is it me or do so the colors seem severely darker than others, are they supposed to be like that?

rudz is definitely not the first one to say this and it is a good question

Just a little info for you guys on aluminum and anodizing ,(some of you know this and some of you dont ) and im sure bazooka boy can relate to this but,..
the different grades of aluminum (not to be confused w/ quality) will make for different shades
example ;look @ the rouge body & front half of the X valve =made out of between 2000 & 4000 grade
rail ,gripframe ,back part of valve =6010 grade
6010 grade is almost pure aluminum ,but is also softer than the other lower #'d grades
the 2010 grades and such are mixed w/copper & alloy's . why you ask ?
well lets just keep it to paintball marker related ,.........its for strength ,think about the beating
that front half of that Xvalve goes through in its lifetime
same goes for the body's and the spring seat that are in them .if it was 6010 it would probably last a few months if that before "mushrooming " to hell

Dont BS us Larry. We know thats a Rit and Sharpie job. If I were you Id get my money back Al.









Absolutely LOVE it!

Very nice job on both the gun & the anodizing.

It works with the camo though. I love having to shoot people to keep them from walking on you.

Great detail in that anno! What barrel is that? With the anno it looks like a tank barrel.

actually the body and both pieces of every valve I have ever done are all 7xxx series alum, its alot stronger as NU_Metal said, but I have never encountered a valve with 2 different alloys yet...maybe it was one that was caught between batches, so the front and back are not of the same raw round stock...

as with sandfreestyle's joker mag, the valve and body are the same, but I have herd of stranger things happening than having the aluminum qualities not match up nor the batch, making variances, some subtle, and some very obvious.



either way, greens are about the hardest to keep colors consistant with, expecially between the body/valve and rail/frame. (lucky I discovered a trick to keep them consistent, too bad I am not doing anno at the moment, or at least not in any amount...NU_Metal, you can PM me now, so you may know the secret too ) nice looking marker.

the other thing i didn't mention
when your holding it in your hand ,its so un-noticeable then when you take pics .lighting outdoors ,flash,all that good stuff come's into play
and for some reason more so for the dark" earthtone" colors



if i had the W/witch tailing me all day long ,i would have master photography photo's readily available

Man, that joker mag looks like it was made in a modeling program.

I like it, it looks awesome.

Why would you give up when all you have to do is post the link to your pic for MOTM???? Its in the rules.....Post the link.

To all.
The rules are there for a reason. Like making your pictures the right size. For some reason beemer has been very nice and only breaks the image code.
I may consider not looking at any links when determining the finalists.
Which means. RESIZE YOUR PICS

Thats why no linky posty Beemer . You think I havent tried using the ? :

<a href="Picture URL Here"><img src="Picture URL Here" width="600" height="450"></img></a> 

? I've spent hours and its not working. I will keep trying I guess. At some point the amount of time trying makes it a decision whether its worth it or not.

On another note, when you are holding the marker looking at it with the naked eye it all blends exceptionally well like camo should even though some parts are different shades, it looks intentional to the eye. Its just the pics arent coming out well, I will try getting some at high noon and see if that does the anodizing justice.

just paste the picture URL(http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...p/DSC_0527.jpg in the above picture...note its shortened here, you need the full address) over "Picture URL Here" in both spots(including the "s)

to get the link, right click on whatever picture you want to submit, hit properties and you will see the address, highlight(triple click is easier as sometimes part is hidden from view), copy and paste 2 times in the needed spots and you should be good to go.

beautiful mag btw who did the rail if you dont mind me asking?

[hobo in my trunk]

That's a Deadly Winds Dallara rail.
