nothing new here? im so in for some barrels or even the full blasters...those look great, even without the curve they are miles ahead of a rubies!

I hope you brought extras!
If you make these as accurate as they appear to be turning out....your going to have a huge interest.

Left one has curve. Too subtle?

The camera angle doesn't really show it off that much so it's kinda hard to tell that theres a little curve to it

It is quite more subtle than the curve on the MRs, but it is better than nothing at all. It's your project so you get to decided ultimately, but if it were mine I'd go with a little more curve if it's something that's easily done. Either way, looking good. Like I've said, best fan made blasters I've ever seen!

Just an update. Barrel on bottom is my prototype. Barrel on top is current. It's not finished but you get the idea.

No, these are not built to the WOF templates. I sat out on the deck one sunny saturday last summer and scaled my own drawing from a bunch of photos. Even so it is close to the WOF measurements. The biggest difference is in the diameter of the barrel and the flash suppressor. Mine are about 20% less than WOF in those areas. The barrel is slightly longer ,also. I believe it looks less bulky that way. The major difference will be in the finish. The MR's look highly polished, these will not be, as befitting a military weapon.
