    Z-Grip

    This is the tightest setup I've ever had.







    Now I just need another one for my left hand

    That is one of the tightest setups I have ever seen. Too tight, I'd say. How do you have any stability without having something to butt up against your shoulder. With a Z-grip, you're almost forced to shoulder the marker, especially if you plan to free up your left hand for another setup!

    Regardless, good job at keeping this thing tiny! That would fit in a shoebox.

      Yeah, i realized super tight setups can be detrimental, so i moved away from them.

        I figure I'll hold it by the front of the tank. This absolutely won't be the most stable setup, but if the smallness lets me run up to people better I think it'll work. I can always change it around if I decide I don't like it, but I'm going to have to play a few games like this first.

          That's the way to do it. Try it before you fuss with it. That looks somewhat similar to mine, so I like it by virtue of that fact

          The one thing that is okay to fuss with are grips. Get yourself some nice grips, unless you really like the ones you have

            It didn't come with grips when I got it so I used the grips off of a benchmark frame. I assume most 45 type grips will fit?

                    I saw the Lukes thing, but that looks like it requires some milling. For the moment I think I'm going to make some nice wood grips of my own.

                      My experiences with super tight setups haven't been bad but also haven't been good. I used to have a 7 inch drop, now i use none, so yeah, i dunno, each their own, but i would hate the setup he has.

                        yea when I first got my mag I played pistol style with a remote and 8" barrel......I hated it. Put the take on the bottom with a big drop....still hated it. Now 68ci tank on a rail...love it and that is how all my markers will be. Well, that is till I have time to do something special with a warp.

                          Meh... he stopped making the regular panels, or so it would appear. Sorry.

                            I may hate it too, just haven't found out yet.
