Good Afternoon everyone,
I've been working on a small project, and I was wondering if anyone in the community would be interested in it. My personal goal was to make the ideal airsoft sidearm; said sidearm being quiet, gas efficient, high velocity and of course accurate. I chose the KJW MK1 as my base, as it already has an absurdly high velocity so it can be modified from stock form to meet the rest of my criteria. I have the frame and most of the upper body measured, modeled and ready for a 3D printed prototype to make sure all of the measurements are proper.
Once the prototype has been finalized, I plan on having the lower, upper and barrel assembly machined out of either aluminum or stainless steel - depending on the price. The barrel will be replaced with a stainless steel tight bore, internal parts properly seated and aligned on machined rather than cast surfaces, and cleaned up. I plan on looking at the heavy weight trigger pull on these as well to see if there is any significant room for improvement.
I'd just like some general thoughts / comments on the project. I have creative control on the design, so I can change virtually anything on the body to match it to the consumers requests. Trigger guard, draft angles, barrel and all of that stuff is easily changed.
Is this something anyone is interested in, or will I be completing this project to have something unique and special for myself.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
My current lower model, measured from the actual MK1
