Looks like it got set on fire, but looks like you cleaned it up pretty well. Wheres the trigger guard?

Nice work fixing it up. What in the world did that kid do to it?

I got it with a mask, 16oz co2 tank, and 500 balls for 150 dollars. I took the triger gard off for more triger room. the kid tryed to paint it but has no paint skills.

Looks like the kid tryed to paint over the orginal paint job with a brush and totally screwed it all up. Very nice job on fixing that train wreck, it looks great. Hopefully you can take care of it better than the previous owner.
