I have decided to finally slow down on the upgrade parts list. Its got pretty much everything I need for as much as I play. Here goes.

Mods include:

RVA, marcoline, Dye 03 stickys, x chamber, ported vert-ad, 2x trig, trigger stop, 14" j&j, 14" whisper, ported elbow, Empire reloader, shaved sear bolt, polished, & painted.

Coming soon: milling off rear sight, and removing the stickers that i put on for some reason.

Looks pretty good. Dont really like hte chrome X-chamber though. It doesnt fit in very well. Good job!

It's got a good upgrade list, but I think the paint job is a little iffy.

the paintjob is about a year old if not older. as soon as i get the paint or as soon as i feel like finishing it, its going to be just a solid red to black fade with all the other parts normal.

Sentinelz- ive got a strong feeling yours will be better. i kinda dont like the way the red is turning out on it, but i guess its ok for me. its only a matter of time before i paint it again.

Shaving the sear equals less trigger pull distance. if it is shaved too much, the sear wont catch and then the gun becomes a blender. but mine is just perfect and i love the way it shoots. i used a dremel and it worked flawlessly.

Edit: I forgot to mention a few days ago all of a sudden my 90 degree macroline adapter junked on me. So it's back to the steel braided hose until i get a new fitting.

no, just red to black fade. its kindof a sloppy job but it will do.

^^^ well i am offended by your sig and would like very much if you changed it to something more appropriate

Your gun is pretty nice and if you don't play a whole lot i can understand how it would be perfect

The paint job could use touch ups but you seem to be off to a good start


Posted By: TippmannBallerX

sorry if i offended anybody else. my apologies to you. pics should be up as soon as i finish here. i smudged the paint infront of the tippmann so ill touch that up and put it all back together soon.

edit:heres the final pic of the finished paintjob.

Looks pretty awesome, I like it. Even though I'm more of a Scenario guy

 

9/10

 

I think bronze to black fade would be awsome.

You know I wish I hadn't said anything about my gun now but If you really wanna see it click my link in my sig above my bottle of Hatorade

9/10 on tha fade 9.9 on the gun put gloss clearcoat on it from wal-mart its like three dollars for a small can of it buy the spry paint one and it'll make it almost look anodized in the sun or nice lighting
