This is a Tippmann SL-68II. I got the idea from Doc Nickel's website, http://www.docsmachine.com/index.html - DocsMachine.com . It has been stripped of powder coat with a wire-wheel to the raw aluminum. I then removed the ASA from the grip, and sealed the original air passage. The valve area is tapped 1/8npt with nickel plated 90* elbows. The steel hard line is from PPS, running into a modified Automag verticle adapter. It is fully functional ,but here's the thing: it's not done yet. After I'm through, it will wow you all!

Very nice. You truly are "King of the Classics" Do you happen have an AGD Sydarm? Those are so cool. -------------

Nope, I haven't owned a Sydarm. They look like they would be really fun to play with. All that I own is on that link near the bottom of the original post. Thanks for the compliment by the way  ------------- Name your poison... |

The SL series is a cast aluminum, and has a texture similar to styrofoam. It isn't feasible to smooth it out, plus having it polished would make it look really dirty or tarnished very quickly. ------------- Name your poison... |
