Any pics of the whole setup? Looks cool, but not something I would try.

Very nice! No pics of the assembled marker?

It's apart right now because of the board being out. Picture this, with a richochet, and a blue light on the backstrap. That's it. I will update this thread later. I'm thinking about buying one of those video capture things at radioshack so I can get a video of the rippage.

before photo, very similar to after photo.

not something I would try.

Like I said, it really doesn't make sense finacially, time wise, or in any other way. I'm just extremely picky about what I shoot and I'm getting closer to the perfect thing. Now if I could do something about the efficiency...

GREAT WORK!

These are the posts I love to see in the Workshop.

you got it working! great! it's good to see people with motivation put effort into a project. it doesn't matter if it cost you just as much as buying something pre-made. the important thing is that you made something from your own will and design. with the right tools, you could make some very cool, and very fun stuff. it's much more fun to shoot something you've created.

Now, here's another helpful hint.
from the pics I noticed that the manifold is very close to the back of the circuit board. that's bad. this could have possibly shorted-out the morlock(predator) board and that's why it quit working. you need to insulate the back of the board. it is very important to keep the baord from making accidental contact with conductive materials(aluminum). the simplest way is to apply a piece of electrical tape to the back of the board. use any color but black. black will leave a nasty adhesive residue on the board. I like white or orange.

well I hope the best for your board.

Nice job.

What'd you use for a ram?
Are you using a ULE trigger pull kit
to lighten the pressure to actuate the ram or
use a smaller ram?
Got any pics of the ram against the sear?

Not so, I'm way quicker than that, and insulated the whole back of the board with electrical tape, it's just not in the pictures which is test-fitting. I had to use black though, because it's all I have.

Clippard SM-6

Are you using a ULE trigger pull kit

yes. It trips the ult at 40psi. It might trip the regular on/off within the 100psi limit, but I haven't tried it.

tomorrow, my camera batteries are dead.

I am going to walk to your house and look at your stuff is that ok?


Too bad u dont play at splat id love to see that thing.... oh and shoot it of course!


Oh, can u tell me the distance between the 2 grip frame screws and the distance from the rear screw to the end of the lil ledge. I asked in tech help but nobody answered...

[trains are bad]

you have to explain yourself better on the second one.

Splat is is Canal Fulton ya? If we ever play up there I will try to get a hold of you. Actually they are trying to set up an AO OH day this spring and I think splat was one of the options where they might do it.

oh yeah, why are you up at this hour?

[ojhspyro89]

Why are you up this late!

lol


Ok the frame thign.

What is the distance between the 2 holes where the screws screw into the rail?

Im trying to see if itll fit my bko or something, wouldnt it be kool a bko with a y grip!!!!

there exists a zgrip for bushmasters. I can't remember who makes it though.

I called TAG this morning, they said they reflashed the board and it's all sorted, and they're shipping it out today...what a fast turnaround for the holidays. Top notch people to deal with, that lot. I asked them to send me another set of eyes so that I can get a vert ule body and be able to switch between vert and warp.

Zenitram does, actually they are on sale for like 50 bucks a pop. I might pick one up!

Anyway, that looks like some great work! I'd like to see pics of it assembled too

[ojhspyro89]

I just think the AGD y grip is alot cleaner without all thsoe stupid notches in the frame like the zenitram one. thats real cheap. I might hafta pick one of those up sometime.
