That is so cool! Teach'em young! That's what I did with my girl and she is now very disciplined on gun safety.
 
Is his first lesson going to be controlling sustained bursts or firing from the hip? ;)


As a side note.....I bet you could be the only person to ever show up to an Appleseed with one of those...
 
What is the point of doing this to a tube fed 22lr?

good question.

in california, we're limited to 10 round magazines.

with tube fed, i can shoot 15-18 rounds.

these used Marlin 60's are $60-$90 a piece instead of buying expensive $220 Ruger 10/22.s

the Marlin 60's and Marlin 795's have a 1 inch width receiver which makes them easier to fit in airsoft stocks as opposed to a wider 1.25 inch Ruger 10/22 which is limited on stock choices

i dont have to deal with cutting out a mag well or the lower receiver of the chassis. so this will retain some structural integrity of the kit. if i used a Marlin 795, then it would be harder to get my fingers up to the mag release and bolt release.

theres a couple of other minor points but i learned all these from past mistakes trying to fit a Ruger 10/22 and Marlin 795 in some of my stocks.

i plan to buy 7-10 more used Marlin 60's in the future and fill up each stock with its own .22 action/barrel so i dont have to keep interchanging them each month
 
That's hilarious! Good stuff!

only if its safe. i wish we can shoot in our backyards.

i was going to bring my Barrett M82 Ruger 10/22 and a HK SL8 10/22 conversions to Appleseed.
 
Ok, it's a legality thing, I was just looking at those pics going there really cool but why? Lol they do look cool

kinda. i just prefer to shoot 15-18 rounds more than just 10 rounds

also isnt the real M249 SAW NFA? and cost like over $30,000? im happy with my $220 replica that i can legally shoot

the M249 Para in that pic, there's a Ruger 10/22 inside. i couldve used the 10/22 in the M249 SAW but its just easier with a thinner Marlin 60. saved me a few hours of cutting

thanks. theyre definitely cool

ive had a couple of guys (active, reserves, and vets) at the range approach me asking if i can make them a .22 replica of the same gun they used/are using in service. some like the M249 SAW, M14 EBR, Barrett M82, M60 PIG, etc

just buy a M249 SAW airsoft preferrably broken internally or used. dont pay more than $200 for a used one. i get mine for like $100-$125.

i only used a dremel, angle grinder, drill press, table vice grip and extended screws

took me about 4 hours total. like 1 hour a day whenever im free to tinker in the garage.
