knex m1 garand

knex m1 garand
he he he... well, here out of noware I have made my m1 garand. there is some histor behid this gun, and with this one I got around 90ft of range with 1 #64 rubber band with a sniper round. (credit to killerk for the mecanisum)

v1: I took the mag off my carbine and added a semi auto cogwheel. hated it so turned back to my m1 carbine.

v2:built a huge peice wasting thing with a semi auto cogwheel. quit when I realised I had to make 5 o the frame (lol)

v3:made somthing smaller and better. finished with semi auto cogwheel yet it fired rubber bands and the frame was not able to take the force of 8.

v4: made a springfeild sniper and made it into a m1

v5:atamted to fit the m1 with a fiering pin mag bolt action system. realiesd in a bad way that was not my thing...

v6:fitted it with an sr-v1 type trigger and changed some stuff around

v7 latest:just added a trigger gaured and moded the bullet
