First laid my eyes and hands on her in 03', and she's been my Primary Marker ever since. As such, all those yrs of abuse took their toll, and 07' had her penciled in for major work... ;) Finally back from da Tuna, she's all sweetness again :cool:

Entirely stripped, polished, and cleaned up. Anno completely redone in her original gloss-blood-Red color. Internals were all tuned up. She is the awesome once again!

Aww dang,... can't believe I forgot to give out some kudos!
HUGE THANKS to da TUNAMAN! He's been my AGD Tech since 03' (back when we were both on the same all-Mag-shooting Tournament Team), to the present 07' Season.
Also, THANKS to ROGUEFACTOR, who also assisted in making my SFL all sweetness again.
:cheers:

She was entirely stripped and polished.
She wasnt just stripped and polished. There was quite a bit of time involved in taking out all the dents, scrapes, knicks, gouges, and blemishes. I just couldnt imagine that thing getting a facelift without all the blemishes being removed. I gotta say, the body looks amazing. Very glossy compared to its original finish.

It's an OLD model, Stabuli Pro-Connect. I'll take some better pics for ya, but basically, there is a male end, and female end. The button on the female end depresses, releasing the male end. It's a quick quick quick disconnect. After disconnecting, all air is bled out of the marker, but air is held in the line.
very nice

Yah, knew it would be like that before the Re-Anno. SFL Bodies are a different grade Alum. than the later produced X-Mag Breeches. It's very slight, but it's better than the raw nickel breech I was playing with for the last 3yrs :rolleyes:
No SFL breech? Oh my. :eek:
Unfortunately, the tolerance specs on my original SFL Vert Breech were milled out sloppily by Shochtech, and was damaged beyond repair / use.

Nothing that could be done about that. As 'Baller said, the aluminum is a different alloy and will never be a perfect match. All those parts were done in the same batch.
Even the feedneck came out a slightly darker shade than the breech, and they were anod assembled.

ah, i see. wow, that is pretty cool! just thought since you didnt have a plain 90* fitting, you did some ghetto setup for the pictures.

I'm actually really impressed you use it as a main. I'd do the same thing, personally. I just can't "do" that collector thing. Guns are meant to be used.

Post up some before and after shots. I'd like to see how mangled it was before the facelift.
How many shots are you getting from the 45/45?

I'm an idiot, I just typoed.
'nuff said.
You can still buy Staubli Pro-connects. Just keep an eye out on the MCB forums, or DocsMachine forums, or in the buy/sell/trade forum here.
Airsoldier used to have them but...they don't appear to any longer.

BigEvil: She doesn't have X-Mod, still thinking bout it. 3.2 is aighty.
PapaSmurf: AGD installed the ACE in her back in 03'. Never really use it though, since the advent of the LVL 10.
Just this weekend I removed the ProConnect setup. Realized I don't need another bleed in the line, since the tank is on the quick bleed CP On/Off ASA. Also, more of the gun body is showing, without that big piece on her side. They are still neat air fittings though :) .
