I finally received my Airsoft HK pictogram lower from Evike and installed it last night. Took a little bit of Dremel work but overall it went pretty smooth. Hardest part was taking off just enough material from the inside section to allow the serial number block to slide into the lower. Cutting the section out would have been easier but as you can see that would have ruined the seven bullet picto on the right side. I also had to cut down the posts inside of the bottom of the pistol grip to allow the GSG bottom cover to attach as well as add a little thickness to the post with JB Weld on one side to line up with the screw holes in the bottom cover. Lastly, I placed four small drops (two on each side) of JB Weld to act as selector stops on the external part of the lower. These were carefully molded to the same shape of the ones on the original GSG lower once the epoxy began to set-up. Works great! Can't wait to see the looks I get now at the range

Thanks for the compliments guys. I tend to be a little nit-picky. I'm the nut that had to black oxide the nuts that don't show..... because I know they're there.
For RobP7: This is an inexpensive ($29.99) lower that is advertised to fit an ICS/Marui. I'm sorry but I did not take any pictures as I was doing the work but there are some great pics posted by Joel2star in the 'GSG-5 Mods' sticky. The selector switch is the GSG original with some cosmetic changes (the white stripe) but I did have to enlarge the selector hole in the lower to accomodate it. For RidgeRunner and Charger22: Here are links to both the one I used and a SEF lower, both from Evike. http://www.airsoftpost.com/navy-lower-receiver-body-icsmarui-automatic-electric-p-26120.html http://www.airsoftpost.com/type-lower-receiver-motor-housing-series-p-26123.html |

How long did it take for the lower to show up? How are the folks at Evike.com? The lower that I wanted was advertised as 'out of stock' when I ordered it back in February but they were taking pre-orders. Apparently it finally came in last week. I did give them a call to remind them of my month old pre-order and I received the part four days later. I've purchased other parts from them in the past and have never had any problems. |
