Great rendition!

That is a very nice rifle, now somone has to do it with cadpat :d

Already been done FYI.

Very nice Goldman, keep it up :tup:

don't forget the worst cocking handle ever made!
going to attempt to paint the elcan? not sure how you could do that though.
Greg

Nice job goldman. i like :)
u ppl r making me wanna go back with armalites dammit.

good work... looks noice..

The rubber cover on the Wlcan appears to be removable, so i'll jsut order an OD ccover from Elcan directly.

and get a clean, fresh mag.

pfft fresh mags are for noobs :P serisously though, i hope to move to star 30rndsers soon

Very nice! Where did you get the C79 Optical Sight, if you don't mind me asking?
I have an ICS M4 and would like to convert it to a Diemaco version.

its not the issue C79, its a TH Elane M14 MG scope.. but it will do until i have big bling to drop on a real Elcan

It looks close enough. Where'd you get it (like do you have a URL link to a site or something)?

There ar a few on the boards in teh used section, Airsoft kelowna sells them... most retailers can get them

Looks nice. Dont you also need the rubber but pad and the rail on the barrel? (not sure if you have the rail, cant really see) http://www.sfu.ca/casr/101-c7a2.htm

awesome, but where in the heck are you getting it engraved

Buttpad - Its comming, need a bit more cash before I order it though

TRiAD - Its not availiable to the public from Diemaco, and has not yet been surplused, so I have jury-rigged a similary barrel mounted rait system to the front sight until i can either find a TRiAD for sale, or until i can have one custom made.

Engraving - Investigating now

You will have an extremely hard time finding a place to engrave. Also it seems Elcans are not sold to the public anymore in Canada. Good luck with it all you've done great so far, Arizona Gun Runners has an OD Elcan scope cover.

Hey Goldman. If you are looking for a Triad mount for the barrel you might want to take a look at this:

http://www.uncompany.com/images/guarder-trs-10_big.jpg

It's a Guarder TRS-10. I'm not sure if it's a replica of the Triad system, but from the pics i've seen it looks pretty close. If you can't find a real Triad system you might want to think about this one. Price is $48 USD from UNcompany.

While i'm pretty sure you can't order the system, you can still order replaement parts IIRC, such as the rubber cover.

One problem i've run into is battery storafe with TM slither stocks...looks like i need a beter battery bag.

Just a heads up the CPK Magpouch for stocks does not work well, and barely works at all on Slither stocks, nor does it fit large bateries well.

Is it possible to modify the m16 foregrips to fit a large battery?

you could fit a custom batery in there, but with the FMU outerbarrel, and other kit already up there, well the gun is front heavy enough as it is.

You could get a magazine pouch, put a shell of an emty magazine in it, and stick a battery in it. I think you mentioned earlier that the mag pouches didnt work well but it may work.

EDIT: Try it again....if it doesn't load the first time REFRESH, the site is slow too.

Link doesn't work for me.

very nice i love the elcan sights

what's holding the battery?
I'm guessing the magazine holder from canadian peacekeeper? that's all I'd end up doing if I don't just put the battery inside the m16 front.
give me a shout if you can actually order the elcan scope cover from diemaco, somehow I just don't see it happening.
Greg

Since a few people on MSN have asked me this, I might be intrested in selling this puppy for the right price.

Do you have a good pic of the trades?
