Well this time I took the fore grip off completely. Then put a
mp5 magazine with an expansion chamber in it on. Added the custom wood
grips and an Apex barrel. Lightened the hammer/bolt and a good friend
painted it with "Tiger Strips". Running out of things to mill on it so
it will stay this way for awhile. ------------- |

why the mag and not just a reg. or exc..... and use it as a grip... the mag, to me, kills the look. like the milling ------------- Xbl:PhantomReign97

Excellent job, I don't mind the mag since I can't see any other-gas-thru-mag looking that good on that gun...mp5 I assume.. yeah, if you stuck an Ak or M-4 Gas-Thru it would look horrible so keep the one ya got!. Great job man! One more thing.. if you got real wood grips it would look absolutely stunning! ------------- Tippmann A-5 - Shocktech Drop + On\Off - Super R\T - Q.E.V. - Red Hot Powertube - Stock - Flatline + Metadyne Shroud - R.I.S.

Those are real wood grips - don't know who made them tho. So far the Apex is great - good distance and I think quite good accuracy. Here's an overlay of my recievers compared to stock recievers The white line is where I milled off metal.  ------------- |

| Ball detent? |
Posted By: ekim98
Date Posted: 21 September 2006 at 4:17pm
Still use the stock ball detent, the metal under the ball detent is about .010" thick, if you push on it there the metal moves it so thin. ------------- |

That looks pretty cool. If you could put some kind of stock on it, it'd make a nice looking milsim.

Some specs? Looks nice. ------------- Thinking about it... |
Posted By: ekim98

Here's the specs; Super RT, polished internals, full boar rear cocking,
spyder clamping center feed neck, lightened bolt/hammer, shortened
cocking stroke, internal trigger stop, 8 stage expansion chamber, blade
trigger made from stock gta dbl. trigger, custom wood grips, apex
barrel, shocktech super fly bolt, and over 10 ozs of metal removed on the outside and internally. Without the hopper it weights just under 3 lbs. Apex barrel is a little heavier than my J&J was and the magazine is all metal so I didn't save that much weight this time. ------------- |

It was made by Chipley Machine = CCM. I don't know they web address but several different companies make similar feed necks. You want one for a spyder with the "tabs" that have the holes in them. ------------- |

For awhile there, I thought that marker looked jus like a Pro Carb without the Handgrip.
Its not bad really, kinda reminds me of a WWII Italian SMG. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

Do you have pics from when you filled in the old side feed hole? How did you do it? Sheet metal, or just metal filler? ------------- http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f208/pythonman56/lydiaandjoey017.jpg">

I filled in the slot on the sear so it doesn't slide bak and forth, then milled the end of the hammer and took out the buffer o-ring and then added 3 flat rubber waskers so when it recocks it only travels .020" past the end of the sear - just enough so the sear will catch. I measured the travel with a dial indicator to get the right amount of travel, so I could get the right thickness of washers. I only shortened it be approx .156" or 5/32". not that much but I figure every little bit helps. ------------- |

That gun is very nice. I love the milling job. It's got a nice stock class look to it. I'd get a t-stock, 15 degree asa with a Palmer and dye the hopper black. nice gun |

If you send me an email I will reply to it with a couple of pictures and a "quick" descripition of what I did. Up loading pictures and then linking them gets to be a pain. Plus it makes for a long post. Cybedeamon; I'm probably done making changes, I'm out of ideas and running out of metal to cut off. I don't care for stocks and they get in the way sometimes, plus I can't figure a good way to mount one on the 98 like I want. ------------- |

I don't have that picture anymore. I used an electrical box screw-in plug that I screwed in and then filled in with "Quick Steel". None of it was really hard just took time. If you try something like this just make sure of what you want to do, and how your going to do it first and check twice before you do anything. Mistakes can be hard to fix and expensive. And don't be afarid to ask for help if things aren't going good. ------------- |
