How expensive ? (from Pimp my Gun into Airsoft)
 
After playing with pimp my gun for a while, I came up with this rather simple design. I was wondering how much would it cost to make it true, taking a Socom Gear Noveske N4 cqb as a base.

Here the pictures. I wouldnt mind using ACM acessories as long as they are decent quality.

External only or External and internal?

Externally only. I would be using a Socom Gear M4 as a base.

On that note feel free to express your opinion. Constructive critisism is always apreciated.

Go on your favorite airsoft store, fill the cart with your items and you'll see the price...

If you don't want ACM stuff, just buy Madbull, King Arms, G&P, etc accessories.

Why not go look at online airsoft stores, look at the prices and add them all up? Are you that freaking lazy?

That would be an oxymoron!

MaciekA March 24th, 2012 21:48

My first thought upon seeing this was that it will be a major pain in the ass to acquire the Krylon ultraflat colors to pull this off :)

The rest of the stuff is easy.

Acid_Snake March 24th, 2012 22:13

Orly? Flat OD and Tan are there everytime I go to canadian tire

Your price will really depend on what your looking for you could basically get an ACM part for all that or a quality name brand so it's really up to you. As other members have stated your best bet would to visit some of your favorite airsoft store's websites like:

airsoftparts.ca
airsoftdepot.ca
airsoftpartshop.com

overseas at
ehobbyasia
airsoftpark
ebairsoft

+ A LOT more

ThunderCactus March 24th, 2012 22:52

So it's just gonna hang on the wall?
Why not do the internals first? Get it shooting good, then make it look good lol

surebet March 24th, 2012 23:01

Sights are a bit mismatched; a flip back with a rail mounted front... meh.

Color choices are a bit odd, I feel like you're trying to over sell the two tone thing. Looks like a pastel mess.

Flash hider isn't my favorite, depends on what you want it to do I guess (ie silencers).

Not a bad build overall, but it's a bit all over the place.

Actually I think it's a pretty nice way to see what setup you like the best. I actually used it and help me out to get a general idea of a setup.

IMO, chairsofting is more about having 6 000 posts on ASC, and attending 1 game a year, and in the end not going at it because you managed to make up an excuse not to.

To the OP; Your setup is not my favorite, but if you have the balls to do it, do it. I remember seeing alot of weird faces when I came up the first time with my M4 stock on my MP5K, but in the end, i'm the one behind the trigger, not the community.

Thanks.

The funny part about this is that this is (almost) how my M4 is configured right now. My gun in @ the doc so i cant take any photos but will post some when i get it back.

I'm using;
Noveske M4 CQB base
Magpul rear flip sight
some no name red dot (planning to be upgraded)
Magpul AFG2 is on order
& a flashlight/laser combo is on order

Mines just all matte black, no camo for me :)

Cheers

++EDIT++
Attached an image, not perfect but sort of close to what mine will look like :)

ThunderCactus March 25th, 2012 11:52

wait....how are you planning to use the AFG without a rail underneath?

Boyso March 25th, 2012 11:59

Chhhhhh!

Everything is possible in pimpmybun

I don't know if you're aware, but there are rails on that CASV that you can either screw on or not.

Yes he is lol. But they are not shown in that picture... Franks just being funny.

As for the "how". I'd say JB weld?

Jcotter March 25th, 2012 12:46

JB weld is on sale at princess auto right now for $3.99 I believe.

ThunderCactus March 25th, 2012 13:06

zap straps!

I used to have a CASV, I had a rail mounted M203 on it actually, got sick of it being mounted so low and learned that the rail system on the M203 is bolt on. So I machined it down a bit and drilled 2 holes in my M203 and bolted it directly to the bottom of the CASV as shown here....

Curo March 25th, 2012 13:25

Well for CASV its King arms or bust. The dboys one isn't nearly as good. I think the KA is 150.00

PrIeSt March 25th, 2012 14:31

Had a casv on my old m4. Adds a good bit of front weight though!

+1. I have a D-boys CASV and it is the heavyest piece of caca. I had to remove most of the rails and leave the ones I was using. If you do get a CASV rail then get the medium sized one. The one with the cutaway for the front site isn't as nice as it looks in the photos.

PrIeSt March 25th, 2012 19:36

I had dboys as well wasn't as bad as people said. Worked fine for me

Solo36 March 25th, 2012 19:46

The quality on mine isn't the best, I find the metal to be quite maliable. However, I was surprised and pleased at the fact I can fit a 9.6v numchuk battery in it.

PrIeSt March 25th, 2012 19:53

No not rock solid but they arnt junk either. If its all you can afford

For sure, I was just one of the unfortunate souls that got the lemon lol. I wish D-boys made a mid length modle too.

Spike March 25th, 2012 20:04

I had a dboys one too... it was soft and pliable as shit. It was a piece of garbage.

talon March 25th, 2012 22:27

the back-up sights won't work with the EOtech mounted. The top-rail on a CASV raises the control interface of the holosight into the sight picture. To use them, you'd have to ditch the EOtech first. Plus, to properly use the AFG, with your thumb over the top rail, might prove to be an issue, especially with the added rail adding more width. CASVs can be pretty thick with stuff on them.

Have a King Arms CASV, it's rock-solid. Heavy, but it's pretty much indestructible, so far as I've noticed.
