This is the tightest setup I've ever had.

That is one of the tightest setups I have ever seen. Too tight, I'd say. How do you have any stability without having something to butt up against your shoulder. With a Z-grip, you're almost forced to shoulder the marker, especially if you plan to free up your left hand for another setup! ;)

Regardless, good job at keeping this thing tiny! That would fit in a shoebox. :cheers:

Yeah, i realized super tight setups can be detrimental, so i moved away from them.

I figure I'll hold it by the front of the tank. This absolutely won't be the most stable setup, but if the smallness lets me run up to people better I think it'll work. I can always change it around if I decide I don't like it, but I'm going to have to play a few games like this first.

That's the way to do it. Try it before you fuss with it. That looks somewhat similar to mine, so I like it by virtue of that fact :dance:

The one thing that is okay to fuss with are grips. Get yourself some nice grips, unless you really like the ones you have :rolleyes:

It didn't come with grips when I got it so I used the grips off of a benchmark frame. I assume most 45 type grips will fit?

I saw the Lukes thing, but that looks like it requires some milling. For the moment I think I'm going to make some nice wood grips of my own.

My experiences with super tight setups haven't been bad but also haven't been good. I used to have a 7 inch drop, now i use none, so yeah, i dunno, each their own, but i would hate the setup he has.

yea when I first got my mag I played pistol style with a remote and 8" barrel......I hated it. Put the take on the bottom with a big drop....still hated it. Now 68ci tank on a rail...love it and that is how all my markers will be. Well, that is till I have time to do something special with a warp. :dance:

Meh... he stopped making the regular panels, or so it would appear. Sorry.

I may hate it too, just haven't found out yet.

Yeah, i had to play with it before i found i liked the traditional setup better. I even though about reversing the tank like that but feared not having something to shoulder against.
