That would not be cool if the box magazine got wet.
Looks like a fair quality item on the outside though.

I would definitely Gun Tape The fuck out of that box mag... that or make one out of plastic...

R.I.T.Z · January 22nd, 2011, 16:09

its for the realism, but i do foresee an issue with durability....
a plastic one, or lots of duct tape may remedy that.

I would just mod a piece of tupperware. May not be authentic but I'd prefer i to work than to look pretty.

Or get a real steel one and modify it, that's what G&P did with their box mag =D

the real steel is a box inside a canvas bag like the m60......

M60/M249 100 round cardboard boxes can be purchased for $3.00 each, so I'm not too worried about it - except for the labor of changing one out.

Wow, can you be cheaper than a CARDBOARD box mag?
Yeesh.

Its totally possible.

A used news paper.

A used sock.

No cardboard box mag at all and in the instruction manual it details how to construct one out of the box that the gun came in.

not gonna lie that sounds kinda cool

EagleDriver · January 23rd, 2011, 11:09

I won't disassemble the one that comes with the gun, but I ordered a pack of real steel ones, and when they come in I will make a cut out template. That way anyone can either make more cardboard ones or make something out of plastic. One guy who bought one from me is even making one out of galvanized ducting (since he is an HVAC tech.)

my oh my that is a sexy MG

EagleDriver · January 23rd, 2011, 20:42

I took the orange cap off of the flash hider. I actually took a screw driver to the front of it just to test how solidly it was glued on and it came right off. I also added a belt of fake rounds to spice it up. Now I just need to make a tripod mount...

Without heat shield:

R.I.T.Z · January 23rd, 2011, 21:20

looks very nice without the heat shield....
