clearance for the barrel... had to work the upper receiver by 10 thous or so. Dollar bill slides freely between upper rail and handguard.
Next step, pick a scope. 3-9x or 6-12x... decision decisions.
Some of you may be offended by my heretical actions of putting color and texture on a pseudo-combat style rifle. Well, one of my definitions of art is somebody ought to be offended.
I like it!
