Good luck with playing pump.

Dont be suprized when you get all

well, just went to hope depot today and picked up some things to make a stock tube feeder. I had some copper tubing already laying around the garage, so all I needed was a 90 deg elbow, and a 3/4" coupling. It was easy. I found some hard plastic like the kind of plastic that some paintball parts come in. You know.....the stiff, yet flexible plastic that you get things like grips, etc in. I cut off a small 1" strip of it, rounded off the end put it in between the coupling and my cut tubing. Sandwiched it, slide the coupling over the plastic so that it protrudes into the inside of the tube. Bent it downward to make somewhat of a one way feeder, kinda like a ball gate, only cheaper. .

Heres pics of the stuff I already have. not that I will use the stock class loader much, I will prolly be using the ammo box that vonort is sending me, and my mini 9 oz tank. I do however have a 12g changer, and now I made myself the stock feedtube for about 50 cents.

I also picked up some spraypaint. Its a hammered finish gray. I plan on milling off the sight rail on my sl 68 and sanding it, and painting it. I will also put some clear coat on it. I also picked up a JJ 12" ceramic SL 68 barrel. Im ready to rock. Now all I need is the gun.

heres pics of my stuff, I wil post up some when the gun gets here, probably monday or tuesday. Im excited.

I actually lit some one up with an SL once...
I was shooting over a hill and to the left of a tree about 20 feet away with auto trigger. I herd my target call him self out then walk off. It was some guy with an impulse and a yellow jersey. He had about 5-6 marks on him. Thats pretty sad if you ask me.

Actually the fact that a guy shooting an imp got lit by a pump player makes the out all that much better. Also don't forget when that guy told the story, he had to admit that it was a pump player that took him out rather than someone with at better marker.

ok guys. Ive been doing some custom work too the SL. Here are a bunch of pics. Much thanks for vonort for giving me the 40 rd hopper. Great guy. I gave you some feedback too btw. :).

On another note, Ive gotten a jj ceramic for it, and it is a dust black finish. Looks really nice w/ the gun. Ive done alot to this gun over the past few days and here come the pics.

I will have a before and after pic once the finish has dried completely and the gun is ready for use again.

If you are interested in reading about what ive done to it, go to www.pbreview.com and go to the tippmann forum.

see if you can make it more efficient on 12gs. on phantoms you can lighten the hammer, and polish the insides. try to polish the insides please

[yakitori]

Finished with it. I will be letting the paint cure for over a week though, but its dry enough to handle and assemble.

Whatcha think?
