i have had this rifle for around 8 months or so.. i preferred to play with my other G3 most of the time, for one stupid reason...
the stock is literally 2 inches too long... its still use-able, but very awkward and semi-uncomfortable, it just does not feel natural.
Goal of the Mod(s)-fabricate either an adjustable stock, or a static stock that fits comfortably
-fabricate a silencer to compensate for added length of a longer barrel (planning for my 6.03 upgrade >___>)
-improve overall visual treatment without losing performance, or breaking my wallet
Tools/Supplies [thank you home depot]
-3/4" PVC (long as f, dont remember exactly how big - probably 12 feet or so)
-1" PVC connector
-JB Weld (ended up not needing at all!)
-a bag full of random screws, bolts, nuts, etc
-black electrical tape
-black industrial "duck" tape
-steel saw
-cordless drill - 3 tips; already put everything away so im not going to post the sizes, like it matters -___-
Total Cost$6.51 [including JB weld which i didnt need for this project]
Procedure-stock-
so, long story short... i chopped two pieces of the 3/4" PVC, and connected them with the 1" piece
i took the original stock for the rifle, and chopped that as well. i ended up taking an inch from the rear, and a couple inches from the front
drilled two holes on each side of the front stock piece, and two holes on each side of the rear piece. this was very tricky, there are probably a billion ways to do it that are BETTER then the method i employed, but the end result is all that really matters with this mod
drilled two holes on each side of the front PVC, as well as the rear piece
used random hardware from that bag of tricks to connect the front stock piece to the front PVC, and the rear stock to the rear PVC
taped up the white PVC with black electrical tape, i should probably tear everything apart and paint it, but im kind of done for now -lol-
marked the ends of the screws, and chopped them all off so that the nut sits flush on each screw, to prevent them from catching on my vest or anything else
after looking at the semi finished project, i decided to chop off the top part of the front stock piece, i wanted it to be level with the rear piece. it still doesnt look the way i would ultimately prefer, but its better then before...
-silencer-
very simple mod, simply chopped some more of that 3/4" PVC, and taped it with black duck tape instead of painting it.
normally, the PVC would not sit tight over the flash hider - so i wrapped electrical tape around the flash hider 7 or 8 times, and that did the trick - the pvc slides on and sits very firm.
End Result-achieved a more combat-effective stock
-successfully fabricated a fitting silencer
-spent under 10$ on materials, with plenty left over (not including what i already had, the drill, hardware, tape, etc)
Pictures
after previewing this post to make sure everything is right, i just realized i need to tape the top of the front stock piece to cover the wires, and that i forgot to mention the red-dot. those lens covers have office clips taped to them, that was a previous little mod i did. yeah i know..ugly..but you gotta stretch those dollars..
i am debating taking the tape off down the road and painting, but as of tonight its staying the way it is. i might do the PVC when i paint the body.
this rifle is actually an 80$ AEG, wellfire r8 if i remember correctly. chronos 380 with .2's, no internal mods. as stated previously, should be getting some new barrels for both rifles. should put the r8 at 400-410, we'll see!
comments/criticism both negative/positive about the mod are very welcome.
