WOOHOOOO!

Nicad went out of his way for me. The milling is slightly different from the normal Chord, as it flows up from a more flat area, and the top is leveled out, giving it more "facets" to reflect light from the awesome polish job.

Tomorrow I am starting on the rebuild of my MiniMag, as soon as it's done, I will get more pics up.

Until then, enjoy!:

Here are a couple of good "sculpted" feeds that you might want to consider...

This was at www.buypb.com

OK, Last one!

EsPo, to be sure, it will get a low rise. My local store has low feeds with flames milled into them, all sparkly shiny too! Major, that clamp looks really crappy:D ...and since I don't play THAT hard, I won't need it to keep my hopper on during the non-existant Superman slide!

Quite the compact package, super sweet! How did you get your Retro? valve like that, sand it down a little? :confused:

Army was let loose with a sandblaster!

Sweet gun, beautiful mainbody, what color will it be (my guess, RED!)

Army

Nope, keeping it as raw metal color as possible.

For quite a while now, I have been thinking of ways to get rid of the "oh-so-crappy" SiNs Customs "oh-so-lousy" powdercoat job. Well, nicad provided the catalyst! Yes, the shop beadblaster comes in very handy for personal projects the Captain doesn't know about!

Shiny new polished aluminum, or chromed, barrels are being eyeballed as we speak, and I'm thinking of using Shartley's skills to make a pair of his classy wood panels, dyed blue. But that's for another day.

Time to get out the Black and Green polishing clay and put a mirror finish on the blasted parts.

Can you take a picture of you holding this beast? Just how tight can you get with the "Z" frame and that "off-set" mounting bracket?

And the almost nearly final complete all new MiniMag!

I also picked up a JJ 14", I know what you're gonna say, but you can get away with slightly longer barrels on a Z-grip since the total length is the same as a normal frame with a 12".

But I digress...

I found a small length of 3/8" flexible conduit, that my macroline fit inside like a glove.

Then I picked up a "sea foam green" Angel feed for FREE out of the shops junk bin!

Screwed in a new style Angel detent (no ball, but a little "nipple" instead), and zipped in a TASO 8" SS barrel, and took it to the test range to blast away.......suhWEET!

The feed will be beadblasted to match everything else...and to hide some bad scratches.

So, whatcha think fellers?

Definitely one of the stranger looking setups I've seen, but very nice nonetheless.

VERY nice Army... I'm not particular about the raw metal part though. But it does look sweet!
