Well, I got bored yesterday so I made myself a ghost ring for my SL-68 II (thanks to pmicka's guide on PhOG). I figured I'd post the gun since I haven't done so in awhile. She is now my primary gun as the Sniper II is up for sale(no, not here). I'm planning on picking up as many spare parts as I can find so that in the rare case she borks, I'll be ready. I really want to find a CAR stock for it like EE(?) had...I just couldn't get to his in time.

SPECS:
14" JJ Ceramic
custom ghost ring
custom 10rd feed tube -OR- hopper adapter + 50rd hopper

I have a SL-68II, I never was able to find a hopper for it.

County carried adapters for awhile. I have a metal and plastic one.

I turned my own hopper adapter but I need to turn it again.

I kinda want to make a ghost ring now...

They're very easy to make. Took me less than 15 minutes to cut, sand, fit, and drill the pipe. 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of paint. About an hour total.

I just bought a Kapp Angel threaded high-rise and it fits perfectly as an adapter.

I now own the CAR-stocked SL-68II. I tossed on my ADCO sure shot, and have yet to get a 4oz tank. Last time I shot it it began slam-firing, and I wrecked my last o-ring so it'll be a while before I figure out what's going on. I like the 10-round tube. Is the post on the ghost-ring zeroed to the front sight? Did it take much adjustment?

The post is slightly off as I just eye-balled the alignment. It works great though.

EDIT: Should you ever decide to part with that SL, contact me.

rednekk that's the Picasso suicide trigger job. I told you it was wicked light. I used to slam fire it to gun my way out fights with that thing. It's a fun gun once you get used to how light the trigger is. But you can definitely trigger fire it.

looks good.  You know a T stock would run well on that if you run a remote.  It will bring the marker to the perfect height to sight it up.

You know, when shouldering my 9oz, I can use the sites perfectly. I have contemplated buying a T-stock, but I know I would never use it.

Yeah, I have one of those. What I was really looking for was one of those little 50rd jobs.

lol then I say stick with that.  I only suggested it since you were looking into a CAR stock.  It wont give you nearly the sight up that the 9oz being shouldered would though.
