I have an old 98 that was used as a rental gun and I decided to give the old girl a new lease of life. The external paint was in a bad way and she had a lot of scratches and chips: http://opszone.invisionzone.com/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=2472 - http://opszone.invisionzone.com/index.php?act=Attach&typ e=post&id=2472 The internals just needed a good polish: http://opszone.invisionzone.com/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=2473 - http://opszone.invisionzone.com/index.php?act=Attach&typ e=post&id=2473 The external body was cleaned, primed and resprayed: http://opszone.invisionzone.com/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=2475 - http://opszone.invisionzone.com/index.php?act=Attach&typ e=post&id=2475 The internals were polished with steel wool and a liquid metal polish: http://opszone.invisionzone.com/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=2474 - http://opszone.invisionzone.com/index.php?act=Attach&typ e=post&id=2474 And this is the end result: http://opszone.invisionzone.com/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=2476 - http://opszone.invisionzone.com/index.php?act=Attach&typ e=post&id=2476 http://opszone.invisionzone.com/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=2477 - http://opszone.invisionzone.com/index.php?act=Attach&typ e=post&id=2477 ------------- Their home is their battlefield.

Meh, the magazine kills it. Everything else looks great including the restore job. But that mag is way too far forward, it's totally unrealistic. I hate when companies do that, make those mag kits that are way too forward. I also hate when scenario guns have double triggers but that's a different story. See if you could move the mag up against the trigger gaurd and I'll give it a 10/10. ------------- MIDN 2/C, US Navy LCE-SpyderMag | G-Force Pneumatic Mag | '99 RF Sniper II |

Thanks for the appreciation. Your right about the mag but it doesn't allow you to fix any other way, it uses the original hand grip postion - if you moved it to where it should be then the base of the hand grip would be exposed and it would probably need to be a gas through mag. The best thing for me about this gun is the foregrip - it sits really well in my hand as I have large hands. and Monkey Nuts - whose team you on at Flashpoint? (so I make sure you get extra special treatment!) ------------- Their home is their battlefield. Their calling is war. Their only loyalty is to each other. They are the Wild Geese.
