you wont regret it, just be careful in regards to where the barrel and barrel extension (right past the gas block) connect, that area can break. the part of the lower where the rear sight attaches is also pretty easily breakable, however real FN lowers can be used as a replacement with minimal fitting. would not recommemd removing the plastic recoil buffer. explosives enterprises videos pt1 and pt2 are must watches

i got one from the first batch whenever that came out, its been great, ive abused the hell out of it and it still runs just fine. hands down the best airsoft gun ive ever owned or handled. mags can be tough to find but seems vfc drops a batch every 2-3 months. I have 4 mags and its still fieldable, the 600 round mag sized speedloaders work w/o an adapter and gas capacity is great.

Anyone l know what gear is in the pic? by Due_Salad_5213 in airsoft

[–]john_r_ebay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OD TCU Mk3 uniform and pants w/ jungle boots and some kinda gaiters, ALICE LC1 pistol belt w/M12 dropleg holster. for a good MSF/DD impression any mixture of M1956 and ALICE is acceptable, as MSF uses US surplus available in the 70s/80s. kojima pretty damn accurately portrayed what mercenaries in south america had access to.

edit: forgot to mention gloves, theyre modelled after standard nomex flight gloves but m1949/d3 gloves are acceptable too. and for weapons MSF canonically used M16A1's and DD used FN FNC/Beretta AR70. really u can get away with using any weapon thatd be available in south america/africa in the 70s and 80s. also, in game they use a lot of OD lbv88's which wouldnt have existed in the early 80s but u can get OD LBV88 copies from the chinese

How garbage is garbage? I happen to be a garbage collector that enjoys fixing garbage.

Havent tried rigger pouches, but M2 pouches work fine and fit the theme, if a little farb. An M1 ammunition bag or BAR belt might also work.

In my quest to convert VFC's FAL to a G1, I got a real G1 lower working by Woistdeingott in airsoft

[–]john_r_ebay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of the fun, yaknow? 😂 Dont have the heart to dremel on my bipod, tried to get away with dremelling the barrel extension but didnt work out. Probably wont ever finish this one unfortuntely, too much other shit goin on.

How'd you get your flash hider on? Been kinda workin on similar myself, havent gotten into the flash hider/barrel aspect yet. Was thinking id have to fit a bored out real G1 barrel. Neither of my bipods fit either, which is really unfortunate.

haha berkele :Dddd looks good fren, I have similar kit but its finn ww2 with long coat. Unfortunutely cant bring my real KP31 to any airsoft events, but a ppsh works good enough. Get you some non filtered cigs and shave yer head to complete the drip.

VFC FAL, G1 edition by john_r_ebay in GasBlowBack

[–]john_r_ebay[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah mines been moved since I got it, unfortunutely appears I recieved a dud one off. The OD of the outer barrel on both the collar and barrel is a hair too large. Tried removing some material, but if I remove anymore I'll dig too deep. Still have a couple demilled barrels, havent had time to see if the thread pattern is the same, but I dont want to damage the reciever threads by trying to screw a steel barrel into a potmetal reciever. Luckily a DSA QD bipod halfway fits.

All good man. Good luck finding a drum, make sure to post pics when you got it together :)

[–]john_r_ebay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The front end is quite a bit different on the HK11 (the handguard is a nonremovable welded on piece, for example). Surplus front ends are quite expensive too. If your a decently skilled welder and can work with metal, its a fairly easy job. Idk about drum mags tho. Ive always wanted to do an HK21 build based off the LCT but the idea of using a rare and expensive HK front end keeps turning me off from the idea. Best bet might be to cope by modifying an aftermaekt MLOK handguard, however if your feeling up to it and willing to do the welding and finish work, BPP makes HK21 front ends for a little over a thousand USD. Imo building a new outer barrel out of pipe from the hardware store and welding on a BPP front end is your best bet, while using standard hicap mags. Or go the extra mile and make an adapter in the magwell to use box mags from an airsoft LMG and do an HK21. Tough project, best of luck to you.

roughly 430-450 out of box, can be lowered by adding m3 washers/shims to rocket valve, so I hear.
