Every I've seen them they've been closer to $200 so I'd say yes.
Don't get the Dot 44 camo. It's completely unhistorically accurate
The germans only ever made the Dot camo in smocks for the SS
I don't have money to get a packet of noodles, I won't get anything :v:
[QUOTE=jomt1234;33303684]How do you do weather your weapons, you just take like sandpaper and go crazy on it or..?[/QUOTE]
I wrote a reply but I guess I forgot to submit it.
Basically, while I usually use a combination of sandpaper and steel wool for general weathering, plus a steel file for sharp edges, I wanted to replicate the very worn look most MP44s developed as a result of the cheap paint used in their manufacture. So I just used sandpaper, and did three passes. On the first, I just scraped it across the surface of the gun to pick up the raised edges and detail. This was done quickly, just to show me where those parts were. On the second pass, I focused on those same areas with the sandpaper, so any raised surface was scraped clean of paint. On the third pass, I then took the sandpaper and pressed it with my finger to scrape it on flat surfaces to wear away the paint. The end result of this process is that the raised areas are completely bare, and the flat surfaces are worn as well.
The stock was darkened using several washes of watered-down 'smoke' paint manufactured by a hobby company, and the grips were just painted.
I would get those but I cant find any german helmets, Mp44/40 mid caps and no money :(
[QUOTE=DarkZero135;33308634]german helmets[/QUOTE]
Those are 'spensive. And there are zero good repros

Luckily, I already have one :v:
That green german uniform is very cool
I have a german helmet with a bullet hole in it :v:
Great for nazi zombie loadout.

But, just scraping over the body gives it a general weathering, right? Why not like, tape some sandpaper to a glove, wear the glove while handeling the gun, for a more "realistic" usage wear, as some parts wear more than other, like around the magwell, on the handguard, the bolt and the magazine, and less on the very end of the barrel or just in the middle of the receiver.
I dunno, just nobody repeat what i did, i fucked up bad and used a knife. Weathering looks too acute. The screwdriver thing though, yeah, def. do that.

Not all wear is from being banged into things or scraped with the hands. Simple exposure to the elements and the heat of operation wears paint off all over the gun, such as on the AKs seen [url=http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/6294/1041ux8.jpg]here[/url], [url=http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/2608/hhhjrl0.jpg]here[/url], and [url=http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/3071/img262113bs44iw3.jpg]here[/url]. The key is that it's only raised, exposed areas that get worn most of the time. With the MP44, though, because the paint was very cheap, even just regular operation would cause the paint to wear off, leading to exposed metal on areas that wouldn't necessary be scratched or scraped by the user.

Now I can finally put my gun on some sort of display.
As I know you guys love AK's, here is my horrible mutalated piece. I have no idea of it's history because it was a broken second hand pass on but the internals were pretty much top notch (Guarder and systema) I fixed it up but there is still something off about it.

Nice Cobra sight, is it genuine?
It's actually kind of nice, the wood could use a repaint though
ye
the wood is the only thing wrong with it
other than that it's the 74 i wish i had (well besides vityaz's)
74 with a wooden handguard and skeleton stock. Not something I'm seeing every day. Yeah, the wood needs some work, otherwise it's awesome.
and kobra
[QUOTE=TheHypnotoad;33341861]but there is still something off about it. [/QUOTE]
The stock looks pretty sharply angled. The stock on a real AKS-74 (or any 74, for that matter) goes straight back, with the upper 'bar' nearly parallel to the barrel. I posted a Javelin AK-74 a while back in another thread that had the same odd feature, perhaps the previous owner took it and swapped out the stock with a skeletal one. For reference, [url=http://www.freewebs.com/dreamteamroy/aks-74.jpg]here[/url]'s a real AKS-74, and [url=http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y230/capone5/DSC06336.jpg]here[/url]'s the Javelin one.
Otherwise I think your AK looks fine. You could probably stand to re-stain the wood handguard.

My friend had one of those, but he made his automatic to be "jus liek cowwadooty". It would have been cool, but you had no option but to dump the whole mag in one burst. Shot nice tho.
It's quite a strong shooter, being c02, only problem I've had with it is the mags, they're enormous, weigh as much as the pistol, and the tab that causes the slide-catch to operate has worn off on both of them.
[QUOTE=scotty1;33348734]Did you Bedazzle the grip?[/QUOTE]
Used a soldering knife to stipple the grip with holes. Feels like sand paper, looks like a wasp's next. :v:
eugh, stippling
whyyy
hammerless pistols are so sexy
