Since I never intended to use airsoft but wanted recoil I never bothered to even try to figure out a way to move them forward on the airsoft unit.

Nope, won't hinder movement of the gun. I'm interested in relocating the gun trunnions but that would mean completion would be set back by more weeks hahahahaha! I'll have to be content already hihihi!

Looks good atc.
Are you going to do the 4 bolt heads on each side of the turret top where you left room for them when you did the nonslip?

No Alpha, atc is still in the " damn, there is just one more thing I should add before painting stage". Been there myself a few times.

BWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still arguing with myself whether or not to push through with the painting before I modify the internal structure (plug holes, etc) or after. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I PROMISE painting process will begin sometime in September. PROMISE! HAHAHAHAHAHA! I want this running by October this year. Next year, hopefully it'll have new electronics as well.

With the progress you've made so quickly over the weekend and if you don't decide to take a break I'd bet that by mid September you will done.
