Is it possible to melt plastic and it to hold? I want to attach
an Airsoft Gun stock to my 98c but i can figure out how to get it to
stay there....Any help will be appreciated.

I wanted to try something like that. I bought a double trigger, and the
trigger gaurd was the style where you had to cut into the grips. I
didn't want to do that, so I took a heat gun to the trigger guard,
thinking I could get the plastic bendable enough to bend it into shape
to fit into the single trigger guard slot. This didn't work, as small
bubbles started appearing on the plastic. However, once you get plastic to melt, and then form it into the shape you want, it will hold. (take an old credit/debit card, and hover it over a barbecue lighter for a few moments, you'll see) |

yes but, remember. Direct flame contact will cause the plastic to break
down way too far, burning. Avoid burning by avoiding direct heat. When I made my trigger, I heated the pins rather than the trigger. ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site

I'm sure you could find a way to tape it on, be creative with it.
Maybe put a plate on the end of that, and bolt it to your end cap, just
a random idea though.

Buy an extra Tippmann end cap, dremel a few notches and such to both
pieces so they fit flush together, put some kind of hidden screw in,
and then Bondo the living snot out of it.

| You could try some gorilla glue then wrap it with electrical tape or cover the living ____ out of it with bondo and then paint it. |

This is what i did, Get an extra tippmann end cap and fill the little holes with jb weld or cold weld. Then sand the back so it will mate with the stock well, then pre-drill four holes through the stock flange and into the end cap jb weld or cold weld the stock on and then put four small wood screws through the holes you predrilled and let it dry. do what you have to to make the fit and finish look ok and your all set ------------- Dopa mi la tempesta (After me, The storm) |
