Getting my Phoenix back...

[craltal]

So after waiting for a number of weeks I received an email yesterday informing me of the impending return of my phoenix body and parts from Gruntbull Anodizing and just checked my email inbox to find some preliminary pics of the work that was done.

I can't wait to get everything back in my hands and assembled, hopefully just in time for the May MOTM...

:shooting:

EDIT: it arrived today and after working 13 hours I came home and assembled it all. Please excuse the mediocre lighting, it's almost midnight and I'm tired...

We have:
Phoenix body and rail
emag lowers
CNC battery pack
Tuna Blade
A+ mid-rise clamping feedneck
dual Killa detents
Scepter 2000 kit
emag valve #EM810
Luke's aluminum selector switch and grip panels (with custom masking - the mirror image is on the other side)

and of course, Xmod...

Nice I cant wait to see pics.

[craltal]

Since you had a hand in these, I pm'd one of the gruntbull pics to both you and XMT, but nobody else is getting to see it until I get it all in my hands and fully assembled...

When did they recieve your gun? the've had a friend of mines gun since march 3rd(day of delievery not shipping). No emails.

[jp8900]

Sweet im jealous... i cant wait to get my email from GB.. ^^^ Thats me

[Empyreal Rogue]

That's really unlike GBA to not keep in touch like that. Even when I sent him my X-Valve for his revival project and through the dozens of quotes I asked of Todd he has kept in really close contact. Wonder if something's up...

[TnDeathInc]

they received mune the 27 of march --- and i contacted them somewhere around last monday and they said they had it and there were still a few guns ahead of me --- GBA, that is..

[Ruler_Mark]

This makes me more and more want to start my own garage jobs. now to get a garage in order todo said jobs :ninja:

[going_home]

I reckon it was only like two weeks Bazooka_boy had my Phoenix .
Polish and dust black.
I'm happy with it.
A) turn around time
B) price
C) quality

All good.

Played Saturday but it was a pump meet so I still havent had a chance to use my Phoenix yet.

:(

february 24th was when I sent it out...

I plan on using Bazooka Boy for my next project, but then again that one won't have the special thing this one had...

preliminary pics are up in the first post...

I like those grips, very nice. Are they luke grips, and did GBA do the tattoo?

[craltal]

I believe they are an older set of Luke's grips and GBA did the polish and anodizing of everything that's not black including the tattoos.

[cougar20th]

Nice work. Like the color scheme alot. Its fitting.

[KevinA]

:clap: that looks awesome!

[jade_monkey07]

looks amaszing nice job on picking colors for the anno.
i think a little bit more black would set it off Very well...like an xvalve. and maybe even the top portion of the batterypack being black too.
thats just my 2 cents.

[TwilightG]

:wow: That's amazing!

To be honest, I've never really been a Phoenix fan. This anno w/ the e-mag lowers totally changed my mind!

Great job! Now I just need to save up to get my chord anno'd. :cheers:

[VTLO910]

Very Nice...! :headbang:

[Ruler_Mark]

very nice. :clap:

[Forsaken9988]

I think thats would look even sicker with a black X Valve. It would really complement the barrel front and trigger frame. The EMag valve just looks out of place color wise to me. Sick gun none-the-less though man

Yeah, upon putting it all together I'm inclined to agree, however I'm torn since it's such an old valve and sort of fits with the "rising from the ashes" phoenix idea...

[cyberave68]

Thats the first Phoenix body i like. (Sorry kinda a Karta guy) I like the color set up you have there, GBA did a great job on it. I also think a black valve would complete the gun better, but sweet marker anyways.... :hail:

...Or get your hands on an E-Maxx valve. (that's obviously no easy task)

[Eatem Alive]

That is a nice looking marker. Good job.

[gruntbull]

Glad you like it, and for the guy wanting to do it in his garage, I would suggest more than just a garage. We have about 5K sq ft of space and we are soon thinking of upgrading not only our line but our shop.

[Chaos_Theory!]

The whole gun should have been done in the acid wash OR have more black so it doesnt look akward. Dont get my wrong, it still looks great but it could be better imo.

[TnDeathInc]

Todd beautiful phoenix job and tattoo, congrats to the owener of this fine specimen. Beware the sprite biohazard is coming.

[PsychoBaller]

Awesome Ano'd Phoenix E-Mag!, nada else to say :D

[txrabbit]

holy christ! that's friggin amazing... you make me sad that none of my toys are that pretty...

[BlueDragonX]

That's an awesome color scheme for the Phoenix! It works well on every level. It helps bring out the Phoenix milling while emphasizing the meaning of the word.
