Do you have any firepower upgrades like an rt or egrip? Are you using co2 or compressed air? Do you have an electric hopper?

Do some milling and then repaint. If you want a milsim look, pick up a Rocket Cock II o BT Sealed Bolt system. An RT and cyclone would look good on it as well. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

i run a 20 oz co2 and no r/t, i find those upgrades a waste or money, paint, and air
i was thinking of milling off the front hand grip to get rid of the bump on the back of the grip what you think? ------------- 98 Custom 12" Proto Barrel 98 custom tactical forend (modified) TAPCO folding Stock Custom trigger job "A closed mouth gathers no foot" |

That would work. I was referring to the lettering on the side.

I'd lose the front shroud and mill the letters on the side. You could get a Regulator and Vertical Adapter, but that might get spendy depending on what you want to do. You can find some used upgrades cheap on places like ebay at times. |

since your not interested in making it faster, what do you want todo to it, make it look similar to a real gun?
lots have done this, and it's really easy to do, if you dont like it and have no need for it, then go for it. -------------

Depending on how many I'm quoting I do one of two things. I quote it, then copy it and use the back button to avoid posting; after which I paste it into the next one I quote. Otherwise I just quote/copy into a word document then cut and paste it back when I'm done. -------------

that front grip/shroud thing is really killing the look IMO. didnt that come with a mag? if not that is what that marker is missing if you want it to feel more like a rifle ------------- transform into the ghost rider |

yes it did but its an ak-47 style mag and its like, i would say, 1 foot long. with a mag that long you can get very close to the ground when prone thats why i left it off. ------------- 98 Custom 12" Proto Barrel 98 custom tactical forend (modified) TAPCO folding Stock Custom trigger job "A closed mouth gathers no foot" |

Then that's all you need to do. A mag-kit (primarily an AK-47 mag kit) is really what that marker needs, and what the kit is supposed to have. It will not look right if you leave 1/3 of the kit off the marker, but if it is necessary to your style of play to not have a mag-kit so you may shoot from prone (usually a bad idea...being prone makes you an easy target because you cannot move to other cover quickly or turn around really) then leave it off. Some people are happy not having any accessories on their marker and prefer it like that, while others really desire a "milsim" look. Just make the decision as to whether or not you're willing to sacrifice comfort while prone for a cosmetic additin to your marker. If you find that the mag-kit gets in the way, then leave it off and sacrifice the loss of cosmetic appeal. If you find that while playing with the mag-kit on it doesn't get in the way then leave it on. It needs mag kit no doubt to look and feel like a real rifle, so just decide if that's what you really want. ------------- <Sig deleted due to language violation kthnx > |
