im sorry, but if you dont know what this is about, just by looking at the title, then i pity you. after many long weeks of waiting and wondering, the Rainmaker finally showed! and i am NOT disappointed. specs: its an early 99 brass eagle rainmaker. i have to say early 99 because thats when they stopped equipping the RM with a select fire board. YAY! i have semi, 3 shot burst and full auto. it only cost me 88 bucks shipped, and other than the old pumps, its the only brass eagle i can say im proud to have! it came with ALL the paperwork, warranty, origin of purchase, brass eagle inspection certification, etc. plus tools and two barrels. it even has the original box! minor box damage is expected in 7 years... without the shroud i find this funny. the pneus are actually zip tied together! it came this way on all RM's any one remember the good ol' days? read the upper right corner of the box... and there ya go. i see great things for this in the future! ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

That's hot. Got anything in mind for it? Do you like the way the macro runs? I think it would look good if you ran it like most mags, curved towards the grip. Nice steal. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

first thing i'd do is get a new on/off. i hate duckbills... other than that, it's pretty kickass. nice find for $80, but my friend found one for $40... but it didn't work right... edit: oh, and keep it oldschoolish... don't go too fancy on the anno lol... ------------- X |

yeah styro, i like simple too. it may be a little costly, but i think it would look good nickel plated with red accessories. as for the feed neck, i was just messin around with it, and i find it has excessive wobble, so im probably gonna get a new one eventually. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

nickel would look really good... but would that add weight? i don't know much about nickel plating... ------------- X |

i tightened the bolt in the feedneck as tight as i could, and it held tight, but it put this nasty dent into the side of my hopper, and im not too crazy about that. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

so, how's the weight? if i remember correctly, they have a decent deal of heft to them... ------------- X |

about doubles the weight of my autococker... not really a problem though, its almost rifle-like. with the air tank on the back, the shroud as a grip and the fact that it has offset sight rails, it is indeed very comfy to hold. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"
