Well,
i got my PIPE in mail yesterday, and i thought you all mite like some more info and pics. since there hasent been much floating around.
my first impression after i took it out of the box was what a nice package/case.
it is 3 part case. the big tube and the cap for it. then theres a red stand to hold the backs and the tip. i went to pull a back off and it was hard. then i noticed that there were Orings on the shafts holding the backs and the tip in place. i thought that was a nice touch, so your stuff wont roll around.
when i got the back off, the first thing i looked at was the milling. it looks like a mirror in there, i dont know how to tell but it looks like it is honed to .0007 like they say. it is very nice.
so i screw the back into the tip, yes the back into the tip, onlike the freak. the alignment of the backs to the tip looks perfect. and since the lip is going in the right direction (back->tip) it looks like it should be easy on balls.
the porting on the tip is at a strange angle like they say. i will have to wait to break a ball to see how it clears. or maybe when i get more air ill clogg them up and see.
so i put it on the gun and air it up. it is a lot more quite then my freak. i grab some paint and head outside.
it shot great. nice match to the paint i had and hitting strings on the side is a 4" tree.. i ran out of air pretty fast so i couldnt test to much.
but what i did notice was that the tapper in the tip made it easier to aim. i like to aim down the barrel and it is like you are seeing a point to your target. it is hard to explain, but the tapper flows down your eyes and points to where you want to shoot
well thats enuff for now, here come the pics. i tryed to pickup on the stuff i talked about.
