hes calling it a custom one based on the cyma. with full wood. but of course its only a 1928 front end. however this could mean the rumored chinese kits due to come out soon as thats alot cheaper than AZR's released version even with the gun included.

That looks really nice! I suppose the main thing wrong is the bolt on the side, rather than on the top..?

Would any 1928 rivet-counters like to comment? :wink:

Can't tell from the pics but it doesnt look like the receiver is wider.... that and the bolt is on the side. I would imagine its the usual M1a1 with a front end on it.

That just looks wrong.

The right receiver really is important.

I assume you're bringing yours to Haggard ? I'd like to compare and contrast the two versions. :)

yea the receiver on the 1928 is wider and has the bolt on the top. think the selectors and mag catch have slight differences too. looks nice I feel though

Not bad but the barrel looks too thin, or the Cutts compensator is too big? The cocking handle should be on top. The rear sight is totally wrong. Correct sight would be lift up with rectangular side guards. The butt is also sliding on a 1928 so you wouldnt see any round fixing holes. And for a military type M1928 it would have a standard foregrip........Brit Thompsons would have had it chequered awkward swine!!

Nice attempt but if you are going to try and sell a custom make sure its actually realistic!!!

Yawn...... Yiths thompson looks the dogs bollocks but these ones with a M1A1 rear end is sooo wrong, should I bung a MP40 front end on a MP5? I think not,
