Okay /k/, here's my idea.
Remember Boris and his fucktastic airsoft Glock with the Marigold 3 frame? If not, look here:
http://www.northeastshooters.com/vbulletin/threads/214022-Iron-Glock?highlight=Marigold+glockThat's the Marigold 1 frame, but the Marigold 3 frame is a smaller, more airsoft friendly frame.
Alright, now hear me out.
KWA makes the FPG9, a complete exact to size and detail copy of Magpul's FMG-9. It uses the internals and slide of a KWA Glock 17, which is dimensionally the same as a real Glock 17.
Also, it's made of a strong fiberglass reinforced nylon: same things as Glock's.
...you see what I'm suggesting?
With the airsoft guts taken out, a Marigold-3 kit dropped in the plastic frame, and a real slide and barrel added: this thing could be our one shot at getting an FMG-9 for real.
You could take the stock off/ use a 16" shroud attached to the barrel too while you wait for your tax stamp from uncle sam, or you could just paint it/sticker it up to look like something else, so nobody notices it and doesn't give a shit....
I don't know about you guys, but I'm doing this when I get my hands on one.
>will be dumping pics of the airsoft version nowI've been thinking this through a LOT in the last few months, ask any questions you want, I'd love to share.
