Here are some pictures of my ACR replica.  It is true bolt action, so will fire hard and far, with removable, internal pusher magazines.  It also looks very accurate (although some dimensions have been slightly tweaked to gain the best performance from the weapon), and handles very well, although it is slightly front-heavy, due to the complex ramp mechanism for the bolt action coupled with a lightweight hollow stock.  The stock could be filled in to counterbalance the front-heaviness, but I have tried this and prefer the overall weight reduction to the perfect balance.  The iron sights are also very close to the actual weapon's.

The overall mechanism was taken from my F2000, however this has a working mechanical trigger (rather than the rather disappointing and botched string trigger than put so many off building it) and the location of the bolt in this design is much more practical and ergonomic than the F2000.  There is also a sophisticated mag release lever which can be operated without taking a finger off the trigger, as indicated in the slideshow.

To summarise, it is lighter, easier to handle, is easier to use, and is more accurate than my F2000.  It also has a trigger.

Yet again, some credit to Ironman69 for the mag pusher idea.

This is the old version, for some reason I assumed you'd made the newer version which I don't think I've even posted pictures of. It is 7 layers thick, so I would have been impressed if you'd managed to get that one exactly right bearing in mind you couldn't see any of the internal layers/

Kinetic says: Dec 4, 2010. 1:45 PM
I love how you are taking bolt action to all different types of guns! Keep it up.
tom tom go says: Nov 14, 2010. 12:55 AM

Brammetje says: Nov 4, 2010. 6:07 AM

Erm, yeah.

Most of the photos are taken, but I used too high a resolution and they won't upload. I'm going to have to redo it.
Torpe in reply to knexguyOct 31, 2010. 6:15 AM
You have to redo all of the instructions?
knexguy (author) in reply to TorpeOct 31, 2010. 2:40 PM
I have all the text together, but I have to redo all the pictures, which means I have to re-disassemble the weapon and then do the whole making process again.
Torpe in reply to knexguyNov 1, 2010. 6:21 PM
How long will it take? I want to build this really bad...
Brammetje says: Oct 28, 2010. 10:33 AM
Are you going to make a string trigger or a normal trigger because on your f2000 you didn't put the instructions for the string. allthough the gun looks great!
:{D Gr. BRAMMETJE!
knexguy (author) in reply to BrammetjeOct 29, 2010. 4:28 AM
No, this one has a mechanical trigger. The tan rod running from the trigger to the top of the weapon is part of it.
Brammetje in reply to knexguyOct 29, 2010. 7:45 AM
oke because I don't like string triggers
Gr. BRAMMETJE.
Torpe says: Oct 24, 2010. 6:23 AM
Leave on the iron sights you have on. In my opinion they are better than barrax's
Torpe in reply to TorpeOct 26, 2010. 5:13 PM
How's it coming? I'm checking this page literally every day to see if you've posted it :)
knexguy (author) in reply to TorpeOct 26, 2010. 7:11 AM
I like the whole weapon more on the whole, but I've spent ages debugging mine, and I didn't have Barrax's for long. I definitely think this is a more advanced build, Barrax's ACR was a little skimpy on parts in quite a few areas. Mine weighs a couple of kilos now.
Torpe in reply to knexguyOct 27, 2010. 5:36 AM
Are you almost done? It's the 27th. I'm not trying to nag, just really excited to build this!
knexguy (author) in reply to TorpeOct 27, 2010. 6:24 AM
About halfway there, it should be done Saturday night.
Seleziona in reply to knexguyOct 27, 2010. 3:18 PM
nice :D
Torpe says: Sep 13, 2010. 3:11 PM
Please post, man. It would be a crime not to post this. I'm asking you nicely now, but if you don't post this soon I will start typing in CAPITOL LETTERS!!!!! Trust me, you don't want that to happen :)

Do you know when you will post this? I want to make it sooo bad.
