Picked up an SL68II a couple of months back and did some grinding on it:

Looks good, nice work! You should get your hands on a JJ Ceramic.

Very purty. It looks like you might have taken a bit off of that annoying lip at the rear that interferes with some tanks as well; did you?

Yes. I have two 9 oz tanks, one fit and one didn't. I wanted to be able to use both, so I ground it down enough for it to clear the burst disc on the newer tank. I also filled the slots in the grip and molded the finger impressions on the left side. Also filled the serial number hole, ground down the SL68II lettering and the front of the site riser to better fit with the rail that I drilled and mounted. This was my first time using Lab Metal, so it was kind of an experimentation of sorts. I was going to wait for the Tiberius First Strike rounds to set this up more as a "xxxxxx", but got bored and tired of waiting. I still need to get a new bolt for the hopper clamp as well as mounting rings for a sling.

I had thought about getting the J&J, but I like the brushed look of the stripped and polished stock barrel. Maybe after I actually get to shoot it a few times, I will opt for getting one. They'll probably be all gone by then. lol.

Thanks for the compliments.

The J&Js are nice. (I finally sprung for one even though I didn't really need it.)

The stock barrels are much more accurate than you would expect them to be judging on appearance.

Too bad they don't come in chrome Mang.

And my paintball fundage is a little tight right now.
