   Homemade Paintball Rifle  :
The M14 airsoft model 

 M14 Ripped Apart

Pretty STO autococker
- Note look at all the detail and what the gun looks like

Poor baby gets cut down.  
- top rail and ball feed have been cut off.
-trigger system gone
-regulator temp. taken off

now took the plastic M14 and cut the back out so the autococker could fit in

 left the main parts of the trigger system on but just cut down as much as possible

 Ground down the back of the autococker Assembly so it fits the spacing of the M14 body

 Seen that the autococker expansion chamber would not fit the plastic m14 body, so i need to grind that down too.  

what it looked like not ground down

 and grounded

 Old trigger

 What it looks like after the trigger has been cut down, a made connector rode has been set, and the two triggers are connected

 the plastic mag being cleaned out and made ready

 this front piece was cut down and copper pipe replaced parts that would fit over the barrel

Then i added back on my regulator with macro line

put in more macro line at the expansion chamber connector. and ran that back to wards the butt stock of the rifle.  with some bondo around the mag to make it stronger

took a piece of bent sheet metal, cut it up and made a straight flat bar that ran back to wards the hammer Assembly on the auto cocker.
 -NOTE:   That each time the autococker fires the M14 cocking handle also comes back, thus the M14 looks like its actually chambering a round.

 Now in order to make the flexible plastic body stronger i decided to put bondo throughout the inside body of the M14 frame. and don't worry i didn't epoxy the autococker to the frame of the gun. so i and take it out and time or clean it anytime i want.

almost done

now when i made the flash suppressor i went into auto cad. i did this so i could print out a perfect measurement of the slots i needed  to cut. 

 And then cut out a PVC piece to make the flash guard stronger

Now spray painting the outside

Model paint

THE FINISHED PRODUCT

Note: i used different kinds of black.  Iron black, Flat black, Semi Flat black, Ultra Flat black, and Gun Metal Spray.  And some i waited an hour for the paint to dry and then took a rag to kinda buff it out alittle to give it that metal shine.   All to achieve that difference and realism in parts to the gun.

Remember, each time you fire the M14 cocking handle comes back along with the autococker back bolt. thus, it looks like it is chambering a round.

HOPE YOU ENJOYED

Gun is Fully operational with no errors, no rubbing parts, autococker shoots perfect with no problems, and i still can take it apart to adjust the velocity along with the timing as well.
