    What's that one revolver one? i've never seen one like that, and it looks cool, that's the true .44 magnum of paintball.

    edit: Rather the .68 magnum i suppose.

          It's either a 62 cal AGA, or the more common 50 cal 3357.

                    Um, the paint wasn't "custom" when the gun came out. There were a number of guns that used it and it was commonly available. Even some of the old pumpguns used them.

                        Lol whoops I just woke up from a dream and realized I forgotten about this thread... well in truth I kinda had the reset button pushed for meself the other night: got hit by a car I'm ok though... my left knee took a prettty good hit. I honestly am starting to feel some validity in the term devine intervention. Really had me freaked out and still am shook up... just glad to be alive right now.

                        Indeed there's a new member of the family thats about to be added to the collection, the euro x. I will probably be making room by seeing the cnc off I'd love to take a run at Atach... but that's probably not possible for many reasons, The most prohibitive of which would be the financial aspect of it all, but also consider the market for sfl's and xmags alike. In any event there can be only one, just like in that tv show Highlander. Before selling I'm going to take a shot at fixing the ace on the cnc as it's in a state of disrepair.

                        The Crossman revolver is a convert from the .357 pellet gun (I believe)... will say that .50 cal paintballs are still around, I think some blowguns take the ammo, I even saw a 500 container for sale at sports authority. Doesn't hold air right now. That's the way I recieved it Ohh man it seriously challenged my abilities when I put it back together. This was of course after it had spent a year at a certain pbfield where a certain tech claimed he could fix it... basically he made it worse by taking it apart in front of me, throwing everything in a plastic bag, and then neglecting it for a good 12months. Did alot of ing at it. I'll have to get in touch with crossman and see about some new seals.

                        GH- The 03 Viking is stock valve... I was thinkin about doing the robtown back when yours was up for sale but had since decided to leave it as is. I'm so used to good ole mags and their hefty gas appetite that I am happy enough with the Viking as is. Glad you like it, it's certainly one of my favorites for a good hard day of playing.

                        Okay so what color(s) should I anno this euro-x... for those who don't know its a raw body, whooootzilla! I kinda have a direction I'd like to go in, but I'm still open to some suggestions. Basically I'm thinking a combo of olive and black. Maybe dust although I don't have many other dust markers... that being said I think the euro's really uhh shine with a dust finish (lol get it). I was thinking a solid olive for almost the whole gun and then a fade to black at the back to match the valve. Also thinking a small fade from black going up to olive on a battery pack would be cool. I'm going to have two batteries for this gun annoed.

                        I was thinking about one other splash idea, basically having a ink blot style (ala Ralph Steadman) in black fading out of the back and ending around the breech area, and/or out of the bottom of the battery pack. So I might just do the ink blot thing on a batt pack alone, or I might make it an overall theme on the gun. Sometimes less is more when the gun is so gorgeous to begin with. Lol maybe I'm up at this hour because I know I'm buying my dream gun today... were doing a local pickup this evening, that and grabbing some sushi. Can't wait!

                          Yes indeed a hoarder if you are keeping that many.

                          In my case I am a hoarding whore. I currently have ten working markers and have traded off at least five in the past year. I have two markers currently in the mail, one coming one going. I have the parts of ANOHTER build coming in.....have too much time on my hands right now...lol

                          By the way, I am glad to hear you made it through your accident ok. Glad to see you give the Lord his due for pulling you through mostly unscathed.

                            This collection is beautiful!! As far as your Euro body, yep it is raw, never anno'd before. I like olive to black dust idea and that your thinking of doing it mainly olive. There are a couple of dust black to greenish factory fade Euro's out there, so mainly a olive fade would be slick. Congrats on picking it up! - Eric

                                Thanks Tach... and yes Warwitch had mentioned you were intermixed in the euro's lineage... I'm just about to leave right now to go get that from him glad you like the anno idea. I think I'm gonna go with it, but I'm at least going to bring up the ink blot idea with GBA (most likely going there for anno).

                                Mark, you're insane, and yes I will photo the euro with one of my cats... Shens: I dunt get it...

                                Punkn, I R hoarder indeed. Duuude same thing goin on here, before the euro I was knee deep in a pneu build... still got to pay for a xvalve I have lined up. Thats tomorrow. Just bought a cnc pack as well b/c Tuna said that half had disappeared in a single day. Wloader system just showed up today, the euro was completely spur of the moment and really mixed everything up. I'll get it all sorted somehow... and hopefully the financial recovery period will be short.
