Hi guys,

 

 

Yesterday (28-11-2011) I have been busy making myself a Fam36 (famas with a G36 toprail)

This is a tutorial on how I have Mounted the G36 toprail to my famas upper.

Note this is a guide on how I have done it! There are other and maybe better ways to do it!

Any advice/tips are welcome to improve the build.

 

Whenever I change something, I will post it in this topic!

 

-- Ok, lets get started --

 

 

Things I used:

Parts for the gun:

  • Famas Upper
  • G36 top rail
  • Aluminium plates (2)
  • Wooden block
  • Screws, bolt screws

Tools for the job:

  • Screwdrivers (Cross and flat)
  • Figure saw
  • File

I think It could be a bit better looking with the default G36 iron sights on the rail as well.

 

My BUIS are still being shipped to me, whenever I recieved them, I will upload a new picture ;)

 

Edit: Which FAMAS threaded muzzle is that and where is good to source it?

 

Its a silencer adaptor. I bought it on EhobbyAsia

You have CCW en CW:

sorry to hijack this thread, but can someone point me in the direction of a 9.6volt battery that will fit the TM famas?

 

thanks

 

It depends on what type you will use.

 

The TM famas comes with large tamiya connectors.

Normally a 8.4v large type is already a tight fit in that handguard! (no space left)

So a 9.6v large type will NOT fit!

 

I just ordered XT60 connectors to replace the large tamiya's..

I'm planning to run a 9.6v mini type or a 7.4v lipo 15c (after I changed the connectors to xt60 offcourse ^^).
