My e-blade project

[boggerman]

This started out innocently enough, I was surfing ebay and ran across a stock 2k3 cocker body with all the internals, asa, front & back blocks for like $50. I looked at my pile of leftover cocker parts and thought with that stuff, I could put together another gun. Well cool, I bid on it but lost at the last minute but it went for around $135 anyway, but it got me thinking that all I needed was a body, asa, and springs, so I started looking for that and found this body:

Brand new with matching backblock and anno'ed for $50 shipped. Cool I thought, then I began to think that this body was too cool to waste on stock cocker parts, so I decided to transfer my e-blade over and make the old body back into a stocker. Then I decided that now would be the time to add an upgrade or two to the e-blade, and it was all downhill from there .

Parts scrounged from original e-blade marker:
e-blade (duh ), actually the worr-blade kit
shocktech frontblock, ram, and fgp reg
kapp beavertail and twisted cocking rod
aa vigilante reg

New parts:
body and backblock from ebay seller dadansonforfun (they added the e-blade holes for another $10)
ccm angel no-rise
15 degree asa

New parts ordered but not here yet:
jackal high speed hammer kit
jackal "savage" valve
jackal str8 line pump arm
eclipse q.e.v.'s
eclipse mini-gauge
eclipse eye kit (broke the old one removing it from the old body )
eclipse on/off and rail drop

So I put together what I have and mocked up the rest to see what it will look like. Here it is:

Looks like fun (fun can be interpreted as $$$$$$ if you want)

For cosmetic purposes I think I'd go with a different drop.

Wooops! I missed that when I flew past (ie glanced over but didnt read) the parts ordered list.

I dun read good

Thats a much nicer looking part there

Good choice.

[boggerman]

Thanks. I plan on making a pull pin from either delrin or aluminum when I get back to work next week, to further lighten the reciprocating mass.

EDIT: 590, you will have to post pics when you get it done.

You had all thouse part just laying around Damn it looking nice

[boggerman]

No, I had stock parts laying around to make a stock cocker.

[davidnj]

Keep updating this thread. My 2k3 stocker is totally stock currently, just used as a backup marker. But damn...Ive been looking for things to do with it as a 'fun' project and the whole e-blade thing might qualify.

Its pretty amazing what you can find cocker parts for if you are patient.

I built a Freeflow cocker for under $300....

very nice,
I have been looking around for a nice vert body to put brad into turning a featherlite, slider trigger, paint slinging beast.

ha he also has ordered a delrin backblock, delrin pullpin, and a worrblade bolt to lighten the reciprocating mass on his gun. And hes building a stock cocker with his spare parts.

Thread starter: Nice. Only thing I don't like is the wire detents, other than that, way nice.

[boggerman]

Thanks teuf, as for the wire detent, I thought I would try it, CCM and Freeflow both use them, so they can't be all bad. Plus I have a buttload of wire AGD detents left over to use if I ever need a replacement

590, get some bigger/better pics when you get a chance, it looks good and I would like to see some better shots of it. I'm diggin' the black on black look.

Here are some better shots of the body and backblock.
