    Yet another EgoMag

    Update as of 6/12/07 This thing is done!! Need to do some testing with a valve but it jams without one! Will get that done soon. Video in a few days I hope.

    I bit the bullet and finished up the major part of the job today. After working all night I decided to go ahead and do some work on her. I still need to set the mpa-3 in with set screws and get my noid and LPR but that is all little stuff. As you can see from the pics I butchered it with the dremel on the inside and accidentally nicked the outside which should sand down ok. I did it most of the way with a drill bit, but then decided my bur bit would be better The red just doesn't go with the green so was planning on re-anoing the thing anyway. As you may see from the pics, I did things a bit different.



    Instead of drilling through the frame like most have, I decided to mill (if you can call it that ) out the inside front so I could put a screw in to hold the body on. The Ego frame already had a slot in the back for the shortened valve screw which is what really gave me the idea.

        did you use the stock mounting holes? pretty cool idea, definitely makes for a much cleaner look. is the noid not in there?

            No noid yet, haven't ordered one yet. The stock mounting holes were used for the body and the valve. I then tapped 2 holes for the grip frame. If you click on a pic you can check them all out. I do have some close ups of the process.

              i see, id bet its a pain striping that down as you now have to take off the frame to pull out the valve but it seems to me its a small price you have to pay to have a cleaner install

                          well the marker definitely looks awesome. ill be putting my frame up for sale as soon as i finish it. im going to use an 06 frame next and have luke mill it so it looks cleaner. mine still looks prety clean, an anno would remove most the marks. good luck

                              Ok, the wait is over. I finished it up tonight!! I am at work and didnt bring a valve but every thing is working so far. In the morning I will put an x on her and see how she fires. I will try and get a video but prob not for a few days. I am going out Sat and will give an AAR.
