So here the finished slide, i think i go Name it "Spylide" ;)

May the last work i go engrave or paint:

SPYLIDE Cal.68    Handmade in Germany   SN:0001

;)

Yes the surface is ugly but you will have already a used look for less cash and also less unhealthy work with fiberglas too !!! :)











Iīm happy itīs done so i can go on with other stuff !!! ;)

So iīve finished the the Frame cover Basement !

Simple to install by a screw which you have to screw in the old front cap i got cause my TPX was without the adjustable one so i got two of them. :)

Will be fiberglased for max. strengh, stability and may to have a flat surface too !!! ;)












Final paint job will be all flat black !!!

Laws done by noobs !!!

Under Paintballers in Germany there are ways to Play like worldwide People would Play but itīs a Little bit against the law, we donīt hurt anybody cause we do Play international fps !!!

Yes youīre right but i get a bit eye cancer cause itīs lower than the fingerguard !!!

I go on think about the best solution but i have a Major Problem if i cut to much of the TPX i will get in Trouble cause markers has to look stock in Germany, if not youīre getting Close to Trouble if ...

Ohhh german laws made by ... thatīs why paintball markers are in the same law like air guns so there is a max. of 7.5J or ca. 214fps. Plus Dealers have to prepare markers so that they are not ajustable to not get over 214fps so they seal it much lower to donīt get in Trouble with law, but than you got markers which shot less than 200fps or lower it depends on the balls, the Barrel bore etc. So iīm not happy to be a german paintballer !!! Parts are legal but attach is crime !!!

Here i got two ideas of make the Frame longer to the end with the slide:

1st


Doesnīt look to big but you still see the ugly rail rest.


2nd


Donīt see the rail part but it Looks very massive i think !!!




Iīm still not shure which i go choose and may i will get a better idea if i go think about a Little bit more !?!?!?

Here i did some optical work i filed the grips of the slide.







I filed with a small file may 1mm deep now i go think about other Details and after i go spray it simple black or i try a green i got !?!?!?

We will see, get surprised !!! :)

I have fiberglased both slide Shells back together but you still can unscrew the Slide piece and the Catch mech. Tried my new paint green but itīs much to green !!!

So i finished the slide return spring System pretty quick and simple !
Formed and filed some sheetmetal and used an old RC-Carspring.
So now you could already use it as fake slide but the Goal is a different but with boltcatcher you still do a fake loading !!!




I like Tippmann !!!
