Thank you, I've drooled over both you guy's mags.

I'm donating all my project idea's after this is done for open source. I've been diagnosed with stage 2 myeloma at 26, i won't be playing to much longer as i bruise and bleed excessively... this will eventually turn into a wall hanger and i'll most likely sell it here for treatment moneys (I hope KNM is still around :) )

that is the foregrip off my vic, it is just a outer shell... however i have drawings to make a reg just like that of a vic to thread into a normal vasa.

I'm going to put HP steel line inside to have internal air (Ala Flatliner / Kwik)

Sweet build man.

The frame looks like it was meant to go with the body! I am loving it a lot. I might have to keep my eyes open on the BST as well!!!!

God speed my friend. I hope and trust that 2013 brings a miracle your way. Just continue to keep your head up and pray.

I've done lots of research into this build.
the internal airline will be SS instrument line for industrial pneumatic valves rated to 5000 PSI, the frame can fit a MPA and sleeper LPR as well as electronics. I'm also working
on this

HP air will run thru the asa via LPR sleeper style running up teeing of to the bottom of the valve and to the top of the LPR foregrip.
the LPR is a schreuder style (tire valve) like the bob long regs almost a direct copy of the vic design

Looks great. Hope to see this finished. You should try make it into a reverse mag like hill did a while back. http://www.techpb.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=145522 <- here's one of the many build threads he had about it. Would be quite awesome if you could do that. He did say it was temperamental though. Maybe you can refine it a bit more?

the reverse mag build has been done many a time be for hill,

it was already proven to have issues. there is a reason Mr. K made his markers the way he did, or the platform that is.

good luck with the build man, and get better.

The frame can't work without a rail, but the rail I have in mind is about 5mm high. just tall enough to fill the gap and hold the sear parts

Forget the guns. How is the health holding out?

I'll try to keep it short...

I actually injured my back underway on the USS EISENHOWER (CVN 69), continued use after what medical told me was a minor injury lead to a reinjury → ended up with a ruptued disk and fractured fascet joint between L4 - L5 vertebra.
The only reason the cancer was caught was due to the frequent blood work while in the hospital/physical therapy.

Due to the injury if I start chemo/radiation it will affect healing of my lower spine, so im waiting...
Im due for medial branch block on Sept 5 then we go from there

Navy medical waiting game

Til then I slowly creep around the field taking pop shots a electro welding know-it-all's

i had no idea yet on an anodizer. I was thinking maybe Bunny or KNM or someone who has recently ano'd a few guns will chime in here

as far as the color scheme i was thinking a reverse fade, maybe light green with a light splash overlay??? I don't want to cover up the beautiful milling on the body, something kind of like this (http://www.paintballrevolution.com/images/products/detail/LimetoTitaniumFadewithBlackSplash.jpg) but less splash

Did you catch up with maghog yet to see if he would carve the rail for you. with some patience and a file and maybe a dremel you could make it look nice yourself.

I thought you were just going to use that die grinder like we discussed? Maybe you need to step up to the coarse pad?

It was just 2 fins, and just to blend in with the rail better.

Ok here are the pics, I must have been mistaken about grinding the body... weird

mostly I just delicately removed metal to blend A to B but cause the body had such a SOLID straight line and the frame was much skinnier and wavy. I broke up the 2 of these by throwing it on the mill and carving the line on each side as a break between the wavy and the dominate flat area.
