SEI M14SE "Crazy Horse" SASS - aka mk14 mod0 EBR
 

The Crazy Horse Semi-Automatic Sniper System is a project that I've been working towards since Tokyo Marui announced production of the M14 rifle. The amount of time its taken me to get this far has been limited to availability of parts, cost, as well as issues of getting the EBR (Enhanced Battle Rifle) kit in to the country.

Anyways, I'm not going to go on too much about the details on the real steel, the weapon was designed and created by Sage International, Ltd. in cooperation with Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, to fulfill a five-year Crane contract for a modernized, product improved M14 rifle system to be integrated as an SDM (Squad Designated Marksman) weapon. You can read all about it here:

Hey Illusion pics dont work...

Looks like you tried accessing it at the wrong time, pbase just so happens to be down right this moment. Check back in a bit

Darn it... thanks for the heads up...

On my pc, pictures work only with firefox and not with internet explorer

btw, very nice riffle ! :)

Holy crap, thats insane! I love it. Very massive, yet compact.

Now if only it was a full stroke gas blowback ;)

Care to share the cost?

That's the nicest EBR setup I've ever seen! Nice job man.

Wow...simply amazing setup there. How's the weight on it with all the extra parts?

Silencer looks funny. Can't close down the QD on your flashider?

Would that flash hider and silencer work on an armalite?

haha, his wallet took a nice straight hit, thats all hed say im sure :P and alot of fighting with customs lol. So worth it tho, what a gun!

Thanks for the compliments, guys.



Lots of tears.

And a bit of blood.

I'll see if I can get a cost up later, I just did one for my PTW and I wasn't happy. I don't feel like going double-sadness by looking at the EBR cost too...

5.5 kg, not including battery, ammo, bipod & suppressor.

Yeah, it's what I talked to you about on MSN last night.

It's a VFC DC suppressor, but the flash hider on there is the G&P one that came with the kit. G&P is stupid in that they love to use positive threading, whereas the rest of the industry uses negative threading... as a result, I can't attach my VFC flash hider on to the EBR kit (without an ugly adapter).

And the G&P flash hider's DC (direct-connect) channel is a bit too narrow to allow the arms of the suppressor to clamp down on it. I have to widen the channel and make it about 50 thou. deeper. So in a sense, the gun's not fully complete, yet. Have to refab the flash hider, paint it, and get a bipod mount... :(

Yes, it would, although it'd look a bit funny due to its length (it's made to clear an extended gas bolt on the M14 series.) There's M4-specific versions available. The suppressor is the same. Just look up "Vortex" Flash Hiders.

When you plan on selling let me know! Another beautiful gun man.

Thanks alot man! Been looking for a cool suppressor that would attach easily without the need to remove the flash hider. :D

funny thing with a toy version that shots plastic...

the real thing
is
much
cheaper
lol
1300$ for the real thing

NICE WORK!

Unfortunately, that pretty much goes for almost any custom airsoft gun... lol

That is truely awesome. At first I really didn't like the EBR too much, but this has definetly changed my opinion. Great work.

The real steel EBR's plastic handguard is not installed the same way ILlusion's is.

How is it attached?

On mine, it's attached by 3 bolts at the bottom, attaching to a rail that runs along the bottom of the handguard.

one the them is backwards.....

the first real steal is the wrong way

bri aka ILLusion has it the right way

Very nice Brian. My turn to say it...

DAMN YOU!!!!

Oh well, my ebr kit is on the way so I'm not too jealous :D

I believe the chassis shown in that image is of Sage's original EBR design that has been discontinued.

The G&P mk14 mod0 conversion kit which I used, is a replica of the current Sage rifle chassis design, which is shorter and easier handling than the original full sized Sage EBR.

The current SEI Crazy Horse design uses the shorter "ChopMod" style rifle chassis.

Here's some pictures of the real deal Smith Enterprise, Inc. M14SE "Crazy Horse" SDM, just so you have an idea of how close I got my replica (the first image is what I based the build off of):

Here's some trivia:

Above the rear pistol grip, behind the receiver, you'll notice a set of rails located there. Any idea what those rails are for or what could be mounted there? My only guess is to attach RIS-mounted sling mounts... agree? disagree?

man your front sight is ten times much better than the RS one.

Illusion, I was trying to calculate all those parts on that gun... but then my calculator screen cracked cause it can't believe how much that gun cost
...


nice job on the gun :D

Hot shitz! It's looking mighty good Brian. Might just have to get one for Christmas if I can wait that long.

I do believe that the rail on top of the sliding stock housing is used for NVs with a special high mount . I've seen a pic of this before but can't remember which forums I saw it in.

After doing some thinking about the timeline, I'm back to being uber-happy about this gun:

The first image that I originally showed of the real steel versions was the first image that SEI released of one of their projects. This used the old Sage EBR at that time, which was a larger EBR - it's the same one shown in Metro's image. It also incorporated that older style ring-type front sight at the time.

Sage, Inc. then released the "ChopMod" version of the rifle chassis and dropped the older, larger, heavier & bulkier design. The revised chassis was shorter and balanced out the gun much better. Smith Enterprises, in conjunction with Sage, integrated the new chassis in to the SEI product. The old SEI Crazy Horse image was removed from the site some time in 2006 or perhaps early 2007.

Smith Enterprise had also picked up tritium bar combat front sights, which they further began to integrate in to their flagship product.

http://www.smithenterprise.com/image...t_Sight.lg.jpg

Once integrated in to a product sample, a new photo was taken, which is the second photo I showed - I've since removed the original first photo and put the modern image as the first image. I noticed this image was posted on the SE site some time earlier this year.

On closer inspection of that tiny resolution image, you can see that the current Crazy Horse configuration uses the newer "ChopMod" length chassis, as well as the tritium glow sight... and so, my replica is being back to being a very close replica. :D

On that note... I think I may have to get me one of these tritium glow sights to put on my replica... pwuahahaha

GAWD DAMN it!!!! I want an EBR!!!!

That gun is simply awesome! Please post some pics of your load out holding this thing.

Unfortunately, my gear isn't as leet as the gun. :P

I was wondering whats that red switch for on your scope cover?

To pop open the cover.

Holy Crap ILLusion...I think I just creamed myself! LOL!!! That is a sweet piece of hardware! Great work, what's the fps?

Performance:
With hop-up adjusted to shoot KSC Perfect 0.25g BBs straight, a KSC Perfect 0.20g BB will chrony at around 387fps, +/-2fps

Yup, like Ronan said, a press of the button will release the scope cover. It makes things a bit easier by unifying the direction you press to open up the scope: Push the red button forward, and the rear scope cover pops backwards and up. Push the nub of the front scope cover forward as well, and it pops forwards and up.

With hop up off, it shoots about 400fps, +/-2fps

i.....hate......you....but......i......love......y our........gun

Goddammit ! Your EBR is... argh ! PTW !!! EBR !!! WOW !!! I want both !!!

Illusion, I must say, you have the nicest guns on this forum. Keep up the good work.

Nice Girl
must say what a beaut she is

I'd guess the small rail is to atach a backup sight, like a small Doctor red dot.
Or it could be there because otherwise, it would be lost space.

Not likely for a back-up sight as 1- Sight would be obstructed by the main rail/chassis and everything on it 2- The sight would be directly in line with your shoulder instead of your face. Most likely to be the second option, had space to put rails, so they did... hehe

oh man, where can i find a doctor's sight mount like that? i want to run almost the exact same dual-optics tier on my m4!
