I have an old 98 that was used as a rental gun and I decided to give the old girl a new lease of life.

The external paint was in a bad way and she had a lot of scratches and chips:

The internals just needed a good polish:

The external body was cleaned, primed and resprayed:

The internals were polished with steel wool and a liquid metal polish:

And this is the end result:

Meh, the magazine kills it. Everything else looks great including the restore job. But that mag is way too far forward, it's totally unrealistic. I hate when companies do that, make those mag kits that are way too forward. I also hate when scenario guns have double triggers but that's a different story. See if you could move the mag up against the trigger gaurd and I'll give it a 10/10.

Thanks for the appreciation.

Your right about the mag but it doesn't allow you to fix any other way, it uses the original hand grip postion - if you moved it to where it should be then the base of the hand grip would be exposed and it would probably need to be a gas through mag.

The best thing for me about this gun is the foregrip - it sits really well in my hand as I have large hands.

and Monkey Nuts - whose team you on at Flashpoint? (so I make sure you get extra special treatment!)
