Replica M-98 Black Widow from the Mass Effect series

Step 5: Buttstock, Rails and Scope

The buttstock was completed the same way as the grip, and the forward portion of the grip was added also.  The top and bottom rails were added to cover up the channels where the wiring run for the LEDs.  There is a hole in the bottom of the scope as well as the rail to pass through the wires for the batter pack and switch in the scope.  Notches were cut on the radial arm saw

The scope box was constructed the same way as the main body.  A hole was cut on the side to pass the battery pack through and the on/off button was put on the side also.

The scopes both needed a coupler placed over them to use as the connection with the bipod legs.  These couplers have a small ridge in the middle to keep you from pressing the pipe to far, these were removed with a sanding bit on the Dremel tool, the insides were sanded down until they fit over the pipe and slid back and forth smoothly.
