Got my Licence a couple months back and first Slot filled was for a 17HMR
Original plan was cheapish second hand CZ
some months before i had found and bought a set of second hand Accuracy International Stock skins on here
found a few builds dropping various Rimfires into Airsoft AI rifles
Skins by a CZ455
I decided to Make a Chassis my self as it looked easier in a lot of ways than adapting an airsoft chassis
Quickly found that although i could buy AI spares for the Butt pad cheek piece and folding hinge they are ridiculously expensive (Hinge was £300 = $455)
So back to airsoft as i can buy parts fine a new set of bits from China ARES who make the AI approved Airsoft version and is accurate so is interchangeable etc
here are the Airsoft parts all delivered under £100 (could make the box section as well but its cheap to get with the rest and no real difference in the end )
AI being a british company back in the 80's and being a design engineer myself was easye nough to understand how they though so the AI chassis is based on basic 1" and 1.25" 10swg wall aluminium Tube easy enough to get lengths on eBay
1st assy (no hinge etc yet)
then measured up and put into CAD
Airsoft parts arrived
Still hadnt HAd my Fire arm licence approved then so kept adding to the CAD and changing a few things.
By now i had Decided ot get an Anschultz 1517 and the shorter 14" barrel
this made the Rifle fall under the Min over all length of 600mm with the folded stock so I extended the Chassis fwds of the barrel now all legal again and looks fine with the Reflex Moderator
would bb fine with a Fixed stock or a min barrel length of 15" for the folder
Finally got my Ticket in Feb abd bought my Anny
Shot it std for a while as i didn't have time to finish the in letting yet
Also Modified the 4rnd mag to take 5 rounds :bthumb::AR15firin
a Quick vid on the std rifle (including how I modded the mag for 5 rnds )
Finally last week got the Whole package together (well will retinker as and when )
Packed
and fitted with my DIY Night vision with Wireless Video Goggles
Finally i tried to do a over view Vid but the wind was to bad and drowned out hte Talking so i chopped it to a slide and clip show till i can do it again
and found 5 other Vids of other AI airsoft builds for a playlist
and it works Superbly with a magpul Gen4 sling etc
very stable and well balanced as a bit extra weight helps here
thanks for looking
