oops..I got to remember not to post a third pic..cause I can never see the whole comment..Anyway, here is the barrel
Since I'm making this gun shoot, I have to keep the barrel hollow so I didn't put the tube ends on and I cut holes where I needed to

 I'm working on an Fn Minimi But it's taking FOREVER!!! Your AK looks Uber mega detailed.
Dec 14, 2009. 5:50 PMaj01-01 says:
sweet, that should be nice
yeah..I did make some modifications (making it shoot) but I can't take credit for the detail in the design, you can make it using the pics here. This is the first gun I have ever made without designing it myself.
Dec 30, 2009. 3:16 PMEl Chucko Norris says:
 Thanks man. I'm working on a revolver and FN Minnimi for a movie.
Nov 16, 2009. 7:38 AMaj01-01 says:
here are a few more
Nov 16, 2009. 7:53 AMaj01-01 says:
Oh and a few more...I made the grip too
like the stock..the inside of the grip is reinforced with cardboard...the cardboard sticking out of the grip is there to make a strong attachment to the receiver
Nov 16, 2009. 9:50 AMaj01-01 says:

the cardboard I use is not corrugated so its like ultra thick and hard to cut

Dec 30, 2009. 5:44 PMLoosewire; SOE Operative says:
So what is the cardboard that you buy called??
Jan 21, 2010. 12:32 PMaj01-01 says:
um..I think its called paperboard, but I don't buy it...Someone gave me tons of it
Nov 16, 2009. 1:20 PMaj01-01 says:

Sep 24, 2010. 8:58 PMthe gizmoman says:
Nice ive made one too though I'm still getting the hang of making hard paper for stuff like this (hard paper is several layers of paper laminated together to form a fairly stiff paper board for those of you that don't know a reall good example is the functional paper fire arms from tacome1942 from youtube )
Sep 21, 2010. 2:54 PMaj01-01 says:

Sep 20, 2010. 2:57 PMaj01-01 says:

May 22, 2010. 6:21 PMdavison112 says:

Jun 2, 2010. 9:19 AMdavison112 says:
Great! I forgot to post the pic on instructables and made like 5 other guns....

Good God... I have... A famas (peice of poo), an OCIW (undoubtadly my best next to my smg) a minigun (FREAKING HUGE), and a sniper my mom tossed because it was on my floor -_-

as far as melee weapons go, i have a popsiclestick katana, easily 5ft long, a cordboard/popsicle stick hybrid energy sword, and a cardboard scythe, easily 7ft tall.

Dec 14, 2009. 2:36 PMEl Chucko Norris says:

Dec 13, 2009. 5:01 PMEl Chucko Norris says:
 I'll post some of my own soon also. Great job man
Dec 7, 2009. 7:52 AMaj01-01 says:
and here is the stock, the supports I put in the stock became visible after I painted it...I didn't know htat would happen but I might keep it that way
Dec 7, 2009. 7:48 AMaj01-01 says:
here is the latest
I gave the barrel a coat of grey primer first then put some metallic on it
the stock and the handguard have been painted flat black

Dec 1, 2009. 10:59 AMaj01-01 says:
here is one of the many papermodel kits I have, but haven't assembled yet
i'm thinking if I start this flak sometime this year...I could have done in like..2 years? ;)
na..not 2 years lol, but it its scale is 1:25 and is highly detailed, it would take me a while thats for sure

Dec 1, 2009. 10:59 AMaj01-01 says:
(these pictures are from the kit)
Nov 16, 2009. 3:45 PMaj01-01 says:
got some springs for the receiver today :D they should be able to shoot something pretty far, we will see
Nov 16, 2009. 7:31 AMaj01-01 says:
Ok, I have only made a few minor modifications to the model so far. I'm working on the stock now

here some pics of the stock so far...
The cardboard is for reinforcement purposes..I reinforce most big parts like this with cardboard..(it makes the parts as hard a rock)
If I made it like I was supposed to...there would be nothing in between the sides on the sotck and I wasn't going to have that lol
Nov 15, 2009. 1:11 PMaj01-01 says:
I'll post pics of the AK-47 in progress soon
