Even though the rifle JV comes with is very accurate it is over half a century old. Even older in the "near future" joeverse. So I am working on finding a futuristic, yet similar design. Digging through my fodder boxes I found a TGC cast. And oddly enough it looks exactly like a hightech version of JV's gun, at least to me, just without the barrel. So a little cleaning and drilling and voila. What do you think? It is still quite large, and would still be an anti armor rifle. But I think it has a nice updated look to it.
I still think it needs some lengthening of the original barrel, but probably not as much as the full JV attachment. Maybe 1/2 to 2/3 of it. I dont want to cut up my only original though so I am still looking. But with a little modification, a second handle perhaps, some contouring, and I think I will have a win.

With the original barrel it looks even better. Turns out that is cast from a MSIA gundam.

yeah the one in the pic I got from Kronin, lots of pitting on it though. I think I may have an original lined up to cast. I am looking forward to giving my Jungle viper a new primary weapon.

I think that was a possitive response Zefram, but I am not exactly sure.
