Some might remember this from a previous post about 2 months ago. I'm just now getting better pics from what I had. Feel free to comment on it.

Not bad..Looks a little choppy where you milled the letters, but all in all, great job. Did you make the trigger from a double trigger? It came out good. -------------  irc.esper.net #paintball |

Thanks guys. As for the hopper, that will be coming within the next few months (dont have any money for one). Once I do have the money, I want to get an eggy and r/t. A5 MASTA: Its actually not that bad for woods as long as you dont get where there is some sun and have the paint reflect. Benjichang: It was pretty hard trying to get it nice and rounded. My dremel wasn't being nice that week. As for the trigger. Its a GTA double trig. Just took a dremel and about 20min of time to get it right. -------------

It would be nice if you were a little more specific, but I'm gonna assume you're talking about the paint job. I was, at first, very happy with the way it turned out. But, I am now finding out that Testors is not a verry durable paint and I'm getting chips in the paint already. Luckly, my dad is sending a chasis to be sandblasted and powdercoated so I may also send in my gun for the same. -------------

I did pretty much the same thing. My dad sandblasted my gun then I did 2 coats of primer, 2 coats of paint per color, then 4 or 5 clear coats. ------------- irc.esper.net #paintball |

| I actually like that trigger a lot, even if it's not as clean as you think it should be. Is the pull really as short as that ghetto trigger stop makes it look? |

Commander Cool: The paint is Testors brand paint available at any hobby store. Hairball: YES! it's very short for a 98. And sorry for the ghetto look, I aciedently shaved to much of it first so I added a little bit of electrical tape to get it where it needed to be. -------------
