Future Airsoft Smiths ?

I wanna be a smith but just for fun , maybe sell a few , keep some for my own . My buddies consider me as creative , and I am , so it wouldn't be hard for me to design one . I am handy with my hands and great with woodworking , so that shouldn't be a problem . Anybody else out there like me , any smith got tips . I'm all ears .

Hi Bama,

What kind of tips are you looking for ??

I say, Go with what you know !!

If your good with your hands, and really into wood working, I would be thinking about making something along the lines of a Full Walnut Stock for an L96, VSR, Thompson, Bring something new and different out, some of the best AirSoft rifles I have seen are done in wood, G3, M14, M1, just to name a few. If you really want to be differnet on the Playing Field, be the first ever to walk onto the field with a Black Ash, M16 , except for the Pistol Grip, everything else could be done from wood !!!

Or you could go Balls Out and attempt to make something like this,

Dude if I was against that gun I would run away as fast I could.

I couldn't release all my ideas here, but i have a design in mind

Im OK at working with airsoft guns, not the greatest. meaning im a beginner n00bie smith. lolz

Could you take a whole buch of different upgrades and parts and stuff to make a totally origanal gun? Is that possible...? lol

You can make your own gun. but you would end up having to buy specialized parts or machining your own parts like what Slob and his team did.
Just making a gun out of store bought parts is near impossible because some like CA, SYSTEMA, are proprietary and only fit certain models

I'm trying to make HPA and or Co2 powered guns. Right now I'm just converting paintball guns to fit AR bodies. If anyone has seen the WA gas M4 its sick. I just need a way to make my gas systems self contained, then Ill be ready for business! I do most of my mechbox work for myself now but I couldn't open a mechbox till the middle of last year. Upgrade springs are a B****!

I am very good with my hands and love doing it and I was thinking about making a wooden stock a JG Bar 10 , then purchase a barrel and the rest of the internals , instead of spending time on metal working . I could do the metal working , my Dad is a 4-wheeler / lawmower mechanic for a living so he does a lot of welding and stuff , but still am I doing the right thing here , ( P.S. I went with the Bar 10 because of its easier and sleeker looking design , against the L-96's more complicated design . )

Nice ideas guys. Any plans out there for the stocks. Not to get in the way of the post Alabama.

I made a VSR stock, but the VSR needs a new piston and I need to figure out a way to keep the mag in place. Its an AICS stock(L96 style), with a dark stain.... I used Cedar because it is so light an manipulative(and it didn't hurt the wallet).

I'll get pics up when I can, probably if I actually get around to making that review of the MTC that I got lol.

if I wanted to make a custom gun what would I need?

A: Serious NECRO POST
B: Skill

I recommend STARTING with a base gun, then just upgrading that to make a 'Custom' Gun

aye. like my goal of making a m16 with ect ect ect
