my friend has your rainmaker/angel and is wondering what all is in it? the gun is amazing i shoot it a few times wow!

anyways its back up for sale the worlds trickest rainmaker!

Wow, that thing's back in the news, eh?

Well, the grip frame is a Benchmark Automag 2-finger frame that I modified to take a custom-made trigger and a microswitch, laid out pretty much just like an Angel. The controller is a KM2 Gladiator, which was one of the first replacement boards for the Bushmasters and Defiants, and the first new board for both that had eyes. KM2 should still have programming instructions on their site, http://www.exarin.com
If not, e-mail me and I'll see if I can dig up a copy.

The one-piece lower rail/ASA/grip adapter, the back valve body block, the bolt, the solenoid mount, the solenoid manifold, the drop-forward and I think the valve are all custom made for that gun. The LPR is a close-mounted MicroRock (note no visible pipe nipple) and the solenoid is a Shocker's Parker unit.

The ball detent is Angel LED/LCD, the reg is a match-annoed Air America Vigilante, as I recall with the low-pressure spring, and the grips are very carefully-fitted SP Wood grips, that I took a lot of time to closely match to the frame.

The three main body parts- bolt door, and upper and lower body halves- are original, though modified. The Z-link is unmodded stock (though I think I nickel plated it) and the ram and bolt carrier are stock. The hammer is heavily modified stock, using the stock sear but with a heavy stainless steel core inserted for durability. The QEVs are stock Rainmaker parts, but again, I nickel plated them. Other than a few screws and maybe the hammer spring, that's all that's left of the original gun.

The weird thing about that gun is that it's impossible to take a picture of it's true color. I tried under a dozen kinds of light, with three different kinds of film, plus two different digital cameras. The purple always appears navy blue. It's a ghost gun.

All the photos I have that have been posted, I've had to 'correct' the color in Photoshop.

Doc.

Its Mine!!!!!

Hey doc, im the one who has the rainmaker! Its SO CRAZY! I know what yo mean about the color thing to! I Emailed you a few weeks ago, never got anythign back, oh well. Im sending you a PM Soon with more questions, Thanks for making a sweet gun!

[NewbieMagMan10988]

Wait, you dont have a PM button, um, then PLEASE PM me or Email me, or heck, post here if you want, but i want to know what kind of trigger it uses and what threads the feedneck has(if its threaded). Also, That link was good, but the little picture showing the dip switch stuff didnt work, so if you could Email/pm/post that it would be great. Also, can i drop in one of the delrin bolts without hurting anything? And one last thing, are there any helpfull hints to tuning this? There is only one problem i have with this gun, and its hopper related( i think), if i shoot a good string, it will skip a shot, then shoot two balls the next shot, i think its because im outshooting the "hard wired" revvy. I hate useing a revvy, I need more speed! Can a halo or egg be wired in a way like the revvy is now? I lied, the real last thing i have to ask you is if you have a guide to takingthis thing all the way apart. I was going to try, but thought better of it. PLease contact me ASAP, i would really areciate it!
Thanks a ton, Mike
