Just found this one in the archive. This is what the m24 looked like when it was newly painted around 6 years ago.

Here mine.

hey fox, did you do the cadpat yourself? Wow, mind telling me how you did that?

Fox, you have IMO the best gun-camo on here.

what scope is that?

fox_111,

nice sniper rifles! what's are the brands of the black and camou-painted?

I will answer, if you don't mind

the black one is a classic army Military version (fluted barrel) and the other one looks like a KJW M700

Nope the black one is a kjw m700 and the camo one is a CA m24

Thanks guys!

i like the cadpat camo

My pride and joy

oops got mixed up XD

where did you get it?

A&A Surplus when they used to carry guns, it set me back about $1250.00 but it was worth every dime lol. I havent gamed with it once since I bought it in October

That's real steel huh ? Nice rifle man ! Wow ! Seems like to be the Sniper Rifle in Shooter, with Mark Walberg.

Its a tasco 6-24x50 scope but its been replaced by a M3 leupold scope (replica of course)

Super sexy. I like this model. If I ever buy a new sniper rifle, I'll buy one like this.

Tanx for the comments guys. My cadpat M24 was painted by Marksmann. I bought the whole rifle off him a few years ago. He's really good at painting rifle. Even the screws on the stock are painted cadpat.... I would have cheaped on those for sure! You can see the parts I added: bipot and scope covers. They are painted plain OD (faded from use...)

The M700 will be painted soon.

The ghillies suit for the M24 was not optimal, but it did a gread job. I say was, because I no longer use it as it was to entangling. I'll make a new one this summer.

In Shooter Mark Walberg used a CheyTac M200 Intervention, my rifle is made by Star Airsoft, but it sure as hell looks real.

Im willing to bet its the STAR one....

damn thats like 5 replies in 2 minutes!

First Prize goes to Mr Jon with his AI L96 Super Magnum or AI AWM or L115A3

Second Prize goes to SEALs with his M24.

Third Prize goes to Fox with his M24

uhmm this just gave me an idea for a real contest on here...

from my other thread,, not many upgrades as of yet.

love that star btw.

Here is my APS-2

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...en/aps-2-1.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...eben/aps-2.jpg

How much cost the Star L96 anyway and what brand of upgrades does it take?
I'd sell my M700 in a heart beat to get one.

good looking rifle :cool:

yeah, I'd be willing to pay about 1500$ for the star, only question, where can I get one.

and like fox said, what kind of upgrades does it take?
cheers

I needs muh scope for it, and possibly a bipod.

http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/100_1943kk.jpg

i aswell got a spr too thunder nice gun i will post pictures once im home but yeah it needs a bipod their not a sniper with out it lol but what scope you thinking im still not chosen one yet atm

Lets just say you dont need upgrades for this STAR. It comes with a percision tightbore and it fires over 550-600+ on a hot day and is super accurate out of the box. I believe it takes AEG barrels and hop buckings if im not mistaken. It appears to be an original design by Star. You can however purchase a highflow valve for it apparently, I have one on order. But the downside is the lack of parts availability and you STILL cant get extra gas magazines for it.

If you ever decide to sell that rifle Mud, you tell ME first ;). I miss my APSIISV. Been trying to contact the guy I sold it to with no luck yet. Ohwell.

I miss my xm21...

I claim no responsibility for the following... blame it on Sepulcrum.

MK12 Mod 0 SPR
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...ePanda/SPR.jpg

gotta love that spr bro! What did you use for the cheeck pad?!

great spr, looks very very nice.

if i were to build one, i'd put a longer suppressor and a scope extension.

props

This is my M14, hix.. not yet try her for any offgame

Not mine anymore.. T.T but oh well.

very nice sl8! to bad its gone :(

The cheekweld is made of copper pipe insulation as weird as that might sound. However the foam has the right density for a cheek raise as well as enough cushion for your face to rest on.

i like the spr

Yeah I thought it might be that.... Is it hockey tape you used? I really like the idea, I'll apply it to my GR-25.

Its has MPH tape under with electrical tape over it. Hockey tape would absorb the paint and make it difficult for paint wear and get sticky after long periods of use.

two questions for you canadianstalker.. What is that little fabric band around the gun right underneath the front end of the scope that you, and fox have on your guns? And where do you get your ghille material for you gun?

The band is a velcro strap to secure the mag in the magweld. It help reduce missfeeds.

The ghillie material is just jute strand attached to a net. Jute is either died or painted. I painted mine.

I put that strap on Fox's gun when I reinforced it two years ago. Gun misfreds because the nozzle that is supposed to strip off the top BB ends up pushing the entire mag down (design flaw) and your next shot is equal to an "airsoft vasectomy".

My rifle ghillie is real saltwater fishing net (Michael's Craft Store), strips of cadpat, jute(gardening twine already dyed green), burlap, some multicam, and OD laundry bag mesh.

some guns I built for some people.. missing are 2 spr (mod 0 and 1)
my AI, ar-15 straitpull single shot and my gf m14

nice looking SVD

C'mon Vondnik, stop making people jealous with your real steel collection and show us some of your airsoft guns! ;)

I don't own any airsoft guns anymore.... The ones that I have are hellrangers and will be for sale in a few days. And only the mod 0 is a a real gun the two others are airsoft

Ya, I recognize the sniper rifle in the middle, the one you custom made and sold to him; the same one I was trying to help him with by handing him allen keys to sort out the Metal Tech BBs jammed in the barrel when we were all chronying.

I miss the guy, games in Quebec aren't gonna be the same without him. :(

what brand of scope is on the second gun i want that scop how much and were

Thanks man.

So is the saltwater fishing net holding the stuff on the gun?

Ya, I just made a 'sock' wrap that I tied together (excess netting from my ghillies) and just tied everything onto it. Shoo Goo the same netting (BTW, 5' x 7' size is $14) onto BDUs and make the ghillie for your body.

Vodnick you real steel whore.

My heart twitched when I saw Hellranger's prosniper....

How much is it worth?

M14 DMR, +500FPS
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4...Picture188.jpg

Could we get a complete shot of the gun. the supressor looks awesome

cheers

Kind of a crummy picture
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4...Picture184.jpg

I maybe wrong but i think the mk12 mod0 was his also.
I miss Steven alot when i see this coming airsoft season...

nice m14
what kind of bi-pod is that?

Oh, its some off brand folder but it does have pan and tilt, so its not so bad.

nice m14, with a HB it would look sooo nice

what about a nice bullet-holster cheek pad

Yes, that would be fitting but I was thinking of trying a DIY Kydex adjustable cheek rest.

Here's my CA M24. Fully upgraded, shooting around 450fps.

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/a...MG_01292-1.jpg

Nice. I like the paint pattern. It's not Gucci, but it's effective like it's supposed to be.

It's actually a tan base than I used a strip of burlap to stencil on the green. You can't see it in the pic but it looks like tan burlap painted onto it. It was still too smooth so I just spray painted burlap and wrapped it around the rifle. Ghillie wraps are nice but I find they get caught up on too much stuff.

Indeed. That's why I don't use my rifle ghillie anymore. It got a lot of dirt and jute crap in my rifle. After every game, I had to dismantle the rifle to remove all that crap.

Amen to that!

I take mine apart every 6 months to lube and tweak it. Anyone ever seen me without my rifle on my back? :D I get little fibers here and there inside the trigger assembly and on the cylinder, but it doesn't affect anything internally. Maybe my clean cylinder is because I use dry graphite/teflon lube on the surface of it, doesn't attract crap.

Just wow!

It's an AEG? what fps do you expect it to shoot?

If hes running the M170 in it, around 550fps-600fps.

you only bought the body and you build on it ... wow :D

yep its an AEG and just like '' Happy_Killmore '' said it should shoot around 550 to 600fps with 0.20g but I will use 0.43g for this one


The Hurricane kit only include the body, barrel, .50 mag, bi-pod, carry handle, tools, manual, etc and it come in a nice foam case

I don't know my spring chart...

600fps (0.20g) using .36g (447fps) give you a very nice engagement range. If the field allow for 100 feets of minimum engagement distance.

It really put the role of sniper into perspective!

550fps with 0.20g will be 450fps using 0.36g BBs (in my M24 with Laylax 170 spring). In all guns I've tested various weights in, there is a 100fps difference between 0.20g and 0.36g BBs. Pretty easy rule of thumb right there, gives you a ballpark velocity if you are using 0.28g (divide by half, ~50fps difference between 0.20g and 0.28g).

don,t forgot with this FPS... probably the HOp up will be damage in a low laps of time

Only need to install a hard rubber in the hop up. Even at 500fps and using my M24 every game (plus lots of testing and target shooting at home), I only had to replace my Guarder clear rubber every 6 months. Since I switched to harder rubbers, I haven't had to replace yet except for different rubber set testing.

Still, you bring up a very good point, hop up rubber choice is paramount to any sniper rifle upgrade. Currently I'm using the KN RH65 rubber in my rifle and it's working well. Avoid any rubber made of silicon, it'll not perform overly well.

OMFG a Barret.

Never saw one in Canada...

Very nice piece of work!

just wow nice m82, how much did it cost ya

That is amazing!

Will a heavier BB significantly reduce the impact load on the piston head when using a hot spring? Just wondering if heavier rounds will also have the added benefit of increasing the longevity of the internals.

Sounds like yo uare thinking too much into things, more than you should even get into the area of worrying about. Heavier BBs will move slower down the barrel than lighter ones, and will allow the air behind the BB to compress more, which would reduce the impact of the piston/head. Same as you hear in AEGs when trying different weights of BBs, the heavier you go, the duller the sound the pistonhead makes. Lighter makes a tick, tick, tick sound, heavier makes a dull tock, tock, tock sound.

So, in my mind, yes, heavier can increase longevity due to the compressability of the air behind the heavier BB.

Fair enough :p

Good stuff. Shitty I found out after you were at the Muskoka game, never got a chance to meet you (might have been near you through, depends on the team you were one and what social things we attended after).

Yea, I was thinking the same thing. Don't think we ever bumped into eachother. Ah well, next game.

My old baby...

The new baby (TM VSR-10) is still a work in progress... I can't decide between a zero trigger or a V trigger though...
