Okay, so I've been seeing a few MG's on the market for thousands of dollars, but you can easily make one for 150 dollars, that is if you already have the gearbox, motor and barrel of course. All of that can be inserted into this kit, home.comcast.net/~roja/280.html. It is plastic, but very realistic in looks, and on the same site you can get unbuilt replicas for $50. I just got on of their M3A1's and it turned out geat in my version 6 gearbox, (taken out of CYMA thompson.)

Sorry, It's CushmanCustomCreations.com. Ounce you get to the site go to 98 custom at the top of the page, then it will show a buttload of outer kits that fit outside paintball guns, and in our case airsoft.

The problem with Cushman's replicas is they are made of very thin plastic and often lack detail. They are also completely hollow inside so getting a gearbox to fit securely is a pain. Its possible to do though just a lot of work.

Ja, but worth it, $2000 (shoei or other), or a bit over $150.

Honestly I don't think the cushman one is worth the money... You're better off just building a custom from scratch.

Nope, I haven't had a camera since six years ago. Anyways they're better for 98's, but it's also fun to mess around with the stuff.

Right, see I had a Cushman 42 kit it just wasn't up to snuff as far as I was concerned but I am glad it worked out for you. I would never suggest someone waste time and money on that. Nothing personal I just don't want some unsuspecting new person to get disappointed.

It's actually the exact same as the kit picture for the 98. Obvoiusly internals will vary though. I just put my thompsons gearbox and extended barrel inside.
