New MC51 idea...

[EasyCheez]

Hey, Jeeves has an MC51 for sale so I have a new idea for an AEG. I'll buy Jeeves' gun if i get my loan check in time, otherwise I may just buy a second MC51 or a G3 SAS at a later date. So, here's the idea:

I take the original gun, buy a surplus G3A3 stock from cheaperthandirt (they're seriously like $10 for the stock plus foregrip) and throw it on i find a way to modify the stock to take as big of a battery as possible. Then I do the usual internal upgrades, aim for 400fps or more. Then, here's the fun part... I get a G3A3 RIS system and make the gun G3A3 length, plus slap a silencer on the end to fit as much inner barrel (a 6.01) in there as possible. Then, because nobody sells G3-length inner barrels, I will probably have to take the MC51 inner barrel and maybe even buy a second MC51 inner barrel and machine them and weld them into a single piece for stability.

Slap on a scope, bipod, and a cheek guard and I have a custom G3 sniper. It'd be cheaper than the M14 and, depending on my silencer, I'd still be able to find a way to fit close to 500mm of barrel into the gun. it's worth a shot, plus I can use the same mags.

Actually, just an update... I didn't realize that the G3 SG1 wasn't discontinued like the G3A3 and G3A4. I might just get an SG1 from Hong Kong and then do the work on that platform.

I too am thinking of making a sniper once my m733 id loaded out with a lipo and a few more mags. idk thinking i will need a new project.... lol

I know... My MC51 just needs an inner barrel and a silencer (to sneak another few millimeters in) and then I'm done upgrading... There isn't much I can do to my Uzi so I need a new toy. I love the M14 but the G3 platforms are my absolute favorite guns. I'll have to throw prices together to help me decide.

lol price is always the kicker!!!!

sounds awesome, take a gander at ASGI's front page, they have what your describing except the silencer.

You can buy at JBU 6.03 550mm barrel instead of machining or place a custom barrel order with DB for $60 or so.

I don't know... I love the M14 but the gun plus an RIS and scope would be around $700 and that's without a single upgrade part. The G3/SG-1 idea is starting to appeal to me. That link you sent me is precisely what I want... Then I can put a pistol grip on the front and get a box mag that holds a few thousand rounds... viola, support weapon. I'd have to check with IAA rules but, given the fact that it would LOOK like a support weapon it should be acceptable.

Imagine either of those guns with an RIS and a pistol foregrip. Scha-wing! I might even check how big of a battery would fit inside of the foregrip and get an swinging UMP-style stock.

nice. i might actually get a THIRD G3 at some point... then I'll have one set up as a rifle (my current gun), one internally set up to be a LMG (under 399fps, box mag, etc) and then the SG1 set up as a sniper rifle. I love the G3.

Hey, update... i am now thinking of a new, custom idea. Now, if i have a support and a sniper weapon I won't need an assault rifle so the MC51 would be useless (or I'd have to sell it). Now, my MC51 fires 370, under the 399 required for support weapons. i could, in theory, slap a box mag on it, a bipod on the front... Then it could sort of be an H&K 23E paratrooper version. I could run a lipo to beef up my ROF. That way I could focus more money/effort into just building a sniper G3 SG1.

I'm talking to Solution_Zero to see if that would be legal.
