The "Got Wood?" Thread
 

This is a thread for all those guys who like to keep it old school. No fancy polymers here, just steel and wood. You absolutely cannot post a picture in here unless a tree died to make that photo possible. No fake orange plastic wood either. I want to see some ecological damage.

I'll start us off:

I like that railed gas tube, Do you have any info on that or where you got it?

Might post up my AKM in a bit.

Came with my cyma AIMS PMC. It's a copy of the Ultimak gas tube rail

Is that the Mad max shotgun? Always been interested in getting one. Are the shells compatable with madbull or do you have to get theirs?

Great stuff either way!

I just wanted to say I was a little nervous opening this thread. :D

The ones I found online say it's for AK74's http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/cyma-ak74...rail-c-07.html , I'd kinda like to put it on my 47 instead though, I don't know what the differences are in airsoft though :S

Also just so your shotty doesn't feel left out, it's sexy as hell too.

It is the KJW/HWA SAN/Mad Max shotgun. I have no idea if its madbull shell compatible... I've spent 10 hours between today and yesterday trying to seal these bloody shells and three of them still leak out of the base. The fact that I have seven that hold gas is apparantly a miracle according to a variety of reviews I've read. I'll have to test a madbull shell. Anyone in the GTA have any?

The AIMS is a 47 front end, and it came with it installed, so I believe it should fit your AK. My AK is a VFC copy though, so watch out! I'm not sure if it will fit a TM front end.

That's entirely understandable.



POST SOME PICTURES DAMMIT PEOPLE!!

Thanks for the Heads Up Disco!

I'll probably get one anyways they aren't very much. Hopefully it fits if not someone with a 74 will get a good deal :P

Very nice Andres!

If it doesn't fit, you will easily be able to make it fit. People mod real gas tubes onto airsoft AKs all the time, so a little work with a dremel should set you straight!


Andres that is hot, the pattern on the wood looks great. What wood kit is that?

This thread for showing off your wood, so stop bubbling but more pics :D

Here is mine, start off with Tokyo Marui MEU and upgrade to Full Metal KIMBER LAPD SWAT Custom II, the grip got from a buddy of mine who doesn't need anymore.

http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSC_0033.jpg

Some Chinese oak kit I got a long time ago. Though great looking, it's needing some refinishing at the moment and it's not really Marui friendly. Some things will need to be carved to fit properly... still haven't done that.

Unless you have the CYMA M1A1 then it's an easier fit I believe.

Real Sword SVD

I still feel bad for your flash hider...
Somewhat ruined a great RS SVD.

How does the rear stock tang work on yours snake bite? Kinda odd looking. Nice though man

Its a Real Sword it has a centre square tang and an upper blade style, the stock slides on and is screwed through the top,

I havent actualy seen another AEG Ak like the Real Sword as far as stock attachment

SRC/TSD RPK (The Alphagetti Gun!) and CYMA AKMS...

One of these days I'll find wood for my CYMA Thompson M1A1... :D

Ohhhh, So it's a Type 56.... Thats probably why I thought it looked odd.

http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/k...g?t=1304657506
More Type 56's

the flash hider has been modified. i can screw it back on no prob. i'm partial to the look of a silencer.

I gotta go road-tripping in On. now :D

Aaa d now I'll spend the rest of my life browsing the for sale section for an m79. So pretty!

Wow!
 

That's Simply amazing!

I'll have to add my something to this thread soon, as I just got my RS type 56-1! Stoked!

I'd LOVE to know where you got that, I'm looking to get one, the Aeres has some weird ass gearbox

ohhh, I got wood.

The 3 un-used kits are for:

WE G3 GBBR
CA G3 - PolarStar
CA G3 - AEG

I have some other wood that has not been put on guns yet because I am lazy.... but I'll get to it.

I hate you oh so much at this point in time...
also the silencer just looks weird....

would hate me even more if i was not trying to keep one of my other projects a secrete until Op Rhino :P


Had to do something to cove up the longer inner TB. I recently got a shorter suppressor and a thread adapter that will bring the suppressor a bit closer to the rifles body, I hope. That should make it look a bit better.

Its not the length its the age... you've got this amazing older style weapon with wood on it and then suddenly... modern age suppressor.... maybe a more worn looking one would work better... just my opinion

hmm good point. I'll look into it.

So that count on the stock isnt the people you have shot it? i was gonna do that with my old ak, very nice kit

Actually it is 1 notch for every 2 bodies, I have used this as my primary for a while, the previous wood frame for my old CAW (this one is a King Arms) was full on both sides.

Madbull shells are not compatible with the Mad Max shotgun. The Mad Max shells are a two piece shell (blue part is for the bb's and the brass is for the gas) and much longer than the Madbull shells.

I've been talking with Madbull and they've discontinued that line of shells, but they expressed interest both on Facebook and via email in creating a line of shells for the Mad Max shotgun.

Does the hardwood floor makes up for non-wood SVD? :)

Very nice! ive always wanted to try and run something like this as a primary.

All i need now is the front sight, a sling and the oiler.
Might cut the rail to install a real M1 carbine rear sight.

BTW; the kit come with a 6.03 380mm inner-barrel

very nice - can't wait to see it in action saturday!

RA Tech KJ KC-02 10/22 M1 Carbine Front and Rear Sight Set

That is soooo cool! Now I see a purpose to an airsoft 10/22... Is it possible to get straight mags for it?

Thanks Bograin; just hope i get my mags this week or i will have to take the thompson. Only have one mag for now...

Thanks for that RITZ; knew they made the front sight but not the rear.
I wonder how you install the rear one as you need the rail for the hopup ''adjuster'' knob... Over the rail?

That was my purpose when i bought the KJW.
For the mags; not that i know of :( but heh did't even know ra-tech made the rear sight so...

There was a rumor on Arnies that KJW was supposed to release long mags one day. But since it was never really announced, I doubt it.

I handle it yesterday, and it's awesome :D

Refinished the stock on my KJW KC-02 M1 Carbine conversion.
I'm waiting for my front and rear sight. Will also probably cut the rail...

Ca33e work in progress

Looks good Ross.

I've got one of those King Arms kits on the way for my CYMA; have you made yours fit yet?

Couple of minutes with a dremel and mine is fitting nicely.
See pic at the beginning of this page.

On a King Arms, it's a drop in fit.

On a Cyma, the handguard screw is a Marui-type (Tilted) so you need to enlarge the hole so that you can screw straight. Sling swivel don't fit.

Pistol grip : I'll let SHaKaL comment as I still have not done it.

Stock : Drop in fit. However the sling swivels don't fit.

I used the dremel to make the sling swivels fit. Just enlarged the holes one one side.

http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...x/IMG_0695.jpg

got a fancy new leather sling that my girlfriend made. And put a nice bushnell scope on it.

^^^

That is freakin' beautiful!

And I get to collect my wood kit tomorrow... I hope I have time soon to install it!

WOW Ross!
What a beauty.

Got my King Arms Wood Kit installed on the CYMA M1A1!

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/9...dsep242011.jpg

Not much of a problem to fit; one screw was hinky, but that's it!

Sexy!

Btw, get some oil on that holster ;)

Sir, yes sir!

Damn, Ross. Now I got wood..

Crappy cellphone photo, but I had to share this. Definitely one of the most fun rifles I've ever owned.

I'm selling the longer grooved sniper barrel if anyone is interested.

[spoiler][QUOTE=Reckless;1471244]http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...0530001834.jpg[spoiler]

crap I dont know how to do the spoiler thing on here...

So what is that? a goblin deuce? What did you do to it/how'd you extend barrel and grip? are you able to go back to the original configuration? You prefer the madbull over the nitro express? Any performance different with extended barrels?

I bet when you pull that out and tap someone on the shoulder, they put their gun down and hands up and walk away:D

Thompson mag pouches...highcaps or standards inside?

If you're asking about mine... King Arms 110rnds.

We hates the hi-caps...

are those the same size as real steel 30 or 20 round mags?

Same size as 30 rounders.

Last derail question - the 3 cell pouches hold those? I had no idea. I have the 5 cell and it only holds 20 rounders with the flaps closed.

3 Cell pouches are for 30 rounders but are USMC items only. And they only arrived in '45 I believe.

it's 2 goblins that I made scream and cry with a hacksaw and put them together side by side (so yes, there are 2 triggers) ... the duece was still a twinkle in a designers eye when I built it .. LOL

I then custom made the hand guard, and the pistol grip and put the extensions on from a pair of scrap shotgun barrels.. if you look close at the pictures you can see where everything was glued together.

no difference in anything shooting with the longer barrels as they are just outters, there is no inner barrels at all. the madbulls had more power and seemed to be more reliable, the stocker "nitros" had a better spray pattern. could barely register a kill past 100ft though.. the range on it really sucked (maybe it was just me) ... however when you pull the trigger(s) people hit the ground and start yelling "why the hell is there a .22 out here????!!!! "

my first gun with any wood on it, kinda classes it up

How did you achieve that effect on the wood? I completely stripped and restained mine a bit of a more reddish-brown, but it's nowhere near as nice as that handguard!

First, I stripped them using chemical stripper. Then stained after weathering with Minwax Dark Walnut although Ebony would have worked nicely too. Then I burned them in places with a lighter, then applied some red tinted shellac overtop. This is all from memory, but I think that's it.

My new toy. A&K Dragunov SVD. Its just as nice inside as out.

ACTUAL QUESTION: Has anyone tried to put a real GALIL front on the KA Galil?

https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n...84465041_n.jpg

With Best Gun Goodness!! Did you install it on the Tanaka hop up chamber body or use the Zeta Labs CNC'd unit?

haha yes, the rare and highly praised Best Gun hop-up components.
I was able to track down a Best Gun chamber and 3 buckings, so its a Best Gun chamber and buckings.

Edit: Just re-read your question lol, yea, its the Tanaka hop-up chamber. But I do have the Best Gun "Hop-up system" so basically its the bucking and the Best Gun nozzle.

Also got a KM TN 6.04mm for K98 in there. These are the only 2 upgrades that I am aware of that exists for this gun.

Wow that Tanaka K98 looks beautifull, not as good as the Dragunov, but still :)

Ross, somehow the scope doesnt look right on the G3, that being said, it does look like the real deal.

Did WE not use laminated wood on the Dragunov? Seems disappointing.

That K98 looks amazing. It would be nice to see a good repro ZF-41 that looks like the real thing. The Tanaka one is far off.

The one I have on there is the G&G ZF-41. It doesn't look right, but you can adjust it like a modern scope. The Viva Arms ZF-41 looks better, but you would have to adjust it by moving lens around, which I never figured out how to do lol.

As predicted: Rocking this thread.

How are you coming along with installing that Zeta Labs hop up unit Strelok?

Nice guns btw.

Just found a disassembly guide lol.
http://www.softair-of-fortune.com/in...iew&id=166/url

Thanks! It was purchased for my freinds Tanaka K98k, which is pictured above (I work on it enough that I could very well own it! Hah. I have a G&G 980 I have yet to photograph.)

I've got it installed, but I found that there is nothing that actually holds the chamber packing and barrel into the unit itself. I'm not sure if I'm missing a part from the kit or what (Couldn't see anything that would retain it aside from friction and the hopup stem... which seems sketchy) So it tends to slip every now and then, Might tap in a set screw or something at some point.

Either way, the gun is getting a nice consistency per shot. Just not 100% as I'd like.

There is supposed to be a small grub screw that holds the barrel to the unit. Did you go the way of reusing the Tanaka hop up or the VSR hop up? I installed the BGS hop unit so I'm not sure if it's a similar procedure.

Nice wooden collections, strelok! Love the Thompson. If that would have a gbb.

http://www.airsoftcanada.com/picture...pictureid=5028

We used a VSR-10 barrel and hopup, and it works something lovely. Used a GBBR tightbore for it though since it was the only thing readily available, lol.

I just got my G&G working after like, 5 months of owning the damned thing. I've got a couple wooden projects on the go this weekend, I'll have some photos to show in the following few days.

My pathetic attempt at photography.

The Kar 98k is a Tanaka which has an orange stain on the stock. After 3 coats of dark walnut stain and 3 coats of linseed oil it still looks orange in the pics. It's more brown. Anyway...

How are they? and are they still available?

No. Its from the late 90's i think. NBB. I've been looking for a spare magazine for it for ever with no such luck in finding one.
