If you need to drill something like holes for the screws,.. you need a drill,.. and a drill bit.
The frames (other than this one) don't have holes pre-drilled for the MPA3 set screws,.. and the other frames dont have these much needed holes tapped either,....
... so you need a tap as well,....
Should I go on or are you all set?

You WANT that window in there!...so people can say "what the frig is that?!"Originally posted by ShirowSo, where can I get some rubber grips that aren't made for IR3s? I don't want the LED window in the middle.
I know Luke has some convex aluminum ones and I've seen some flat aluminum ones on Chimeras, any other types?

I was wondering what the "hardware" is.
I shot the frame once a few month back. From what I gather then in the chrono range,.... you need all the pneu parts (MPA-3, SMAV, hoses, screws, etc)
That's probably the hardware list in question. If the ram and SMAV were mentioned already,.. then Id say the list would be only the screws.
Im still waiting to be able to pick one of these up.

Stinger Paintball has clear acrylic ones....
,.. I dont know where else you can get some beyond that unless you know someone that can get them made

This doesn't come with the MPA-3 etc.. it's just (AFAIK) the parts you need to mount them into the frame (screws, brackets, whatever)Originally posted by p8ntbal4meI shot the frame once a few month back.

You still have to get the other parts separately.Comment

It has pre drilled and tapped holes for a few different configurations that require SAE and Metric threads and screws. Everything you need is supplied. No Radioshack screws needed here. Proper means just that...proper...as in not half assed. It all fits PROPERLY. I am not going to list what is in the hardware kit. Do your own homework like I had to do. The new owners of these frames will love the fact that they dont have to go running around to find the right stuff.Originally posted by MANNI understand that it has pre drilled holes for pneumatics.

I think he was generalizing more then anything. It take time to get and gather everything needed for a project like this and get everything just right the way it needs to be for drilling and tapping and going out and finding the proper HDWR for the panels, the grip itself, the internals...ect...
I'm sure it isn't an easy feat.

Originally posted by TunamanTrigger, frame, grips, screws, PROPER hardware for mounting the pneu kit, prototype fees, design fees...its all in there. You would spend 50 bucks in time alone finding the right hardware.I understand the screws, and the proper location. I understood that from your previous post.Originally posted by TunamanIt has pre drilled and tapped holes for a few different configurations that require SAE and Metric threads and screws.

I thought that the hardware was something other than screws or the correct placement. my mistake.Originally posted by TunamanI am not going to list what is in the hardware kit. Do your own homework like I had to do.

because frankly its by far the priciest aftermarket mag frame I've seen to date
(not counting the EM ripper frame with its electronics).
If you dont want people to see what they are getting thats up to you.
I guess if you can sell them that fast why would you bother anyways.
Congrats on the sale sir.

Well, I'm guessing that we partly paid an early adopter price.. but, that being said it is hard to really know how big the market is for mag stuff anymore. I wonder sometimes how many individual sales there are to be made of any aftermarket part.
Zap easily sold 80 Cheaters but is there a market for many more? These frames sold quickly but between all the hype, the speed of decision making required and the small number, it's all a contributing factor.
This is no slam to anybody, I'm just speculating out loud. I guess if all anyone is really looking for is a vert frame, there's a red, triggerless Chimera for sale in BST for $100. It's not like there aren't other options out there.
My cash situation is short nowadays but I still try to put what I can into the mag market because I do appreciate the time people are spending to try and keep this whole scene alive. I will say the cost of this frame was pretty much the limit I would've been prepared to spend.Comment
