The Z-Grip Contest!!!

[Maghog]

I don't know if we've done this before, but it might be fun. Let's see some of those pretty Z-grip Mags on here, then we'll vote out a winner. I just got done (before my saw broke) with making some Z triggers and I happen to have one left. The winner takes it.
Howzat!

Voting will be next weekend. I'll get a pic of the trigger up before then.

P.S. Mods, if I'm not allowed to do this, sorry....and delete this post.

P.S. RUDZ...you're cruel. :ninja:

[warpfeedmod]

I think my friend has pics of when he had the garage fire and his two z-griped RT Pro mags went down :(

The frames were just lumps of molten whatever they are, the warp from one had completely melted, and the body on one was actually warped :(

[Loguzzzzzz]

Thanks for saving me the trouble smoothice :cheers:

Yep I think thats the one.
I agree about the barrel sock, its not helping the looks of an otherwise outstanding classic RT.
But it does look like it has a supercharger under the hood though (pneu-modded) .


:D

[Chris]

Ive just gotta share mine.

I've already got one coming, should be here in a few days actually. If by some fluke I actually win a second I'll give it away.

Never thought I'd say it but be like Rudz. Ya and my first thought was RINGER.

Thats a Hot Z. Post pics when you get the trig, you to Rudz.

That is one neat looking body..covering the reg and everything.
Cool stuff.

[Epic_Scotsman]

I think it needs a warp too :P

[ManInBlack]

I'll throw my rather modest one into the mix. Went for compact...

The Drop Kick works amazingly with the Z. I have a black one coming to finish it off.

The Geddon has Lukes on/off knob and looking at getting his off-set Z-Grip rail due to the uncomfortableness of the macro-fitting on my wrist. This thing weighs over 10lbs (with out paint) so it's borderline carpal tunnel :rolleyes:

My saving grace is the angle of the tank. 85% the weight is rested on the shoulder/chest so it's not too bad.

The adapter up top was from a clamping feedneck that broke off from a unfortunate bunker slide/slam. :headbang: Was actually a good thing, now I have a Angel threaded vert Warp adapter :clap:

[Shirow]

Nice! Doesn't look quite as bizarre without the angled qloader but still pretty crazy. I feel you on the weight, I've been moving a lot of my stuff over to ULE just to try to scrape off a bit of weight.. I even got a tingle in my wrist the other week from lugging my heavy old mag around.

[Ando]

If you haven't tried an angled rail like the dropkick or stiletto, you should give one a go. Most of the weight sits right on your shoulder and you use the tank like a pivot point. Makes playing in the front lines/trenches a lot easier.

This one's got something...if it only was taken with the right background.
I really think that the makeup of the picture can help present a gun better. I don't need a floor or a fence disrupting the beauty of a piece of artwork. A nice piece of colored cloth can suffice to make a gun look really pretty.
Ever notice that most MOTM's are really nice shots? :eek:
Dan


These look so much better, don't you agree?

Luke's Vert mod, + a little retaining washer for ego feednecks. (or something like that) The ones Spider-TW has are nice looking and fairly solid.

[Ando]

Very nice Rudz. I see your sporting a stiletto. Aren't they bad *** with the grip. :cheers:
And the trigger looks very good on the marker.

[Ando]

ROFL...That's awesome...

i knew there was a reason to build this mag :rolleyes:

i have a drop kick and i've used it on a lot of my markers, but i've never once considered using it on my z-mag, i think i'll have to try it after seeing it. and i love all theses goofy setups :D

edit: i count 16 so far, that means there are 184 unaccounted for, not including the cripple z frames. i know one has part of the handgaurd cut and another pneu'd one that's not accounted for, stop hiding them!

Ralph I gotta say.

That Z is even better looking now then when I sold it to you.

I love the matching foregrip. Who ever found that for you deserves a BIG pat on the back :ninja: :p :D

[Maghog]

Get your pictures in, I'll do a vote thread on Monday. Don't expect it to be the everyday kind either.
Dan

[Rudz]

Hey I woulda noticed joe walking around with MY foregrip eventually..okay I'm blind..maybe not...but I did just get a polished classic valve in the mail today, its purdy :clap:

New piks?

[DevilMan]

Well I would love to enter this contest, though there is heavy competition and some nice looking setups out there.

But since my toys are in CA and I am in CO... I don't guess I'll get to do it this time around.

Oh well... Good luck to all of you and nice to see some other Z's out there.
