    Posted: 22 July 2006 at 7:22pm
so im finnaly getting a custom gun made... those of you who know me ive been talking about it for about 6 years now...

i got a new job getting paid well and working 50+ hours a week so i talked to my boss today about seeing if i could have it made at the shop. he said bring in a print and he will help me:)!!!

im thinking electro with ripper style milling, red, black, silver splash, AC threads with a 14"AA black back matching front, no rise center feed with a 90* frame HPA or CO2.

jack hammer LPR, bottom line reg and a gas through grip...

if it costs to much il just have (fat) flat sides done untill i can afford the cosmetic milling.

A custom gun would be the greatest thing ever. The only problems would be if something breaks.........

Sounds awesome. I would love to be able to make a custom gun.

i have thought of a custom pump as well but im thinking im gunna wait until i get my own machines seeing as it will be a fun place to start. the semi i want to make will have alot of CNC work.

i have finals next week so i will probly start prints in 2 weeks. then 1 more week fine tuning having the cosmetics printed then an unknown lead time on machining and anno but i should have the funds.

probly 3-8 weeks.

(parts i can forsee breaking or wearing out i will have spares made but if i do something stupid like cut the body in half il still have the prints to have it remade.)

maybe use parts from other guns like timmy rams and ego bolts or something to make it easier to make and get parts.

what type of board is going in it? maybe the predator micro will be out by then.

km2 mini morlock board. (i think the predator is a mini morlock with different programing.)

using parts from other guns could be helpful but it would limit my design. plus all i would need to do to get a part is call the shop and say i need part xxx-xxx from order xxxxx and they will make it and mail it to me...

il try and get Screen shots of the 3d model
