      I rarely post (mostly just a lurker) but I feel compelled to let you know that this marker is by far one of, if not thee, most amazing looking marker I have laid my eyes on. A true thing of beauty.

        I'm looking forward to the day you enter MOTM.

        This is what I picture happening...

        You enter the gun as the FIRST open class entry.

        The days go by until the last day.

        And NO ONE else enters a marker.

        You win uncontested!!!!!

        You'd really piss some people off if you waited till the last day of entries.

          That is unless an aurora x-mag was posted, then it would be interesting.

            Why the stock feedneck?

            I think an RGP feednack would look a bit nicer if you just got the ring done.

              This has already been answered.

              Up a few posts somewhere. Basically. That is what he had.

One of, if not the reason that PE quit doing it.
                There have been several attempts at a similar process. I remember one guy talking about his "figuring" it out, but that it turned out to flake quite a bit. Might even be the same guy who has found a better way. But simply by the nature of it being a plating, or anno process it is not the same. It looks great, the effect is just as stunning.
                The process Eclipse used on the old Aurora cockers was called "spectrum physical vapor disposition". It is a method of plating that requires between 20k and 40k volts to pass through the piece. The high voltage led to high failure rates.

                And that is one beautiful mag, best one I've seen yet....I was planning on doing the aurora finish with my new mag project...but looks like you beat me to it....gggaaahhh

                  Well I don't like to read entire thread, just the first page(even though it was the first post on the second page) :P

                  Is ODD still doing arora finishes? I've tried contacting them a couple times but they won't reply to my e-mails.

                    cyrus-the-virus: I would message cutstep on pbnation. He was the main person in charge of the aurora service. I spoke with him for a while about a project of mine and if I remember correctly they are trying to finish up the latest batch of guns before they do anymore. Also, look for a high price I don't think they will do many small part batches anytime soon. Good luck.

                    VeeWee: Great looking marker. Hope you enjoy it!!!!

                      I have to agree with whoever said they were glad you didn't waste such a beautiful setup on a Karta Rail with holes. I love my holeless Karta Rail, I wouldn't trade it for anything else. I work really hard to see to it that I could get the holeless rail I wanted.

                      I can't wait till I have my Pneumag anodized. Though I'm days away from dropping 500 dollars on a virtually new '06 Cyborg, plus a few extra parts so I guess the Pneumag will be raw for a few more months!

                      Truly unique setup. It's perhaps the only aurora automag in existance. At least that I'm aware of.

                        Everything syncs up very well, and while i used to think that aurora finished looks dumb on the dye guns, it looks excellent on an e-mag, especially the karta!

                          I actually started with a three-hole rail Karta Emag but I came across this no-hole body and rail that was setup as a mechanical mag last fall.

                          Some posts mention an Xmag would look better, I tried to buy one last winter. I missed out on a few that went for less than a $1000 that would've been perfect candidates, there were more for sale but I didn't want pay more than $1000 considering I already had this Karta Emag setup ready to go.

                            JUst incredible! I love the black contrasts and, for me personally, the stock feedneck is ultra cool!
