I think it came out pretty good. Had enough air in the tank to rip on it dryfire stylee, but ran low right before i was going to throw some paint in it. Also, check out the new Kila detents that just came out. They're a bit smaller than the old style, and come in packs of 2 for the same price I think. Lastly, would like to thank Luke from Luke's Customs for his work on the rail and 125customs for the beautiful anno job. What do you guys think?

Unfortunately, I don't believe they're up on the site yet. When you order, they should contact you and ask if you want the old style or new style. Or at least that's how it went down with me. If you give them a call, they'll know what you're talking about. Their customer service is excellent.

Excellent job.
I'd like some more info on the foregrip. Does the bottom part screw onto the top part? Did you make that or buy it somewhere?
Inquiring minds want to know. :cheers:

Designed/made (partly made, needed some help from someone with a lathe) the foregrip myself. It's pretty self-explanatory. Top and bottom parts are threaded and screw together. LPR screws into bottom of the top part. High pressure air comes in, goes down into LPR and also goes up and out to the valve. Then just have a hole drilled out for the LPR hose to run up. To finish it off, use a tubing end cap to close up the bottom.
For this project I did some extra work to it and tried to contour it to the Etek frame, as you can tell. Anyone else can just leave it as is (cylindrical), drill a hole into their rail and run the LPR hose into the rail. My LPR hose runs through the Etek trigger frame, which has a channel pre-existent for the hose.
I do have a couple of more that I have not drilled out and tapped yet. Was thinking about making them and selling them off. It was designed around the WGP Outkast LPR however, and I am not sure what other LPR's would fit.
By the way, thanks for all the great comments everyone!

Looks good, the trigger guard looks odd on a mag, not bad, just out of the ordinary.

Depends on how nice you want it to look. You can do one up pretty cheap if you attach the LPR to the ASA and want to modify the trigger frame a little bit. The EP kit will run you a little over $100 maybe (solenoid, pneumatic kit, LPR, rf adapter kit to steal the connector). The Etek frame will run you about ~$50 (complete with trigger, board).
Mine however...not so cheap. :rolleyes:

love the fade anno and the abrupt front end. Very nicely put together.
You owe us vids, though. Pics aren't enough for that kind of a gun. ;)

in the process of making one myself. you did a very clean and classy job.
You know, anyone can make a gun look custom... few people can make it clean enough to look stock with out a second glance. Many, many props... many, many props

Congrats on almost finishing. You owe it to yourself ot go get some black grip screws to replace those silver phillips head screws you've got. Seriously.
But awesome job on everything else. First word in my head when I saw the first picture "WOW".
And great job on that foregrip, that is really cool :eek:
