I'm going to try modifying SA80 rifles from The Assault Group to give a reasonable impression of the EM-2. Hopefully I shouldn't need to do much more than extend the length of the stock forward of the pistol grip and to remove/modify the sight to resemble that on the EM-2.

Guns are on order, so I should be able to try this out very soon.

Guys, I no longer own these miniatures and as far as I know they are not available yet. They have been moulded and cast I'm told which is at least a small step forward. Unfortunately I have been unable to contact the chaps who bought them from me.

If I hear more on the subject I will endeavour to let you all know or, if you see/hear anything on this subject please let me know.

All the best!
Mark

Update on the SA-80 to EM-2 conversion idea. I received my guns from THe Assault Group, but haven't had a chance to do anything with them yet. The conversion looks to be fairly simple. I need to reshape the SA-80 scope sight into the EM-2 carrying handle (should be able to just reshape with a file and just paint it black for the 'hole' in the handle). Other than that maybe a little bit of file work/greenstuff to reshape the front of the stock to look more linhe the EM-2. Simples!

I'm intending to pick up some Warlord plastic commandos to carry these guns, as I should be able to use the basic figures without much conversion (maybe some reworking of left arms). If this works I will make these into a commando force for SoTR, using the British paras force stats (since they almost all get the option to carry assault rifles).

That would be pretty cool, could use them for Korea, Dominican republic, cuba, central american wars, and early vietnam, not to forget, 50's Sci-fi, and 50s-60s style post apoc, or maybe shooting protesting students  lol

There's an idea for the Prof's range of figures. Kent State University cheerleaders.

I'd dearly love some US troops in flak jackets and M-14s, as would Monsieur 'Arlequin or so I'm lead to believe.

The Assault Group make US infantry with M-14s and also do a pack of separate M-14s in their Vietnam range.

The pack of M-14 infantry without packs would work well with WW2 infantry/marines in tropical uniforms - perfect for fighting WWW2 Japanese?

I would really like to see, some guys with WW1 kits, they were still issuing BARs, tompson's, grease guns,  M1 Garand and M1 carbine up into the 70s.

Maybe we need to ask Warlord Games nicely to produce some plastic US troops - these would be ideal for kitting out with M-14s fro WWW2.
