:D a gun after my own heat, same design as my old reaper rifle
looks good chap. tapes a bit dodge but i think it will be fine

i think it looks like it was designed after this rifle more than the m1 carbine

i like your sniper rifle alot especialy the stock but it could be better if it was a smooth finish ohter than that its an awesome gun.

and btw i agree with Shud_b_Right if it looks like a sniper you can call it a sniper... aslong as it has a range of more than 800m :lol:

thanks for the tip, i used sand paper and a new cover of paper mache and the stock looks better, new pics soon

experament-u2:

that is a nice rifle. you say that you have a reapeter? i would like to see your craftman ship, yeah, my rifle looks more similar to that rifle than the carbine, thanks for the reply

p.s. no tape on gun, its cheap paint that i'll replace soon

cool, i was wondering what you used.

i might utilize this construction method (being with bondo, not Paper mache') for my sniper rifle. when done right it looks hella sweet. i cant wait for your results.

Nice design.........Except the tape....Otherwise nice...I know you could make it look even more profesional...Maybe just keep it bare,....skeletonized...and give it a kick ass paint job...I would use truck bed liner spray paint, it textured and that stuff is strong!!!!!

Hmmm if you listen to what he said, he said that he has only just stuck the scope on, and hasnt calibrated it or sighted it in or anything, and i'm not too sure if i like the paper mashey :? But other then that, nice cannon.

no tape on gun, i thought of a skeleton look, but i prefer the paper mache

Thrusto
The 25mm sniper rifle is a really nice gun, i do not mean to disrespect the creator, but i was giving my opinion
