Sean's 'sniper rifle'
#1
hi guys,

After seeing zeribins awesome blaster at DW, I decided to make one myself Smile Will be primarily using this with my snowie, but you never know.. TKC may get to use it Wink

The base is a nerf gun, removed all the internals of it and modded it a bit too.. The scope is a real sniper scope, with illuminated red or green crosshairs. I stuck a few greeblies on there to make it look cool, mainly bits from an old dvd player.

Breaks up into 3 pieces for easy transport too.

now, PHOTOS!

first is a size comparison next to my E-11

Looking great, have you considered a bipod on the front?

Funny thing you mention that, I was actually trying to think of what I can use for a bipod and where I could place it... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Smile

Looks great Sean. You could add a bipod to the bottom barrel, just like I did for my mando rifle.

I'd say it's a bit late my input looking at your barrel but nerf do a bipod mount for the original barrel.
I've weathered mine very heavily but doubt I'll ever use my bipod as attached it just doesn't quite look right.

Have a look at this link ref your rear stock.

Dunno but if your maybe looking at more realism as it were Wink then with the stock fully extended you might want to pick one of these babies up, painted, weathered it certainly does add more of a authentic look to your nerf. If interested on the look PM I'll send a few photos.
