how does this custom idea sound?

[don miguel]

****SS25 PUMP****

I want to make my SS25 custom in a cool way. so I thought of some ideas...

half block milling/ upgrade
dust purple anodizing
slash style milling (similar to PTP micromag)


heres is a rough sketch of what my plans are (i drew it in study hall ;) )
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n260/joshbrede/FINAL.jpg
as you can see all the parts are stock exept for the halfblock parts.
(everything colored black just isn't going to be milled. the white is just to show the milling, the whole gun is going to be one color.)

I wan't the milling to be similar to this:
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n260/joshbrede/RTvalve008.jpg
but with more of a straight scratch look. and all across the body (similar to my drawing).

and i want the anno to be this color:
http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i83/mannsports/IMG_1378.jpg
(thanks mann for the pic, i would have bought this from you if it were for less $$$ :( )


(btw i want the whole thing annoed, all parts, exept for the ones that can't be annoed)
so i need YOUR help!

i need to know:

is this a good idea?
is halfblock a good upgrade?
is this going to be very costly? (can you give me an estimate?)
where is a good place to get this done? (milling, anno, etc...)
will it look cool?


thanks in advance. REMEMBER this is just a CONCEPT so i am open to ideas, and suggestions. i really want to overhaul my SS25, so if you want HELP ME OUT! :cheers:

Sounds a lot like a ptp micro cocker. Try a search in the bst's or on pbr. They look pretty shwank

but this is an ss25 pump!

[buzzboy]

I'm just saying that it would kinda look like a micro. The 86* frame sounds cool. I haven't yet shot one but from what I have seen they look pretty comphy. For anno I don't have any experience but I like look of what I've seen from A+ and from gruntbull.

I really can't think of too many places that mill at the moment but if I can think of one I will come back.

OH! oops my bad, i love ptp stuff, just i want it pump. :cheers:

[neppo1345]

IMO the whole beauty in an SS-25 is the fact that it's sooooo clean. Your idea ruins that.

NOTICE I SAID: In MY opinion.

If you wanted to do this, it would have been better off to start with a pre-milled VF cocker body and a CCM autotrigger/pump kit.

Also, you're looking at pouring AT LEAST another 300.00 for the milling/anodizing.

So for 800.00... you could have purchased a beautiful one of a kind Carter Buzzard, and probably a new pair of goggles, or stock class harness and tubes.

but you do what you want.

Also, last time I checked, the SS-25 comes with an 86 degree frame...

You do realize any cocker can be made into a pump.

yeah like i said it's a concept i had. i really appriciate your feedback and thank you for the estimate. i did include the 86* trigger frame label in my diagram, it's just drawn like a 90*.
if it's going to cost 300 then it might be too much. it will kill my warranty. mabe just a purple bodykit anno? idk?

thanks for the positive response again. :cheers:

Yea don't mill the clean lines of a CCM. If you must, anno it.

thanks! how much will a dust purple anno, for the bodykit cost (estimate)? and where is a good place to get it done?

[warbeak2099]

Gruntbull could probably do it for around $50-60.

//just kidding//

i think a purple ss25 will be kick arse!

[Skoad]

team total grief, local team that used to play a lot of stockclass/pump might have a purple CCM of somesort. Seem to remember seeing one at the field. They wear purple jerseys and just about all of them have a purple marker or two. Think a couple of them work for APG magazine, so might be pics of their guns floating around.

I don't think you should half block it. It would serve no purpose (unless it were to be made a pneu assist with AT). Plus you'd have to either buy or machine a sled and new bolt for it.

I've always liked the color purple on a gun, but never found a base I thought it would look it's best. But that's just me.

On second thought, have you thought about "jester" type colors? Purple and green with mild yellow? I think that would look cool too. Just a thought.

Either way, no matter what you have done to it, you're going to like it. What isn't there to love? And the 86's... FANTASTIC! I want to pick one up for my Trilogy pump after the holidays. (And if you ever run into a UMF, GRAB IT! Best damn upgrade I've ever put on a 'Mag besides an RT valve! Sorry for the kind-of-off-topic-ness there for a second.)

Good luck!

purple,, green, mild yellow, just trying to visualize... that would be a sweet idea and all, but i only have the money for one base colr, but that's a great idea. thanks for talking about the halfblock pump stuff, i was curious about that... i got that idea from this picture:
http://www.beog.org/redeye/images/half%20block%20cocker/halfblock17.JPG
i believe this is a half block micrococker, but idk. i thought it would look cool on an ss25.

anyway heree are the parts i will get annoed:

back block
body
pipe barell tip
feedneck ring
86* frame


and i think that's all. thanks for allthe help lenny and the rest of you. you guys are great.
****will post pics when, and if get it done****


EDIT: Skoad, thanks for the pics and the link, that really helped. I apriciated it greatly!

Im wondering if the vert frame will bring you in too tight to pump smoothly? Would look pretty slick though.

p.s. If you want mad pimpin' purple you need to go with a deep royal as shown here :D

Man, I havent heard anything about Grief in a LONG time.
Great team, standup guys. We could use more people like them, in and out of paintball.

I would be flattered! Pics dont do the color justice either, its crazy deep in the sun. Actually that is the marker I had made for my girlfriend. Its a DC one-off and it straight rips. Definitely the fastest shooter Ive ever had. I have a digital color sample I sent to the ano company so they knew exactly what I wanted. Here it is in case you want it :cheers:

http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/9686/anocolorsampleuv8.jpg

It almost looks black. I call it "eggplant".

thanks so much, that does almost look black. i might want a little bit brighter purple though... but idk, i'll think about it. i really like that color! your girlfriend plays paintball! i wish girls in my school played. :cry:

I love where he labled the obvious parts.

INLINE REG
PUMP


DonMiguel <----IDIOT


See! I can do it too!

[cyrus-the-virus]

For once don you gotta good idea. Though I woulden't get the body milled like that it would look retarded IMO

Just get it halfblocked, and annoed. Make sure you get your barrel annoed to match as well so it doesen't look retarded.

If you plan on using the SC feed you'll need to get a rever feed for it because the pull pin will get in the way.

Is that the best you've got?
Im not trying to be funny, I just want you to start using your brain before you post.
You're just as bad as DJ89 and Emagballer.

It's only a paintball gun, and not even a rare one at that. So who cares? Chop it up. Make something unique out of it.
