Just got all the parts in the mail today. Got the dogleg, red dot, and remote. I love it so far, it feels so much more comfortable to hold. Cant wait to take it out for a game. Sorry for the crappy camera phone pictures. Will post better ones tomorrow. Couldn't find the cable for my camera and realized I loaned it to someone who I will get it from tomorrow. Here it is! Lemme know what you think. here's a better picture as promised. Sorry it took so long. Also included my 98 in there cause I haven't posted it on here.   And first thing I'm going to do is wrap the ugly braided line with lectrical tape. |

As an alternative to electrical tape consider automotive wire loom.

| What would be the advantage of using the wire loom? |

Easier to take off if you decide you don't like it on there. If you're using CO2 it doesn't trap condensation right against the braided line*. Doesn't loosen and slide around spreading icky sticky stuff everywhere in humid climates. I think it breathes just fine through the split but I have a friend who used it and drilled a bunch of tiny holes in it for ventilation. -------------

Decent looking gun. Do you have any more plans for it? ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

The only thing that I can think of doing to it would be to work on the cyclone. Metal ratchet and squishy paddles. Maybe the QEPH, but I don't really want/need a high rate of fire. I don't really use the response trigger. Anything you would do to it sinister? |

another option is shrink tube. I dont know f thats another word for the loom but i use it on all of my steel braid hoses. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

It's not another word for the loom, but it also looks better than electrical tape. The one drawback to shrink tube is the breathability issue. -------------

| I had it there so that the co2 didn't interfere with the stock. Upon realizing how awkward the marker was to hold, I put a drop forward and put my expansion chamber back on. |
