are you going to add some filler to the upper shroud?

 

[SGT Razor]

Probably. Cardboard looks too tacky... What kind of filler do you recommend? Don't have bondo and I don't know where to find it in a third-world country.

 

[link4044]

dont say that too loud the cardboard people will hunt you down....you work with you have

 

[SGT Razor]

I am a cardboard people. Haha, it just looks tacky in the middle of all that metal... I'm sure all the cardboard people will agree with me on this one...

I liked making my AR from cardboard because it was lightweight, but metal would be magnetic. And Wal Mart is great for supplies, especially for cardboard. They sell HUGE shipping boxes that can put out both arm and forearm armor pieces with one box.

 

[SPARTAN430]

Wow, an actual metal AR, thats a first! (I think)

 

[silvercookie]

no links ar had some metal in it. i think the magazine wa aluminum not sure.

 

[link4044]

i have aluminum on mine...the panels, barrel and part of the hand grip......soon when i get time most of the hand grip will be mostly aluminum

 

[SGT Razor]

Thats awesome your making your AR from Sheet metal. Aluminum?

Yep, plus some other crap I found in the garage. 'Cause that's how I roll. :Steve:

:shock: Good work so far!

P.S. How did you fasten the sheet metal to the metal rectangle?

I haven't yet, but I'm thinking about soldering it.

::EDIT:: Alrighty then. I'm ready to assemble it. It's been painted and I'm just waiting for my friend to come back from the States so I can borrow his soldering iron. Project should be finished in a couple of weeks.
