Polish it? Chrome it? Powdercoat it?

You can do milling to your body rail, a guy on the forums does great work. Stainless Steel is kinda hard and thin though.

Like the eclipse kit. Comes with body rail, site rail, fore grip etc. in various colors. Take a look at this thread. It has an eclipse kit.

There's also a new type of body kit... That guy who does custom work, I think he's tysonmachdo or something, had an idea, it was body sleeves... You put it over the mainbody and you can mill that to your heart's content... I don't know if he's doing that for people yet but he says it only weighs as much as a sight rail if it's milled well...

Here's what I did to my mag:

And this is the body sleeve idea, I've only done this one for a team mate but I could do more:

how do you keep those body sleeves on the body?

is that a polished aluminum body rail on your mini tyson,
or is it some other metal that you made up yourself?

I like that rail and the foregrip, wondering what it would cost to do one for me?

tysonmachado:

How much for a basic sleeve, for a HR AutoMag. That would save me buying a new body. Nothing fancy, just a sleeve (I can get it anno'd here in TO on the cheap)

FYI, the numbnuts who owned my RetroMag before me cut a hole in the body so he could see the bolt move. Needless to say, I was Not Impressed when I got the gun.

The sleeve is made from two of the AGD style sight rails, one short and one long. They cost about $9 a piece at 800paintball.com. If you just want it cut to fit around the powerfeed you'd only have to send me the short one, and it will cost around $10 plus shipping to have me cut it. If you want some cosmetic carving it will cost more depending upon what you want. PM me and we can discuss the details.

And that sucks about the bolt window, he really should have told you about it before taking your money. The body sleeve would cover that up.
