ScoutSi Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Hey troops, This is my WIP thread for the MG-15 Heavy Blaster I was lucky enough to get my hands on an actual MG-15 replica, and for less than £100 - I think i paid £90 for it! It’s made of wood but whoever made this did an amazing job as it’s very accurate, the saddle drum is very nicely made The gun had been painted a flat Black colour, but I wasn’t happy with it and there are also a few marks and bits that need some filler so I sanded the whole thing back and then shot it with a few coats of primer so I could see the parts that needed a touch of filler. I also decided that I’d add the scope rails and scopes before painting. Rear Section and Snooper Scope I decided I would scratch build mine, and fashion some brackets out of different pipe clips I started off by slicing up 2 different sets of brackets and heating them to shape, and then gluing them together I dremeled the bottom of the brackets to fit the contour of the receiver, and then screwed them in place. The scope is made of several bits of plumbing pipe and fitments, having sat in B&Q for an hour putting bits together and looking at pics on my phone Mounted to Gun Hose (removeable) added End Pieces added I still need to add the rubber eye piece but I’ll do that after it’s been painted, and then fit the Singlepoint scope, which I’ve yet to get my hands on. More updates soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE TROOPER Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 That looks sweet dude. I found a sight that sells the original hinged clips for the holder. That is one of my favorite guns......oh, i mean blasters. I would love to fire a real one some day. :teehee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchy Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 That's the problem over here, I can't even buy an airsoft replica without the police sniffing out who bought it... Leaves scratch build only... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutSi Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Update: Today I decided I would have a go at scratch building the front scope mount. We all know how rare the real Enfield mount is, so I've tried to replicate it using spare parts This the real one: I got a piece of scrap ABS, and some spare bits I had laying around and drew a template. I then used some plastic rod for the mounting frame, and then added the scope rings Here is my effort: Just the single point to go, then its time for tidy up and final painting. Cheers, Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutSi Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 After several layers of weathering my MG15 is pretty muchfinished. Need to add the rubber eye piece to the snooper scope but I'm happy to call it done Pics: Hope you approve Cheers Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
