New Toy

[CoolHand]

Well, new to me anyway.

Thanks go out to Duzzy for parting with this beast for a damned good price.

I did the frame transplant, JMJ did the machine work once upon a time.

Now, on with the pictures.

Et Voila:

I gotta toss it on a scale now to check the weight, it feels so damned light.

[cdacda13]

[peewee]

Sweet !! How much??

[CoolHand]

Sweet !! How much??

Not telling. :ninja:

What if I have to sell it in the future? ;)

[behemoth]

No way, not touching it.

I love the Featherlight milling.

Been wanting one since they were brand new.

I've got an unmilled one setting here waiting to be gnawed on.

[magman007]

i think its time some one decided to UL frame a viking... coolhand i think you are the one to do it.

You've got taste. I love the milling and even moreso, the anno.

[Steelrat]

Sharp gun.

I can't get enough of AKA either.

Yes, I could do it, but I'm not sure that anyone can justify the $250 price tag of that UL frame.

Plus, no offense intended to any DM6 owners out there, but I don't really like the way the UL frame looks.

Now, if someone has a Viking they want me to mount one on (and they are paying ;) ), that's another story . . . . . . .

[master_alexander]

i hate you.

lol.

[BigEvil]

Awww man that is sooo sweet. My color too. Keep me in mind if you ever want to sell it :D

[Rudz]

both of the guns posted are beautiful...great pieces.. :hail: :hail: i like the anno on the second one..

Well for the record , I'm likely one of the few DM6'ers who don't really care for the UL frame. If I ever re-anno it , I'll probably sell the frame off it and put a 5 frame in place of it.

So...

Nice work. :)

[Duzzy]

Hmmm...

On second thought I want it back. Don't worry, I won't charge you for all the pain and headaches I will have to go through to get that awful frame anno'd. I won't even charge you for altering my baby in the first place. Just send her back "as is" and you can have a refund and we'll pretend it never happened.

Just kidding, glad you like it. Not a big fan of how the frame (Specifically the trigger.) looks, but if it feels good go for it.

[68magOwner]

ive always preferd the AKA frames over DYE ones, but, thats just a personal thing, sharp marker.

[Indignant]

now THAT is a sexy gun.

[electriceel125]

i love matt black.

[m-a-r-k-7]

Very cool.

[-Tab]

i love matt black.

Werd to yo motha.

What I really want to do is buy an older CJ-7. I'd put big wheels and tires, lift it a little bit, do all the little offroad accessories and then paint it ALL flat black.

[SniperSmurf]

i love matt black.
Good for you...

Who's Matt Black?

Whatever you're into, bro...



Wait, did you mean matte black?!?

Well, now I'm just plain embarrassed!

[KillingSpree]

how fast is one of those...n how much does one cost used like about?

Wish I could have sold you the one I had in Hawaii... Pretty much identical to what you said, but the whole body was Rhino Lined (inside and out) in flat black instead of painted.

[bentothejam1n]

Rhino Lined (inside and out)
how much was that lol

[CoolHand]

Faster than I, you, or anyone else can pull the trigger.

Price depends on the condition. This one was a little rough when I got it (not much though, and it is four years old, I'd say it's seen some use in its day.), so I got it cheaper than normal.

I'd say you should be able to pick up any '03 featherlight for ~$600-$700

[SniperSmurf]

how much was that lol
Heh, don't really know... I bought it that way. It was awesome though! Even the metal dash was covered in it. Looked like they took everything off and just dipped the sucker. :D

[camilion705]

:eek: CoolHand, you never cease to amaze.

That marker would be stunning if the colors matched and the trigger was changed to something thicker looking... :confused:

[Jerzee201]

The dm frame is perfect for the 03 or older Vikes since the snatch end of the frame is almost flush with the vike's back. On the 04 vikes, the snatch end would stick out since 04's are slightly shorter in length, this can be seen on cockerspaniel's similar dm frame mod on a 04 vike(found on the AKA sub forum on PBN). The trigger on that frame looks like a winner to boot.

Great idea... my stock 04 Excal is begging for a mod. :p

Steelrat, while that custom Vike is a great find... i still have fond memories of your white streamline Excal. :rolleyes:

cheers

Let me interupt here with a price check:

'04 Viking came with the bag, extra parts, extra Pandora board (has M-5 installed), PC cables. I already bought it just wanted to check what I paid in comparison.

[SpecialBlend2786]

That frame looks mighty slick on there. nice job!

I love it

Nice DC Viking. Solid $800. What you paid and the market value are probably a little different. And I am counting both boards.
I'm trying to remember if thats the one Shockergeek was selling. A guy that was almost local to me sold it to him.
Though some of the aftermarket Vikings have dipped down to the $700s for straight cash. Trade value would be better. There are still guys getting DM6 offers on Highlander milled Vikings.

But yeah, I actually like the stock AKA frames on my markers.

[etjoyride]

Nice, at the field this weekend a guy had a viking with a shocker TonTon frame attached. This is making me think about trying some frame transplants in the near future.

Also, how well did the AKA interenals fit in there? Was much milling necessary.

[WenULiVeUdiE]

Not much actually goes in the frame. Only the battery and the microswtich. The board is mounted in the tray above the frame.

If I scrounge up enough cash, I may just have to consider a frame transplant. ;)

[magman007]

plus, frames are redily available now from dm's, since everyone is going to the UL frame.

[CoolHand]

Yeah, a Vike is a real easy one to put a new frame on. I did have to cut out the board mount Et. Al. inside the frame for the battery and connector to fit.

All the machine work is very straightforward.

I know what you mean about the cheap frames, I have two more setting here waiting for the perfect project to come along. :ninja:

Yep, I bought it from Shockergeek and it was at the low end then :)

That was actually another choice - rhino lining ALL of it.

[rkjunior303]

It's all about FMV... I got $1000 for my 03 DC less than 3 months ago. I waited and didn't rush my sale.. Someone realized how nice it was and offered me what I would take to part with it. I feel lucky!

[Chronobreak]

ryan,

so if your interested check the ao meet up sec
