M1 carbine alternative??

[KRaddatz]

i was looking around and the Marushin Super Enforcer Maxi 8mm
its pretty much a carbine at heart. find a stock and see how it fits is my guess, may need mild customizing for a good fit. its just that its gas bolt action the same as the other Marushin carbines. So i was wondering, is there anyway for convert it so its semi auto??
thanks,
Kyle

well since your doing airborne, making a wire stock wouldnt be too hard, just extend the barrel and it would look pretty close.

yeah my main problem is getting it semi auto

That is a single shot gun that you have to cock manually every time after shooting it. There is no way to make it semi. Furthermore, it has been shortened so much that there is no point doing any reverse work. If you want a carbine, get the long one version. If you want an automatic (semi or full), get the M2 version (and don't expect too good gaming gun). If you want a para version, do a custom stock on the long versions.

[KRaddatz]

oh well, there goes that plan.

Not to mention mags for that are almost impossible to find. more so than the carbine ones if you can belive that...

If you really want a carbine and need semi auto get an M2 carbine and perhaps alter it to a para version. (Expensive proposition to do right) Incidently this is not neccessary even with your airborne impression because many Airborne troops had carbines with the conventional stocks) This rifle is 8mm, shoots hard and is fairly reliable for a gas gun. (Kinda like saying for a fat girl she doesn't sweat much) Gas guns are not consistently effective skirmish guns. The non blow back carbine from Marushin is actually a pretty consistent and good gun but as you noted it is not semi automatic.

Hmm would the M1 Garand Internals placed into a Carbine stock...give you an AEG M1 Carbine?...Just putting this Idea out there.

hmm i guess ill just save up for a M1, just thinking it would be really cool seeing a para carbine out there, i wish i had the money because then i would try it but oh well.

gearboxes are too big.

[valtteri]

M1 carbine is really small and slim. Don't let the length fool you. Only thing even remotely possible would be some AEP box.

[theriseandfall]

i heard schmitty attempted just that with an AEP gearbox and it still didnt work

[spitfire740]

put a wire stock on it, cover the barrel with a wood handguard and you got yourself a decent Reising.

[theriseandfall]

and probably the only airsoft Marine paratrooper impression in existence ;D

[KRaddatz]

yeah i know i could easily put in in a paratrooper stock, but $$ and its not semi auto, theres the M2 but there alot too and clips are almost non existant

[2ndranger]

There was one on ebay but I believe its over now.

What about buying the carbine wood furniture and putting those internals into the Carbine stock, intead of trying to convert the one that comes with the gun.

TommyGunner

[KRaddatz]

Thats what i ment to do, but its not semi auto

[TommyGunner]

Well I have had the oportunity to use the reall Carbine by Marushin in battle and the fact that its not semi maks no difference, trust me its nothin to fret about. Infact I have an M1928 with a drum mag, but in all the games I have been able to play at this summer I have yet to use my Thompson, instead I use my Springfield against super AEGs and have yet to be caught in a situation where my rate of fire compromised my survivability. Bolt action guns are fully capable to hold there own against AEG.

I say get the gun and stock and dont event worry about it not being semi, becuase ya know what, you will have a Carbine and others wont.

Well kinda, but not really, there are quite a few differences between this gun and the M50/55 Reising. Infact I dont think you could convert it at all.

Heres the Maxi enforcer


Heres an M55






and heres and M50

[KRaddatz]

umm that M55 looks like a completely different gun everything is pretty much different on it than the Maxi enforcer
