As Borg (Danijel Jagodic) has recently passed, I have decided to dedicate my recent rifle build to honor the spirit of Borg.

Borg has provided many videos in paintball modding, and I have found them to be invaluable resources for many of my builds. I have used borgs stock video and shroud video for my painball bren build, and have used his ris mount and riser rail videos in my last two bolt action build (you can see the riser and rails on the top of the rifle: Bolt Action Rifle). He has inspired me to help others with their builds as he has done for me. I have made how to's, tech videos and respond to hundreds of pm's a year on modding and tech'ing. I have Danijel to thank for that.

I have started a build today that is dedicated to Borg. As a modding project this is the type of project Borg would undertake. He always has some unique markers and ideas, so its fitting this build should be dedicated to him.


This is a mech sp-1 in an SKS 45 stock. It will be semi auto 10 round feed with fs capability. On the bottom magazine cover I will be putting borgs symbol and name.

Here are some pics of what I got done today:









Sorry for the lack of pic quality. It was taken from my phone. Ill put some better ones up later as the build progresses. Ive got to slap in the reg, pneumatics and trigger. As well as put a barrel band in there. Then mount a rail on top for the feed before I can start refinishing it and putting the details on (borg name and quake symbol).

Im open to other suggestions so let me know.

Great ideas. Ill let you know if i think of something, but my head is still rattling from this whole situation.

[SlovPeter]

Amazing idea. Since it is FS compatible, you think you wanna sell one to me?

You can. They offer custom text and colors.

Thats an excellent idea! Thanks. I looked on their site. What are they made of? Aluminum? Or are they just a sticker?

[andrewthewookie]

They're a sort of hard plastic, and are about 1/16" thick. I haven't put mine through the ringer yet, but they've been holding up to normal playing wear and tear quite nicely.

[Danny D]

Perfect! How much did it cost for one?

SKS should have bayonets!!!

I'll have to help you make one. I wonder if i can find a russian Bayo and a wayto mod itput on it I'd give you Mine but Sasha wouldn't be the same with out her bambi sticker.

if you don'thave access to a working SKS i'll show you mine I have The stuff We'd need for the bayo

Also she needs a gas block

I can see about getting something made through machinist friends out of metal

IIRC, the stock ones are $8, and the custom ones are $10.

[Danny D]

Thanks wookie! Thats extremely reasonable. Ill try to get one sent here to Canadaland.

Druidic: Ive got the SKS bayonette. I just need some sort of front block as you mentioned. I was debating on whether to include the bayonette or not. Doesnt seem too safe for paintball use. Its super dull, but can still skewer a kid.

OOOH and your barrel is sitting REALLY high....

[tubberthump]

you should customize it with some of the things he showed in his videos like his custom shrouds

R.I.P

this is what it should look like

[Scoobydoo51]

Could you run it off of a 12 gram changer? If so then you could put it in the standard magazine.

Yeah, theres nothing I can do about that. The cross bolt in the stock prevents me from lowering it any more. I have already cut into the shroud/breech to lower it. The only way to do it more is to take out the cross bolt which i cant do. I already took off some wood on the inside. The cross bolt is needed to maintain stregnth.

Ive got a russian blade bayonet of course Russian stock, russian blade.

As for shooting one - thanks for the offer. I have already. My cousin owns 2 - a russian and a chinese one. I got the stock + blade from him since he wanted to put a tactical stock on his sks which waranted the removal of the blade too. Once my PAL gets processed im planning on getting one myself.

Once I reach the point where I'll need a front block + install the blade I'll give you a shout. I got to do the plumbing first and foremost but thats gotta wait: Camping tomorrow at Algonquin for my birthday. Missin out on wasaga
