Hey! If you are anti-gun (or anti-Super-Soaker for that matter), skip looking at this. However, it is for fun and the text on the page explains my take. (URL) Anchikoski randy@viclug.tzo.com (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.build) !!

Maybe Shiri can tell us if this young man is any competition for an Israeli soldier... Nice model, BTW. I have the weird feeling this one will catch negative feedback -- not so much for the building skills of its creator (which are obviously pretty (...) (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.build)

(...) I like the forearm and scope the most. And it looks like with a few slight modifications, the stock could be made to fold up over scope... Overall, very nice, and realistic to boot. Can't wait to see how you'll pull off the bolt-action! -Chris (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.build)

Thanks for the feedback and positive comments. The politics are a problem and I debated posting in the first place. I grew up with a gun around and my dad ALWAYS kept the clip and bold separate and hidden (3 generations before it became law up here (...) (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.build)

Thanks for the reply! Folding stock is a great idea. Maybe fold under though, and I doubt Technic pins or axles would hold the weight. I'll try to think of something... As for the bold, shouldn't be a problem except I'll probably have to use a large (...) (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.build)

Yup, spell checker found 'bold' and it is indeed a word. The word should have been 'bolt'. As for firing objects, I suppose it could be done except my barrel is non-hollow. I'd have to devise a different system. Randy -- Randy Anchikoski (...) (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.build)

Truly amazing! Where do you get so many grey pieces from? Maybe you could now build a complete arsnel- grenades, machine guns, handguns, ammo belts etc. Mike (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.build)

Thanks! The grey pieces came from 6339 Shuttle Launch Pad and I guess a few Y-Wings. I intend to make a few more of these things as time goes by. Just got a new job, however, so it may be a while until time is free again. L'8er! Randy Michael Firman (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.build)
