Still don't know for sure if it was black chromed or BN, but it sure is nice looking. Anyone happen to know for sure (Mr. Kaye?), or know how to tell the difference?

Anyway, just thought I would mention that Tunaman is setting me up and I will be taking some before, during and after pics as soon as I start the project.

Thanks Manike.
Thanks Tunaman.

Paintball is FUN!!!

Hey, Rambo this is Gijim from CPPA, anyway are you getting the level ten bolt installed? It is worth more than AGD sells it for, one of the best upgrades I've ever seen. Plus you can impress your friends by sticking your finger in the breech and pulling the trigger and it doesn't hurt!! :) :D

lol i never thought anyone would be brave enough to stick their finger in their gun and fire... At least we now know it is safe too! Paintball is now an even safer sport!

Hey RP,

I'll find out at the World Cup what it is (next week) if Tom doesn't get chance to see and answer this before hand. I expect he is hella busy getting ready for the cup and probably only giving the boards an occassional glance over.

uhm, okay. :)
since I will now have a custom BlackTunaMag, does that make me a maggot? maggite?, magger? mag-user? or just a geek (still).

Out at the field, we used to call them new-fangled semi's (that weren't PPS strokers) autogags and autochunkers.

RB, sorry but your still a geek (kidding!) you are what ever you wanna be! Moggot, or magger, or magman, or the guy with that muddy tube and a grip frame...

How about a classic, black nickel over under nasty hurricane with a black lacqer polished stock! woohoo!

I appologize if it is not good forum policy to reply to your own reply, but thought someone might be interested in the current status of my review:

OK..I took it out to PBX Battlegrounds today to finish it up. I have installed the lines and level 10, and fired this bad boy up. It rocks real bad. I was getting looks and comments from the whole place. I am SURE you will be happy with this one. In fact, I want to keep it! Should go out monday or Tues. A good coat of wax is all thats left.:D :D :D

Because of the limited number of times I can travel that is not work related, I am actually hoping to get to an AO day next year. I get to travel many times through the year, but normaly when it is work related, it is duringhte week, and try as I might, there are almost never any fields open during the week.

I would probably let anyone that asked hold and maybe even play with the mag. (don't ask to touch my Blazer, though - hehehehehe).

I am proud and glad to be back in the AGD-fold, after so many years. I am sure my Blazer will probably see fewer play-days in teh comming playable months. (actually, I just got my PPS-Sleeper-Cocker as well. It needs some quality time too. :))

I am actually thinking about using the mag at the PanAM in LV when I go, it really depends on how comfortable I feel with her.

UPdate...
Check my sig for the link to the BlackTunaMag. It has been received and a couple more pictures have been taken and posted.

Also, not noted on that link is the custom grips and trigger that are being created for me, as well. AO has some very skilled "craftspersons" :)

Well...glad to see it arrived ok. Enjoy this new marker and feel free to ask me anything about it. The boys at PBX in Sussex can vouch for the "Ripping Potential" of this one...if you think it rocks now, just wait til it breaks in a little!:D ;) :D ;)
