Looks good to me.

Did you make the wood bits from scratch or are they genuine?

We might end up trying something like this because I'm getting tired of turning up with a farby M14 and our phillipines contact seems to have disappeared with a not inconsiderable amount of our money lol.

Its all plastic,fibreglass & plenty of resin too,gone rock hard,you need a sander to do it,doing by hand was very hard, took me 2 days to do,but very happy i got it nearly in shape,cheaper that way and quicker,my first atempt doing it.

The Phillipines chap has resurfaced, hurrah, so I won't have to do a really shoddy copy of E-Company's excellent job above.

I would, but unless you can read Japanese it's a bitch of a site to navigate and look over lol also I have to determine if the site is active and not just there to tempt us

If I find anything more.....

link to site - http://werkstattelbe.fc2web.com/

link to blog, which shows the mags - http://flitzwerke.blog39.fc2.com/blog-date-200712.html

link to custom work examples they have done - http://flitz.web.infoseek.co.jp/Werkstatt_2.html

They also appear to have made custom M14/M1 stocks discarding the M14 buttplate and use a real M1 plate - looks just like the one on my Real M1 stock

Any information would be great Rich as there are other weapons of interest
