    Posted: 25 February 2010 at 12:16am

so i haven't shot anyone with it yet, i purchased the marker in November and have been slapping parts on it since. i pretty much trolled this forum and others deciding witch marker to get and what parts to buy. i went for reliability and bang for your buck while getting ideas for my rig. so thank you all for your input on all these threads Ive been reading

my first and best mod was the tooth pick shoved up into the clip, thats to turn the e trigger on and off...
 then came the
j&j ceramic 14" barrel
j&j ceramic apex adapter
apex tip
rufas dawg wicked bolt
drop forward
cyclone feed
weaver rails
grip with pop out bipod
holographic reflex site
remote line
x7 low profile hopper
& thats some camo form wrap on it
oh & i polished the internals. first with dremmel & wire wheel then fine steel wool
its gunna be a fun summer

You've got a nice looking gun, but the tape really does kill it.

QFT.  Basic, clean, I like it.

Edit: If you really want to camo it up, consider a camo wrap which will add a three dimensional element to the camouflage.

Do you have your sites zeroed for it?

the site is  dead nutz 20 yards with the apex off, i was at about 30-40 yards apex on 4 and the ball was about an inch low in my field of view, when the weather breaks i plan to set up sheets of cardboard every 10 yards and figure out the site vs apex. i was using the cross hair holograph + and you could use the bottom of the cross, or you can tip the marker and move the butt of the marker higher or lower on your shoulder, this moves the cross hair higher or lower in the glass of the reflex site thus adjusting yardage.

so, ill see how it works out this spring, if it ends up being too weird ill pull it off and put it on my xbow

And merely an opinion.  Some people can do without all the the rails and the annoyingly unattractive stock on the Salvo.

One teammate of mine has the Alpha Black. Another, the Project Salvo.
i shot them both. They are pretty much the same. In my opinion, the Alpha Black is nicer. But your is just sick!!! Nice job man!!! Tactical!!!

There are some good camo tapes out there.  Instead of actual camo tape, which has a gloss sheen to it, check out a basic camo pattern hockey tape.  It is ridiculous but also ridiculously effective.  Unitl you're ready to do the complete job the hockey tape works awesome.
