No seriously, this time for real. I finally got tired of having cool
ideas for stuff and not having the ability to make them. So i sold a
ton of crap on ebay and to other people and bought myself a little 7x12
metal lathe. Excuse the completely newbed up pics. My dad is on vacation with the digicam, so i had to use my webcam.  Air-Tipps fans will recognize the idea. The stock carbine safety for some reason has a little narrow part that doesnt need to be there. Thickening it up also makes the safety work as a trigger stop, stops the trigger right after the sear releases. Its a neat little upgrade. That and it looks hot as hell   Yes, i plan on selling them. No, not on the forum. Ive got a whole ton of ideas for cool parts, mainly for the carbine. Ive got one in the works thats really going to change peoples mind about the carbine being "slow". I think i can top 10bps fairly easy, probably more. -------------

EDIT: Removed some really dumb misinformed stuff I posted.
To those wondering: Yes, I am in fact helping Enos on parts of one of these projects. Only fair, since he told us IRC folk about the company that makes the parts for these things, and so I got bored and started doodling. Expect an identical 98C pneumatic e-bolt thingy setup to come out from me, since I've got the majority of the work done on that anyway. Tantalizing little hints will follow as the project gets closer to being done. That is all. </soapbox>. ------------- Is God real? You'll find out when you die. 
Okay, I don't have a clever signature zinger. So sue me. |

Im lost as to how. Or why. Ive been planning on sticking a ram in the end of a carbine for quite some time. Besides, i asked your advice on the trigger, since when are you working on parts for a carbine... -------------

Bah. Misunderstanding on my part. Sorry.
I can help you set up the trigger stuff, since there may be a last-minute add-on to make it faster. *Feels stupid, walks away*. ------------- Is God real? You'll find out when you die.

Leave me alone. My daily routine now starts as alertness, and then I get more tired towards nightfall, like it's supposed to be. I'm not used to it yet, and so in my brain, I won't make the connection that 1) Enos was obviously planning SOMETHING since HE told US about the catalog, and 2) he wouldn't be so dumb as to claim he'd come up with something without giving credit. Again, it was my fault. But the remains of my post stand. ------------- Is God real? You'll find out when you die.

I just had never bothered to think up a trigger valve, or really plan
it out seriously since i didnt have the ability to make it. Now i do. I might just build a valve for it on the lathe eventually. -------------

Meh. You could.. although I don't know if you could make one with a pull of 1/4 of an ounce, with roughly .02 inches of pull, maybe less. And I may even be able to simplify this system further, to hit 20 bps or maybe more, it all depends.
Methinks the interest of some of the forumers is now piqued. ------------- Is God real? You'll find out when you die.

Enos, you have used lathes and stuff in the past right? You didn't just buy it and start making stuff did you? If you did, I would be very impressed. -------------

| try to make some cool things for the 98c. try to make a cheaper version of the E-bolt. that would be soo cool. many people would buy that i believe. you should SERIOUSLY consider going into some advanced shop classes and stuff and make your own paintball business. remember all of us when you're on top. you can make small things for the tippmann guns. that would be the coolest. remember to keep us posted on how it goes if you do try this. |

Classes? heh. Everything ive ever learned that was worth a crap, i learned on my own. Im making stuff for the carbine mainly. Im tired of people thinking it doesnt have any upgrades even though it damn well does. -------------
