homemade airsoft rifle

I'd be a little concerned about 1/8" fittings breaking with normal wear and tear (not pneumatic functioning, just getting knocked around).

As long as they're not made of paper I wouldn't be too concerned.

The guy is pretty well known in airsoft, bit hard to replicate his results without proper machine tools though. I think what you should be aspiring to is this guy: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2012 ... -scissors/

What's wrong with paper?

I would have never of thought of this technique pretty good results to and could laminate the end result in epoxy to make it last.
Less weight and a lot less money out of my pocket.

Just brought myself some toys for the shed a mini milling machine and mini lathe never worked on such a small scale the machines I use at work are giants compared.

and the lathe i have just been informed is out of stock but my friend has offered to give me a unimat1 6 in 1 thing, which i have heard is terrible but give it ago.

just quick update on what i have done so far





Main problem at the moment is finding a place for the internals to fit as they are pretty large compared to gun overall size.

Don't it's NO good for metal. Also very small.

Hello,

Has any one made a inner barrel out of carbon fibre I have a length sitting around 8mm od and 6mm id make it a tight bore 6.1mm if possible its a meter long but only need 650mm

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

If you're using it with plastic BBs it should be fine.

[flashskate13]

Carbon tube failed so I have ordered a length of aluminium instead,

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Hmmm... Define "failed"...

Well the inner bore was not centre, so the wall thickness was not equal all the way round when I bored it out to the required diameter I test fired it a couple of times and the wall split

Wow, looking very smart! Great work, looking forward to the finished result
