Wood stock, stainless 7.3 ID inner barrel and an original sling. X Force had already sorted the fps and chip on mine. Love it.

they go alright, hey…
Nice wood grain pattern, on yours…
If anything, they look a bit too clean…
It needs to look a bit more weathered, dropped and battered…
A bit ratty, and tattered, would look good…!

That’s exactly what I was imagining when seeing these full metal/wood blasters.
Having obviously handled many real guns over the years, I can almost feel the weight just looking at them!
Wouldn’t be quite as heavy as the real steel due to the barrels and internals, but still quite hefty for a blaster to lug around 
The full metal M4A1 I built was quite a brick to throw around, and that was tipping the scales at 7.2 kg with batteries/gels and accessories all in and ready to run.
Gave the PPSH, a quick touch up, with the silver ‘rub n buff’
pretty happy with the results…
The trick is, gloves on, a tiny dab onto the slot, and spread a tiny amount.
Then , use a second finger, to spread and smear…
A tiny dab goes a long way…
Problem is, now im looking at M16’s, M-60, PKM, Ak-47’s ,Sten etc etc…

It’s a rabbithole, BME 
PPSH looks good. 
a bit more weathering on the ppsh…it has lots of corners/holes to work into, and weathers well from there… i went a bit heavier and did the mag as well…
maybe a bit of overkill, but it looks legit worn now…
@docbobs dragged behind a tractor for a week, specs…
Just for comparison, here is @Davbot71 s photo of a brand newie…
I think the mp-40’s are next…
Then , M-16 and maybe M-60…

Like I said…
It’s a rabbithole 
Make sure it’s extremely historically accurate on the m60 or I might have to kill you. Your homework assignment is to analyse 5 or more pictures of well used m60’s in Vietnam
Impertinent gnat, you dare.!!??
You would threaten me…!!
As a bug, would threaten a giant…!!
Your punishment for such insolence, is to pick a fight, with the street gang, at your mall.
Lets see, if your inky blobs, are enough to dodge the blades of justice…!!
No panel beaten plates of armour.
If you are not rendered to sushi sized slices, you may grovel to behold the glory of the M-60, in its resplendant, weathered form.
Only then may you weep, with both joy and anguish, at the prize forbidden forever to the denizen citizens of that foul southern state…
And gaze longingly, at the soon to be released, MG-42…
