Will elcd fit on an RT?

[hostage]

hrmm there might be tolurence issues to blaim here. Though the problem seems like it may be mainly power. I had issues such as that when I used low powered 9v's.

Just a short update...

I'm still waiting on the ULT so I can't see if this is going to work yet, but I got the ULE and X valve in earlier this morning. I'm amazed at how much weight those two mods take off of the setup.

Also, I found a heck of a deal on 14" DYE barrels w/ cocker threads. A guy on ebay has an auction for both and ultralight and boomstick for $119 buy it now. Works for me.

I'm really pretty excited. If all this works here's my new setup:

RT Pro
elcd
ULE
ULT
X-Valve
Ultralight
Egg II
47/3000 crossfire

I just need to get a carbon bottle and it'll be sweet :)

I just wanted to double thank everyone that brought me this far... hostage, social d, cgrieves, Big'n slo, paintballbeaver, and everyone else... I owe ya one :)

Yes, I spent about $500 more than I had planned to get it done, but the elcd works perfect now! I can't say enough how happy I am about how light the setup is now. I'm almost out of air and don't have my cocker threaded barrel yet, so I can't test it other than the fact that the elcd will finally push the sear. I'm anxious to see what it'll do once I get everything put back together.

Thanks all!

I have read your FAQ and DIY. I'm going to see what I think of it as is before I start playing with things. This'll give me a good place to start . I will certainly get back in touch with you in a month or two when I'm ready to move ahead with some more of that stuff.



I'll post a new pic as soon as I get a barrel on it. It's still a bit in the nude

I also would like to redo the macro line. It's a bit short.





I obviously need to get a longer macroline on there too. After I put the drop forward on there the old line is too short.

I also need to paint the grip bracket black. I've never painted stainless before. Will it stick?

Anyway...

Thanks!

Did you ever make a bushing for the grip frame to fix the hole that you drilled out for the banjo bolt? Let me know if you didn't, because I think that I might have one that I made out of delrin. I'll have to see if I can find it.

BTW, good work with the frame. I always enjoy it when someone takes the time and effort to get something to work in a new way.

No prob anytime :)

I haven't done anything with that spacer since I drilled it out. I have some delrin actually sitting around, but I"m sure sure it'd be fun to make it the right size.

here's a pic complete w/ the ultralight barrel



anyone know how to make paint stick on stainless steel? I've never tried to paint it before, but I'm sure paint won't stick very well.

[SocialD]

I would consider getting the bracket powder coated. It will cost you a little more, but it will look nicer and last longer than spray paint. However, if you are set on painting the thing you'll probably need to sand it first to give the primer something to stick to. After you sand it a little, clean it very well. Then, primer coat it. Then, paint it. Spray it with several thin coats to prevent the paint from running. Give it a little time between coats to allow the paint to dry some. Then, apply the next coat. Repeat as necessary.

Glad you got it all working, looks great! :)
