Hudson Garand model gun

Hi everybody!
kiwigunner made a nice review of his rare Hudson Garand CO2 shell-ejecting model.
I gonna try to do the same with my Hudson Garand model gun.
Let's go!
I bought it at the Kevin's former virtual shop http://www.modelguns-worldwide.com 2 years ago

I didn't kept the box.
Slightly sanded with a 1000 sandpaper.










With a bayonet (an indian reproduction)





Stripped





The gas cylinder stripped





The complete trigger housing






Some views of the breech









Feeding and chambering













After few time, the follower slide has broken, because the weakness of the metal, so il decided to
replace it with real Garand parts, i also replaced prevently other parts :


The Hudson follower slide before it breaks (not sure for the conjugation)






The replacement clip latch, and clip latch pin, because the metal of the latch was really too soft.





I also replaced the follower arm, and the operating rod catch/accelerator group









Very easy to do, no special knowledge needed, and the feeding and ejecting cycle are completly safe.


At last, a nature morte

I look forward to seeing them!

Hi Kiwigunner,
I had some problems with Imageshack, now it's fixed.

Excellent photos Dronne!

And I'm surprised how easy your improvements were to do!
Hopefully you will inspire other Forum members who encounter similar problems!
