Very, very impressive, Rob!
Are you building this with a working drawing or design (missed it, if you said somewhere)?
Just wondering... I know some people that don't need one. Thanks... and that has a serious cool-factor to it

Thanks Wyo.appreciate it and hoping to start paint when the sun comes up.. No , I didn't really have a plan , I just knew I wanted to bullpup the cm1 pistol.. Then , I stared at pictures of the RTI priest a couple nights, and decided I really wanted to machine the " manifold " from one block of aluminum as opposed to using 2-3 separate pieces. So I actually started the project twice since initially , I was content with multiple pieces..

Amazing. I don't think I could drill a hole unless I drew a circle first

... nice going, keep it up but don't rush... especially near the end.

lol, my logic was " it has an M16 grip , it will be fine "

WyoMan · « **Reply #27 on:** December 26, 2017, 10:21:33 PM »

Well, that appears to be working, lol

Looks like the perfect candidate for a 13ci bottled setup.

Rob M · « **Reply #31 on:** December 26, 2017, 11:22:21 PM »

Rhett, that's a strong possibility and the picture in my head was based on a HPA tank conversion

It would look sweet! Very FX Impactish...

Rob M · « **Reply #34 on:** December 27, 2017, 12:43:43 AM »

VERY NICE cm1 !..looks 27 inches or so

Might do an lw barrel first, we shall see. painting and sanding and forming the kydex first .. now I also think I need a compact scope lol..But yes, an RTI priest was the inspiration ( ripoff of the FX design

RVaughn · « **Reply #35 on:** December 27, 2017, 01:16:16 PM »

Thanks Rob,
Can't recall the length of that setup. . But it was under 30".
I ended up changing it back over to CO2 & sold it.

Very cool Rhett , how hard was it shooting ?

minor update on the bullpup , I know less is more , but I didn't feel that way here

lol, exactly what the goal has been

I saw it early on but wanted to be sure before I labelled it.

I didn't even see that you already mentioned it above. Just saw this thread a bit ago and only glanced over the pics but it became evident to me early on what you were striving for. I think it's pretty cool.

Thank you to our advertisers!
