Here's my scratchbuilt M42A from the Technical Manual:

Built from MDF, plastic and aluminium - real scope fitted with 'working' cocking handle and bipod.

More build pics here

This will be part of my load-out for the Mem '06 drop next weekend.

I've been wanting to make one of these for the longest time but a) don't have a workshop and b) don't have any tools.
It looks fantastic though!!

WHY DO YOU TAUNT ME SO?!?!?!?!?

It looks fantastic man! :D

Another project on my "to do" list- but just like Tony, I don't have the proper tools (much less the time to work on it ;) ).

Once again well done!

Could you (if possible) send me over a list of what parts you used and a few measurements to create this masterpiece?

I can see the MDF size and shape but the rest is eluding me.
This is definately one I want to do before DC07 and I'm sure Sarg here is drooling as much as I am.

I've now added a (Thompson) sling to it and the graffiti "They salute I shoot" to the LHS of the receiver.

I'll get some dims and a diagram done for those who are interested.
