Absolutely brilliant . The n frame round butt grips I got from the company were also a bit lighter in color than the factory grips. I just lived with it but seeing how good they came out wishing I would have tried to stain them. Figured weight would be different but does it change the balance?
Not much in the weight. The plastic side of grip without the hex key from memory is slightly lighter than the wooden one. Bear in mind the plastic ones I weighed had hot glue in as well so that added to the weight. If it were standard, the plastic would be much lighter compared to the wood. Feels great in the hand. Amazing difference. I’m so pleased with it. The balance is superb. The feel, positioning and hold of the thing is on a different level compared to the plastic ones
I was pretty sure the wood grip will be more heavier than the plastic grip ! (even with the hot glue) Happy to see than the silver and the brass cartridges are the same I will see tuesday when i will receive my 3" 4.5mm if there is or not an adjustable hop-up, i see no videos talking to that but in the descriptions there is an adjustable hop-up Thanks a lot ! And yes, the wood grip is the really final touch who was missing to this m29, now it is perfect 👍
Hi, the wood grip did come in a little heavier than the plastic one (without the hex key) from memory but very little in it. Also have to bear in mind that I had to hollow out a lot of the wood and the plastic one is larger. Anyway, the weight doesn’t really play I part to be fare. Yes I could fill in areas of the wood to make it heavier but I don’t see the point. It’s very well balanced. Just the feel of holding it with the wood grip is totally different. So much nicer. Don’t even compare it to that of the white gripped trust me one! That was like holding a brick!! You won’t find a hopup on the 4.5mm model. That’s only in the 6mm airsoft version. It will have the hopup hole in the top of the barrel but there won’t be anything inside.
Hi my friend. It looks super nice. Thanks for the shout-out🙏. Looking forward to your next videos and when you get the 8 inch version. Take care and have a great day. Greetings from Norway😃
No worries. It’s guys like you who inspire others like me to get hands on. There are so many pros on RU-vid and I enjoy their videos but there is something special about watch guys like you. No fancy setup or film equipment. Just the video content and information that is really useful to us mere mortals.
lol you know what it is, I crop the video so you can’t see all the crap around where I’m filming. I will try harder next time. I genuinely appreciate your feedback. I’ve only just figured out VHS! 🤣
Great job, impressive I saw on the last video you put resin uv inside the original plastic grip Do you put it inside right and left side of the grip ? I will be curious to know the weight compared to the finished wood grip ?
Hi, thanks for your comment. What you saw was actually hot glue. It certainly made the grips more sturdy and stopped that annoying creaking. The original grips would be a bit heavier than the wooden ones I’m guessing as they had the hex key tool fixed to it. The glue also added weight. If I can find my scales I will include a weight difference on my next video for you.
@@Waxmaxoh thanks a lot for the detailed answer I receive mine ( 3" 4.5mm) tuesday I will use pellets even if this is the only size who has no riffles barrel Of what I read even with the 4.5mm BB's shells that will be ok but I will test also with bb's I will do the easy changes in a first time and maybe if i find the power not enough, i will try the drilling but the problem is that the only seller of the complete valve is in UK (and out of stock) so no room for error I thought ther will be m29 parts in french store or Europe stors but apparently even on ebay there is no modding for this m29/629 Thanks a lot for yours videos,that helps a lot 🙂
Hi there, I’m guessing you found Bagnall & Kirkwood website which is the only place in UK that I have to sell parts for the m29. I just looked on there and they are indeed out of stock of the valve assembly. I might have bought the last one. Sorry about that. I’m sure they will be getting more in. However. I’m sure you won’t need one. Don’t bother drilling the holes in the valve itself to start with. That is very tricky. It takes a lot of time and precision and the drill bit needs to be about 1.5mm. They break easily. And you have to drill at an angle whilst avoiding contact with the valve seat lip. The easiest way to increase the power is to drill the main assembly which is the aluminium part. Just take your time. Use the size drill bits mentioned in my video and start small and build up 0.5mm at a time. If you do decide to drill it. Go and buy new bits. Keep the hole lubricated and take your time. Don’t build up too much heat and keep cleaning the swarf out the hole and off the drill bit. As for the shells, I have both the bb and pellet ones. I have looked through an eyeglass at both types seals. They are the same apart from the colour. I will be doing a video shortly and I will try and show you what I mean. Basically, they both work with either ammo
Hi there, what did your comment say? I’ve certainly not removed or deleted any comments not even the negative ones. Thanks for your positivity. I’ve spent many hours working on it. I’ve now sanded down and will look at staining today if I can mix up a colour that I like. Then I will finish with tru oil which I’ve ordered. It’s a great product from Birchwood Casey. I’ve used it before on another airgun that I’m yet to do a video on. But that video will be coming up
Good question! I have already fitted a metal dowel rod. That alone creates a good solid fit with zero movement. However, I will be fitting one more and also a magnetic fastener which will be sunk in to the inside of the grip. The dowels will keep its place whilst the magnet will keep the grip on
❤❤❤Got no words, even though I have seen all other videos of this project. So beautiful and well done!!! So greatly finished!! ❤❤So good for my confidence, that is so down!!
Thanks Rune. Been doing a bit of sanding since that video. It’s all shaped nicely now and the co2 removable grip is on and a good fit. I have used a metal pin as a locator and have a magnet on order which will be the fastener. Might see about mixing a stain tomorrow. I’m very pleased so far. Just hope I get a good stain in nice colour. Need to think about whether to use tru oil once stained. It gives a beautiful gloss finish. But I’m still debating. I have loads of screenshots of model 29s grips I’m using as reference. They all look to be lacquered grips. Will see what I think once the stain is on
@@Waxmax It sure looks good. I had a S&W 686 back in the 1980s. Beautiful wood grip. Think it was laqured/varnished and had a shiney look. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Norway
Oh the good old days before strict gun controls. I can see why it had to happen but perhaps gone a bit over the top. I never had a real firearm although I have used a few many years ago. I had, going back a lot of years, a couple of Brocock airgun revolvers. They were the air cartridge ones if you remember them. A pain to charge each cartridge as back then you had to use a stirrup pump and it was a real workout with many pumps for just one cartridge. They were beautifully made guns. Amazing in fact. They were soon outlawed in the UK as apparently people were converting them to fire live rounds. So I lost mine like so many others. Meant to be a lead ban coming our way too!! Where the hell will it all end. Wish I could stay living in the 80’s!!
A great idea but wouldn’t be economically viable. The time it takes and the money it would cost or I could charge and what limited people would spend/think it’s worth. Put it this way; I have spent at least 15 hours alone on the m29 ones! Crazy
Hello again!! In fact it is to bad that we are to far apart. Each time I watch or ''rewatch'' these videos I feel it more. Anyway. the thickness of the metal of these cans, and its softness make this ideals to end problems of fitness as for exemple if a barrel does not fit a little forced to the frame on a revolver replica. Or on other parts in replica guns or other things as well. As I am in a country where parts are hard to find, and expensive sometimes, I have to get them from another sources and then modify them. Little bolts (for 1911 grips and alike)comes from old house interruptors, electric sockets, and damaged home circuit breakers, also bring some interesting components that you will use. Please check this and let me know when possible, if this is not too much asking. Those computer dust printers also have lots of parts for electric replicas ( but I do not like electric replicas, and unfortunately I do not know nothing of electronics so far) but they got lots of springs that despite of having strange shapes, may have lots of use on replicas. As well as theis small and tiny small bolts, nuts, metal or plastic frames supports, brackets, and so on, The dust ink cassets also have plastic gears, that may be used or replicas, but I do not know for sure, and they have an aluminium cilindrical tube, that can become a silencer or other part, funny springs, and a magnetic axle. Here there is a big problem: the super thin dust. And I can not get rid of this, how I wish I could find some help here. I got around 400 cassets for disassemlbing...
Hello, thank you very much for your work and effort. I found a page on the Internet who is called „Woodgripsandmore“ because I myself have also the idea of adjusting wooden Handgrips for my M29 Smith&Wesson Revolver. Unfortunately, the fishbone skin is missing from these wooden Grips, but you could pushing in the Fishbone Skin, and you could take the original emblems from the original Grips and insert them into the wooden handles. You only have to incorporate the fish skin and emblems, but as skilled in craftsmanship as you are, this should not be a problem for you. But your result still looks very good. Cheers and thank‘s again
Thanks for your message. I’m not sure what fishbone skin is? I googled it and seen images but those don’t represent the grips that I am fitting and replicate the gun from live and let die??
@@WaxmaxHi, i mean the pattern of the wooden grips Like this Originals do you have from Thailand because the woodgrips from the Woodgripsandmore unfortunately haven‘ the pattern and emblems. Here, only the pattern has to be incorporated into the wood The advantage of these handles is that you don't have to work the frame too much. But yes, I understand that you would look the revolver as authentic as possible as in Live And Let Die.
Hi again, I understand what you mean now thanks. Not sure where in the world you are but does Thailand not post to you? I like the smooth grips. I believe they are called “presentation grips” in fact, these grips were fitted to a couple of the Dirty Harry guns featured in the films. If you search Dirty Harry gun on RU-vid you will find a guy who looks over an original Dirty Harry gun and that has the smooth grips fitted. They are also missing the emblem. Look nice! I certainly would attempt to create that stippled/fish skin look without the correct tooling. I believe it was all done by machine.
@@Waxmax Hi Waxmax, thanks again for your message, I live in Germany. I ordered years ago the woodgrips that you have, also from Thailand for my Smith & Wesson 586 pellet CO2 and was realy suprised from the realy good workmanship. Maybe i try the Woodsandmore grips But i like the one you have at most. Hope you will be continue with the work on your fabulous M29 with the Great N Frame grips. Cheers
Hi again!! I am sooo happy that you came up so fast with this video. It was so ggot to watch it. Meanwhile, I bought the ASG chromed 6inc Dan Wesson, and I am so damn afraid that it could break like the blued M29😮😢😢!! I emptied only one C02, so far... And I would prefer to change it grips to wood ones, like you are Bravery doing to yours M29s... Keep showing us your moves, please!! At least I get know-how, and courage!!
Hi. The Dan Wesson is a good looking replica. Well made to I believe. Does your shells load from the front or back? I know the earlier ones loaded from the front by unscrewing the fake bullet. The later loaded from the back. If they load from the back it’s a newer model with increased fps. Would be good to see what you have and what grips you want to fit. You should upload a video
@@Waxmax Hi again!! My DW l's she'll load from the front. The gun itself looks strong, but now that I got it here, all it's making is not different from your M29s. I have WhatsApp and I can show it with all the details. I am disappointed with the construction and afraid it breaks. And even before I bought it, I watched many good videos about it. So it was not a complete surprise. We should talk through other means... ( At this very moment I am watching again that video where you show your broken blued M29...)
You can buy the rear loading shells if you wanted them. I have seen and held the Dan Wesson and it looked really nice. I wouldn’t worry about cracking the frame. The only reason this happened with me is because the co2 seal retaining nut wasn’t fitted properly so when tightening the co2 it just leaked. To try and stop the leaks I overtightened it way too much. I mean a lot, and that caused the crack in frame. If your seals are ok you will only need to lightly tighten the co2 in place.
@@Waxmax 1000 Thanks for your explanation about the reasons that lead to your frame M29's crack. You had told that before. About the loading shells as I told you they are load from the front, but there is no need to unscrew the fake projectil. It is made of a rubberish soft plastic that allows it to be done this way. My BBs are on a table, and I press the ''ammo'' upside down agais it, and it goes in... I got here some live real .357Mags, and soon I will check if they fit in the cylinder. Of course the only reason is to check the realism of the replica, on this ''chapter''... I like to own the most realistic replicas I can afford. And if they work close to the real thing, it is even better. If I could afford japanese replicas, and find a way to bring them here, 70% of my fears and problems with replicas, would go away maybe forever!! I am going now watch the 2 videos from you I have not yet seen!!
That’s astonishing really. Looking very good and respect the dedication. Metal butt plates were a thing in the 70s and would like to get one for my 629. I say go with the butt plate. It’s rare for a YT channel to get a lot of subs quickly. Many channels are on for years before they get traction unless they do something viral.
Thanks appreciate your comments. I didn’t know that about the 70s. Very interesting. I will do the plate and then see how it all turns out with and without and go from there. More bloody work! 😂 but I do enjoy it. Just wish I had more tools to make it easier. I’m working with hand tools and a pillar drill.
Hi, Can't you use rechargeable 8g or maybe 12g sparklet ? Maybe you will get more space ? Like this, the sparklet will not need to move A hole in the wood grip to reload the sparklet
Hmm. If you shorten the grip you might be able to use the 8 gram CO2 canisters. How about cutting the bottom of the plastic grips and glue the to wood grip? Not sure how good it will look 🤔. Good luck whatever you choose😃👍
Thanks for your message Rune. Yes this a bit perplexing! I did the video today as received the grips only yesterday. I have now cut the piece from old damaged gun and it does fit. I’m now thinking about seeing if I can get this welded in place. But then I’m wondering if the heat will damage the chrome plating. I have many ideas running through my head right now. I have carved out one side of the new grip apart from the very bottom until I decide on what option I will choose. I did think about smaller co2. I’ve been working on it all day so I’m taking a break and will sleep on it and look again with fresh eyes and mind tomorrow. Definitely won’t be using any part of plastic grip though. I like a challenge but this one really is a challenge!!
@@Waxmax Just be careful with using any sort of heat on the gun. I think its made of potmetal/zink and will melt at only 420 C. Maybe soldering is an option. Not sure 🤔. Good luck with the mod😃👍
Amazing!! Can’t wait to see it on your video. I do miss your replica airgun videos. I’m also toying with the idea of buying the 8 inch one. There is a company here in uk selling new for £130. As I already have the old useable parts from my black/blued one, I would have the option to swop the barrels over from a new 8 inch to my existing 6.5 inch. I just love this model. Always have.
@@Waxmax Thanks my friend. They didnt have the 8 inch in BB or pellet. Only in 6mm airsoft. Iam looking forward to use it. Maybe powertune it like you have done. Hope you post more videos soon also😃. Greetings from Norway😃
Hello again. Every time I watch a video of yours, I love this channel more. All your thoughts shown here, are mine, as I will someday buy the same replicas and/or others, and I want to change their grips, of these very models, and others I do not own yet, but I have seen on videos here, and photos on the sites. Now: rechrome this material, well I do not know, my friend... Ask those that know non-ferrous "metals", like zamac. 😮 I know that now they chrome these sort of metals and even plastics, like these we see here. ( I am not teaching you anything, as I can not, and you know away much more). I love building and creating things. I love D.I.Y.,and modeling diverse toys and dioramas. And above all, I love replica guns. How I'd love to own the Japanese ones ❤❤. 1000 Thanks for this video!!
Bless you. Thank you for your kind words. I have lots to think about that for sure. Might upload a shorts video tomorrow with a small update on progress so far.
Heck of a job in front of you. Can’t wait to see it. I had a pair by that same company . I had a 629 classic that had a round butt , they had the classic grips that converted it to square. They were a good quality.
I know you have dexterity problems so if you do get an m29 and want me to drill the two extra holes in valve let me know and I will do it for you as a fellow RU-vidr who’s content I enjoy watching
Thanks Rune. It’s certainly double the power now. I have a set of wood grips on order but will take a few weeks to arrive. Then I need to find, adapt and fit a rifled barrel. Then my quest will be complete in making the model that Umarex should have made in the first place. Well, in my opinion 🤣. I liked your Charlie vid btw. I look forward to seeing more on that one!!
@@Waxmax Thanks my friend. The Charlie is a cool beast of a pistol. Hope to make more videos of it soon. A rifled barrel in the M29 sounds great. After watching your videos I have been thinking of buying one, but they are quite expencive here. Its ca £220
@@runerebel8441 thank you. The price is pretty much the same here. Only £20 less. Money is money but the cost of these things is low considering most hobbies. What I really like about the m29 is that it has a great look, feel and action. The fact that as standard it shoots straight and has both elevation and windage. It’s just missing that rifled barrel, power and grips. I can’t wait to get it finished. You should get one!! I’ve always loved this model. Didn’t you have the airsoft version? If you did/still do, I bet it’s the same workings.
@@Waxmax i have 2 Norinco 56s and your gun looks very similar and I was interested do stocks fit because european and russian AK are a bit bigge thsn chineser and stock do not fit without fixing it smaller to get it on. Sorry my english is not so good.
Thanks for your message. I know real ak’s are known for being a bit clunky and a slightly loose mag can’t affect it in the real steel. But as this is co2, the slightest gap between the mag and barrel would cause a massive difference due to co2 escaping. You should wait till you see what I did with the ak74u! I am really really pleased with that one. Vid will be coming
Hi again and thank you. The answer is yes! Oh yes!!!! There is a reason why I haven’t done an update on this yet. I am waiting for a new and better chronograph to arrive. The mods I have done have had such a dramatic affect, I want to be certain it is within the uk laws before posting a video otherwise I will end up detuning it!
.22 airgun pellet I’m guessing you mean? It certainly could but would obviously need to change the barrel and adapt the shells by replacing the rubber seals for larger ones. The other matter would be the valve tube. When the hammer hits, it pushes the valve (tube) forward so it butts up to the back of the pellet. This is obviously sized for 177 pellets. I guess it would still work on .22 pellets. If not, the valve tube would need to be replaced with a suitable .22 one. And then, if doing that, the end of the valve housing where the valve tube pushes out from would also need to be drilled out to .22 size. Then you would also need to replace the rubber o ring inside the valve as it is also sized for the standard 177 valve. The washer that protects the o ring from the spring would also need to be drilled out to .22. Personally I would leave the valve alone and try it first with just the barrel and shell mods. If you do this please let me know how you get on. I will be changing the inner barrel on mine at some point for a full length rifled 177 one
Interesting video. I did convert a semi auto. I only had to remove two parts from the mecanism. I made a video of it "Umarex MP40, Semiauto Gun Made Fullauto". I posted it back in 2018. Works fine but you loose the semiauto funktion. I didnt mind since the orginal MP40 only shot in fullauto. Cheers from Norway 😃
Hi Rune, thanks for your message and for viewing. I am subscribed to your channel and do enjoy your content. I did watch your conversion. Although I know how to do it I wouldn’t dare as I’m in the UK and would be illegal due to our “unique” laws!! I am keen on increasing power outputs whilst staying well within UK legal limits. Not sure why the manufacturers keep them so low other than co2 consumption. I also like to improve the cosmetic realism where I can, hence the mp40 mods. It turned out very well and much improved together with the Luger that I did
@@Waxmax You make very interesting videos👍. I like to tinker with airguns and paintball markers also. I had some problems with the cops here so I stopped using airguns, but paintball and softguns Im still useing. CO2 like larger calibers and big valves. Thats why we can get like 70+ joules from the cal 68 paintball markers. But you should take a look at the Umarex Glock 22 non blowback 6mm airsoft. No need to tune it. With heavy ammo like steel darts I get 6 joule or more (muzzle-loaded). Buy 6mm steel balls for rappid fire and ca 4 joule energy. Very fun indeed 😃👍. Keep up the good work my friend. Greetings from Norway👍
@@runerebel8441 thanks Rune, I recall watching one of your older videos where you said you had problems with the police. Did they end up confiscating your airguns? I do miss your airgun videos. I have a couple of airsoft guns. They are by a company called Northeast. The uzi and sten. both very heavy steel and amazing replicas. I will do videos on them at some point. Anyway, I appreciate your messages and look forward to future messaging and perhaps sharing ideas.
@@Waxmax They took all my firearms (11 shotguns and 5 antique reveolvers) and a 22 BSA Lightning. All legaly owned. I had a poorly deactivated AK47 and two old blackpowder revolvers, but not antique. That was enouth to send me in court and 10 months jail. They took all of them. The rest of the airguns I have sold since the cops sead they didnt like me having airguns. I asked if I could have paintball markers and softguns, and they sead yes. So thats what I use now... I have kept the MP40 BB and a Red Ryder BB. At some point I will start up again with airguns, but not yet....
@@runerebel8441 oh my!! I had no idea you went to jail. Wow!! That must have been awful. I’m m so sorry to hear that. But you were all legal so what the hell happened?? I do hope you do start again. I really enjoyed your airgun videos. I love the ww2 replicas and find I’m particularly attracted to the German ones as they have such style compared to the British or American ones. I really want a k98. I have the Lee Enfield one which is very good but a bit to clean cut compared to the original. I might try and fit the workings in to an original smle. I did improve the power on it by drilling the valve. Very accurate for a smooth bore but I fire lead pellets through it usually as no ricochet and more accurate. Just need to load individually but again, I have a plan to change that and put a rifled barrel in. I’m very handy and know how to do it but just need the correct parts. I’m desperate to find someone who will post to the uk a set of N frame square butt grips for the model 29. I’m finding it impossible!! If you can help please let me know. Ps; I offered it to you a while ago now but if you ever need a replacement heat core o ring let me know as I have spares for the Umarex markers!!
I wouldn't stress too much about the barrel being open for a length before being rifled. The KJW KC-02 proved that the open section can stabilise the projectile to tighten groupings. How it works is beyond me but there is some excellent analysis out there. The cracked frame, split nut etc though is wholly unacceptable. I wonder if you could get this exchanged as unfit for purpose.
Thanks for your message. It is strange re the barrel. Starts off as 4.5mm then widens to 6mm. I’m no expert either but I assume that a longer correct size barrel would be better and more accurate hence why rifles have long barrels. I intend to find and fit a rifled 4.5mm barrel as I want my new m29 to be as good as it can be. The frame on this older black model is a shame. Unfortunately it’s too late to return it to shop. I’m on the lookout for another secondhand one, hopefully the 8 inch version so I can have the option to swop between both barrel lengths. Thanks again for your input. Very much appreciated
Thank you for your constructive feedback. In answer to your question; this was a test comparing to other co2 airguns and not a serious shoot demonstration. In order to maintain a controlled environment such as no wind sheer which there is/was during filming I thought indoors was the best solution. I’m not sure which part of the world you are from but the weather in the UK is somewhat unpredictable and currently very unsettled. I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to offer any further feedback. Thanks again and stay happy 👍
Superb looking the Luger with the real grips. The Lugers that came to the aed forces of this country, had no stock assembling, and had grip safety. Of course modifying a P-08 replica to look like one of our contracts, had came across this mind... 😂... Tell me please what do you think... (Not to mention that I'd love to make a replica of the 1900 or 1906 models... OMG, I am so crazy...)
Hello, and thanks for your sharing (and patience with me). Here is another replica I'd love to own too. Specially the version with out the rail. Makes me remember older Pietro Berettas. This one on the video, looks great. It has a good finnishing. One of my worries with replicas. As they are made of non-ferrous sort of metals, they do not accept bluing like their real steel counter parts. And to remove the original finnish completely, is a pain in the ass. Please make a video some day teaching how to do it. You got know how, and good hands, my friend!!!
Hi, thanks again. I guess you watched my Luger videos of finishing the metal parts using the birchwood casey aluminium black. It turned out very well. Some aluminium parts will blue but depends on the base metals used. I have a video I need to film showing this on a different replica. The beretta had awful markings from factory across the slide so I stripped it back and resprayed.
@@Waxmax Hi again!! And it turned out beautifully!!! Did you used some sort of sand to prepare the metal before respraying it?? (The look from here is incredible!!) When you can, please show us how do you do tihs kind of job on your replicas. I know it is not easy, but maybe if you get some old replica,or one from a bone yard... If I was there, I'd lend a help if you wanted, that is for sure!!! Any way it is enough good to watch all you've posted so far!!
Hello again and thanks for the video. This replica looks fantastic,as did the Luger with wood grips. If I get this brand, I will end up doing the same. As I will do to my Lugers when I finally own them. It is also my wish to make myself grips for replica Lugers, 1911s, and M9s, as I already got 3. But it is so hard to do!!! Stupid things of an old man... I have some 1911-A1s, but I did never find this brand. Do they make this very model in 4,5mms only or do they make it in 6mms too? ( Or only in 6mms? Does its parts are compatible with any other brands? If possible, drop me a line, telling what you know. Thank you in advance.)❤
Hi, not sure if they make in airsoft version. My one is the 4.5mm bb one. I don’t look for specific brands. I just at the quality of what is on offer and make a decision based on that. There are loads of airsoft versions of the 1911 available in the UK. Not sure what is on offer in other countries though
Hi, one more time. I watched all the videos from you today😅. I think you changed or upgraded the furniture of this replica. But I will look again on a bigger screen. Thanks for shering!!
I really appreciate your comments and watching the videos. Please share and subscribe if you haven’t already done so. I need to get my numbers up as I really want to get better and do more videos. Yes I did sand down the furniture and refinish with various colour stains.
@@Waxmax Good work!! Of course I alreaddy subscribed!! I do not play airsoft, or paintball. Until 2006 all this was free, here! I am only a replica gun collector. ( Here they do not have legislation for that... ) About this particular work: you used various color stains, and it turned out very good!!
Loved the video, of course, but as an ignorant on shoot gun's looking replicas, I wonder if this gun exists on the real steel world. Does it?? Its outer look, is very good!! That matter of the "ammo" is weird. Could this be worked out in a garage shop? I did never see this model, and I am going to look for it as I am curious. (And I am curious as a cat, when it comes to replica guns, and similar subjects)... Again things of a lonely crazy old man...
@@Waxmax Yeah, I got it. I am not into paintball, and I am not into hunting or use some how shoot guns. And these are the kind of firearms more seen and findable here in Portugal, but my preferences are other kind of guns and their replica's counterparts. This one looks so damn good and beautifull. I got an airsoft cheap sort of shoot gun . The trigger is brocken. I will make a metal part someday. But I am not into running because this replica is not worse it... Maybe if I could upgrade it, but for now I do not have the means to do it with quality.
Hello, I am back, to bother you a little bit more. As I said on the other video about this gun, I could see one decades ago. As far as I can remember, yours looks very realistic. The brown "baquelite" of the one I saw, were brown like these. According to an article I read on a Spanish old guns magazine, these parts were made from "phenolic resisn and paper paste molded on high temperatures". Now: some words probably are not well written / translated from the Spanish text. Maybe I can make photos of the them, as I think I still have the magazine. Spanish is very alike Portuguese, so for us is easy normally to get what they write or say. Thanks for the video. It is very well up graded with your modifications. I will do the same, if I do not find a better accurate replica then the Umarex one... ( How I wish that Europe make air guns and replicas!!! I even pray for this!! Old crazy man things I know... )😢
There are airsoft versions which are allowed to be fully auto in the uk. Not sure on the quality and replica accuracy though. Unfortunately only allowed semi auto 4.5mm versions in the uk but you can certainly simulate full auto with fast trigger pulls. I’m more of a collector although I do enjoy some plinking too. I like to see how I can improve these things in the way I would expect them to be. Like I have said before, there are power limits in the uk although out the box these co2 guns don’t get close to what the limits are so I am keen to improve on that whilst keeping it all legal.
@@Waxmax Hello again!! I came ''back'' here to watch again this video. Like you I am more a collector, rther than anything else. I do not play airsoft, because I usually do not fit it groups, and because I do not want to paint my replicas in green or red as the Laws here demand. I got some 6mms replicas most of them sold before 2006, when this issue was ''regulated''. Now in this coutry it is almost impossible to buy 6mms replicas with out being legalized in an airoft club and also else where, and then I had to buy or immediately pain part of the frame and muzzle in red or bright yellow, for the short replicas, and part of the barrel and stock for the long ones. I would never do this. The Laws about these things were made by people that do not play, probably never saw a real gun, and did not went to obligatory military service like I had to. Like it happens on other subjects here, Laws are made by Incompetent people that know nothing about this and as so, did not for see the collectors on this kind of materials. Model guns are forbbiden, blank guns are very restricted, there they did the right thing for a change, as many people were stupidly modifying them to fire real ammo(!!!!). And so this is it...( Sorry for the long text, and poor english my new friend )
Hi again and another time 😅. Long long ago, I had the luck of seeing one of these in real steel. It was in a small Portuguese military museum, that I hope it stills there. In one of the most historical cities here. I am not surprised with the poor quality of this model, and again I suspect that the model gun version of the Japanese Marushin brand is much more accurate. I do not know if they have the airsoft version of it. I own their electric 6mms version of their Uzi replica. It is very accurate, and realistic, but unfortunately is electrical. And I prefer gas versions. I bought it in second hand as I knew the brand from American guns magazines, I happen to buy back in 1985 and so on... Now there is a company that makes the replica of the Dutch Uzi contract in metal and gas. Anyway back to this one, I will have to wait for a gas version but more real and maybe metallic... For the prices I see of this, I think it is to much, for to little. Drop me a line on this please if you can. As well as for other things and comments. Thank in advance.
Hi, I have to say that the Umarex mp40 is very very good. In fact, I may be forgiven to say it’s probably the best out of the box replica that I have from Umarex apart from the cocking lever recess that was not cutout. But I sorted that obviously hence the video. It’s a solid replica and extremely accurate for a BB gun. I would certainly recommend you get one. If I was buying one again I may be tempted to buy the non weathered version just so I could strip it down and refinish myself. Having said that they did a pretty good job on the weathered finish. I have added my own little tweaks here and there to overall appearance. I know the uzi you’re talking about. It’s the airsoft green gas version made by northeast. I have one! And I also bought the northeast sten too. Look amazing and very heavy. I use black gas in them and had no issues. Pricy for what they are but worth the money if you want an excellent working replica. The sten blowback and sound is probably the best out of any of the airguns I have. It’s intoxicating and loud! I have the Umarex beretta co2 blowback and that is good but nothing like the northeast. The beretta has no power. I think most the gas goes towards the blowback function. And it needs to as the recoil spring is very stiff. I have the gletcher 1911 and that is better as an all rounder for power and blowback. That will be coming up in future video as I fitted wood grips to that model too
@@Waxmax Hi!! I do not have any Gletcher so far. I'd love to own their 1911-A1 in black finnish ,and their P-08. It is so damn confusing this thing of the replica's brands. The way your M29 .44Mag replica is made, in silver is soooo equal to my ASG Dan Wesson, also in silver!!! Mine as I said, has the same kind of cylinder, not "flat'' on touch, but with those almost unperceptible little lines. Probably it has no rifled barrel. But there is another RU-vidr that disassembled his Dan Wesson, and discovered that the rifled barrel was only 2,5 inches!! I got sad and mad when I saw that! Tell me please more about your 1911 frm Gletcher and all the good replicas you have or you know well. If possible check the following brands: MARUZEN, MARUSHIN, and TANAKA. They are all japanese. You may find them in UK. Unfortunately UK is not in U.E. anymore!! To bad for me!!!
Hello once more. And once more, many thanks for this video. One never knows how to work with this replicas, as some exemplares come with problems of fragil parts, and poor working on moving parts too. Parts here are expensive, IF available. I have to make them, sometimes. I want to buy this model, in blue or black Finnish. I've watched lots of videos here. I went to 3 shops in this country, and they did not have a one to show me. Here to buy it legally, I only have permission for a. 177 cal. The 6mms is only for airsofter players and only painted on part of the barrel, and grip, I could bring it from the shop!!! Unbelievable? I can proof it. 😢😮I do not mind about having to buy the. 177cal. But that matter of the half barrel not rifled.. . I am also looking here on RU-vid for others like us who can build the parts... 😮...😂
Hello again, and even more than on other times, on thousand thanks for this video. Being a self taught man, a gun lover, a modeller builder, and a DIY guy, I could not be more happy to watch this. I will have to work on my replicas, either to upgrade, repair, and try to correct the lacks of realism. Not having much knowledge, means, as tools, it will be quite a task. Such would be impossible without your videos, as this, and others like this one. It deed not scared me the time of this video. If it was twice, I'd still watch it. For now, I only own 2 replica revolvers: the historical Webley in 6mms, black but with no markings and poor build, and the Dan Wesson 715, 6"inc in silver that I mentioned today on other comments of another video. This last one will have to be worked. I get scared, everytime I think about this! 😢 But so will be the "old" Webley... I do own some 1911s and I want to buy Lugers, Walther, Mauser, etc. Thank God this is my only vicious. Please stay there, as you are being quite a teacher. Anything you want to know from Portugal, ask me first. I will try to help.
Thank you for your message. My video is not very good and sound is awful. I have now fitted the modified valve and it makes a big difference. I will be doing a video on it soon to show the difference.
@@Waxmax I simply love the way this M29 is looking with the blued parts and the grips. The missing little parts on the end of the extractor rod is something quite wrong and of poor working. Here parts are expensive. I get parts from brocken lighters, pens, hard disk parts, house interruptors, and other electric home devices, like circuit brackers, and other similar things. Dust printers that get brocken have lots of interest to me too. This may sound crazy, but it is true...
Hello one more time! This PPK is probably very strong. Unfortunately it is not externaly look like the real steel one. You may find a much real look if you can find the MARUZEN Japanese PPK, as well as the P-38s models. Almost unfindables😢. There is another Japanese brand that makes these and other replicas both in model guns, and airsoft versions which are top in realism and goods on quality generally too: MARUSHIN. Please take a look when you can
I agree! This Umarex copy is not accurate enough for me either. I’m am waiting to get my hands in the new Umarex airsoft version when it is available in the uk
