New pics!

Now with 12v warp...

Thanks to spazzed (smoke warp) and Havoc_Online (12v mod help).

With the warp, this gun is very well balanced and very comfortable!

Pictured are the stock barrel (polished bore with mother's) and X-revy. However, I do have a M98 Freak back and a Halo B. I was just too lazy to set it up...

My latest project...

While waiting forever to Modifiedpaintball.com to deliver the Lapco Direct Feed I ordered a couple of months ago, I decided to "experiment" with my M98.

With my new warp (thanks spazzed!) setup, I wanted to run the feeding hose as directly as possible into the feeding port of the M98.

In order to do this went to the local hardware store and purchased a copper elbow (3/4").

Next, I used my Dremel to cut the elbow down a little so it would sit closer to the gun.

Now the next trick is how do I make the elbow stick to the frame? I thought back a little and remember going to the LA County Fair and purchasing some very increadible glue. It's called cyanoacrylate adhesive (CA), and it's the main ingredient in Krazy Glue, Super Glue, etc. It cures extremely fast and is extremely strong! In any case, the guy giving the demo did some really amazing stuff. I remember this demo where he drilled a hole (1/4") into a pipe. Next he put tape on the inside to make a backing. Then he filled the hole with baking soda. After that, he poured in a few drops of this glue and wow! It was as hard and as strong as a rock!

Well, I used this baking soda + cyanoacrylate glue mixture to create a "weld" to bond the copper elbow to the frame. Yes, it IS strong.

I know it's ugly, but after a little sanding and buffing, I'll shoot it with some nice paint and it will look fine.

Here are the pics...

Hey, Awesome work for some glue. How well does it feed? do the balls get stuck in the curve or anything? Btw where in Cali is Redando Beach?

[Jack & Coke]

Redondo Beach is in the southbay of Los Angeles. Right next to Hermosa Beach and Manhatten Beach.

The glue is strong. I can hold the gun up by just grabbing the elbow. The bend is very smooth and the balls feed very fast and nicely!

Now it's a matter of grinding down the rough parts and sanding and buffing and painting... to make it look ok. Can you say Dremel time? :)

Here's some general information about the glue...

You're lucky your a lefty It'd be tough to mount a warp so uniquely if you were a righty :)


Looks great dude, i bet you get some funny looks with that beast.
