My MOCK silencer

[Jestar]

Okay, here's the skinny.

I had an old 2 cell "C" Maglite in my closet.

I took out the switch assembly and used P80 sanding pads for the outside.


Once the original finish was pretty much FUBAR I took a red scotch bright pad to it and evened out the havoc on the scratches in the paint.

Next I centered X on the battery cap and used a 3/8 drill bit to put the hole there. Again I used sandpaper to take care of the finish and burs then red scotch bright.

After a nice wholesome bath I used ACE brand 'flat satin black' (the same I used on the CA metal body I redid) for two coats.


Then I cut to size some landing gear door seal we have here at work (it was scrap from a c-check) and fit that over the barel of my M4S after detaching the flash hider.




The seal makes the 'silencer' a pretty tight fit around the barel and it's even so I won't be blowing apart any BBs on the breach.


My next step is to find an exhaust hole pattern I like and take the drill out again. Quick, easy and cosmetically not that bad IMO.

if you could cut out/fill in that button hole somehow, it would be even better. very clever btw.

Thats sick.

Wow, that's awesome. I might have to give that a try. I have some old flashlights laying around that aren't being used.

Sounds good to me - you know what pilots say, flashlights are metal cylinders that hold dead batteries I have nothing else to say

Nice piece
