Looking good, love the subtle-but-not Kriss Vector influence.

A few hours more work on it, it's slowly coming together
Still to do is smooth down chamber/stock and paint, fit the reload magazine and get it to work !, top rail to mount stuff like sight, sleeve over the barrel for silencer look, some plumbing.

I assume the pneumatic piston on the right side will cycle the bolt automatically?

Found a cover of an old CCTV camera, it's gonna make a sweet sight, going to have a lazer pointer as well.

And I have started on the next one
and parts for another
