Just got all the parts in the mail today. Got the dogleg, red dot, and remote. I love it so far, it feels so much more comfortable to hold. Cant wait to take it out for a game. Sorry for the crappy camera phone pictures. Will post better ones tomorrow. Couldn't find the cable for my camera and realized I loaned it to someone who I will get it from tomorrow. Here it is! Lemme know what you think.

here's a better picture as promised. Sorry it took so long. Also included my 98 in there cause I haven't posted it on here.




And first thing I'm going to do is wrap the ugly braided line with lectrical tape.

As an alternative to electrical tape consider automotive wire loom.

What would be the advantage of using the wire loom?

Easier to take off if you decide you don't like it on there.  If you're using CO2 it doesn't trap condensation right against the braided line*.  Doesn't loosen and slide around spreading icky sticky stuff everywhere in humid climates.

I think it breathes just fine through the split but I have a friend who used it and drilled a bunch of tiny holes in it for ventilation.

Decent looking gun. Do you have any more plans for it?

The only thing that I can think of doing to it would be to work on the cyclone. Metal ratchet and squishy paddles. Maybe the QEPH, but I don't really want/need a high rate of fire. I don't really use the response trigger.

Anything you would do to it sinister?

Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...

It's not another word for the loom, but it also looks better than electrical tape.  The one drawback to shrink tube is the breathability issue.

I had it there so that the co2 didn't interfere with the stock. Upon realizing how awkward the marker was to hold, I put a drop forward and put my expansion chamber back on.
