Got her back yesterday and just put her back together...

It is hard to see but the orange and clear splash are polished while the purple and black are matte. Can't figure out a way of photographing it to show it properly. The splash effects look almost electric on top of the matte background.
Bad part is the board is not working anymore:(
It looks amazing. Stephen does amazing work. Did you try scuffing up the fresh anno where the board ground screw goes? That's how the board completes the circuit by using the frame of the gun itself to carry the negative side.
I do agree he does amazing work. He and I talked for about a week or so, then I sent it in. He had it done in about 1.5 weeks from start to finish. I just wish I could show it the way I see it in the sun light... The splash really pops from the matte background.
I used some fine grit sandpaper on the post where it mounts, it worked initially. Odd thing was the shot counter was now showing 0. I know I had a whole lot more than that considering I had the gun for 10 years. Now it won't turn on. I am going to get back on it again tonight.
And I also tested out the battery it seems fine... Worked on my stock emag... I just need to get a tank with some air to do some final testing on the guns.
Did you adjust the HES or magnet in the reinstall?
make sure its grounded.Quote:

a swift hand with a pick will help expose metal.
ask more questions to get a precise answer.
oh and remember when emags get stripped and reannoed over and over you have to adjust stuff,
im kinda out of it to explain all that may be wrong.
is this your first reanno of a emag?
All good now... Didn't take enough material off the post on the first try.
Nice looking mag you have
Sexy.
I just got some lowers that I'm going to be looking to find a body for now. Not sure of a color scheme yet.
Some days when Im bored at work I just gawk at the Caustic Customs pics on facebook.. I was gawking at yours yesterday!
one of the more difficult decisions we have to make.Quote:

Not to horrid considering the art and skill that goes in it. I've got 100 in just the boot color on my skates. And that is no fancy skill involved. Just them gouging me for a special color.
I know :D ive had many a marker done by him, was just messing around.:bounce:Quote:

Awesome sauce!
This guy does some of the most incredible anno I believe I've ever seen.
From everything I've read, he's dependable, does incredible work, appears to have very good turn around times, everything considered I think the prices are well worth every penny.
:cool:
yeah its true.Quote:

its kinda funny to have a conversation with that person.
Boy is he going to be disappointed when I say I want a solid color. ;)
that's easy and he doesn't have to think. so it would be a quicker turnaround. basically, win/win.Quote:
