X Mag / Changes - pic heavy

[maniacmechanic]

My latest X Mag is getting a work over
The begining ;



what I got back yesterday ;








this is a Water Transfer Printing job , the guy that did it REALLY worked with me to get my desired results , a continious flowing pattern , that flows from one part to the other
Another cool thing about WTP is there is no nasty dipping in the lie , stuff is either taped off or the hole is plugged ( so you don't have to worry about " thats been annoed 3 times , can't do it again ") none of the internals , mating parts or screw hole tolerances are affected Examples ;



Droped off a hopper , warp feed & a set of lexan panels yesterday when I picked this up , more when I get them back

Wow!

From ultimate speedball to ultimate woodsball!

Can you do another picture of yourself with your complete setup like you have on your BEO banner pic? You would definitely be a woods ninja.

[BigEvil]

Yeah we would never find him

dude that is sweetness right there, that is one of the options i am thinking of doing for the my new automag set up. awesome work.

the place you got it done, do they take on work and other pattern options?

[Madmarx]

I hope you don't drop it out in the woods... you'll be screwed!!!

That's beautifull. Would love to see it assembled with the valve and everything else.

We should have a directory for companies who do this kind of finishing, as well as anodizing and powder coating. That should be stickyed on either the BST Dealers forum or the Tech forum.

where is my gun ?

Doesn't work as well here , as it would in oak leaves , but here ya go

still would be very hard to see when you are playing, specially if you were to stay still, not moving till it was waaaay to late for the other player. here its easy to see because we are looking for it. great work, one last question. if you took aprt a classic valve and sent it to them, you think that would work and able to be done without having trouble with the valve?

When we started , he said as long as it can be sealed off & put under water it could be done , most of the stuff he does is trip , alligator skulls , pig skulls , dear antlers with skull plates , firearm, stocks , atv parts , he just did a set of carbon fiber airboat props & made them look like real wood

Nice Hank!!!!
Still thinking of having Tim do my other shocker with the skull pattern

[going_home]

Now that is very nice sir !
Only way it could be any better is if Larry started doing anodizing again

[maniacmechanic]

Any idea on durability of the finish?

Any idea on durability of the finish?

When this is done it will be taking the Primary gun position from my other Warp fed X Mag , if I'm not using it there other capable hands that will be , part of my plan with this gun it to check the durablity of the coating

1 day & nobody has noticed
