      I think it looks kind of cool. Different but cool.

        It looks sweet but how will you keep it from oxidizing?

          I'll have to polish it. Even windex will keep it clean.

          I put a stainless steel barrel and it looks much better.

              That looks killer.

              Got a few questions regarding the copper.

              If I get that done to my minimag body are there any tolerance issues? will the copper make the minimag body too big to fit the retro valve back in and work properly?

              How do they copper it, just dunk it in copper and do you they put one coat or two?

              Hows the copper's strength against Paintball chemicals?

              Polishing is not an issue I have a sheridan Piranha .68 pump made of brass, makes you feel good when you shine it up and it gleams

              thanks in advance

                copper is attached similar to how they do silver, via a bath with electrolosis

                        Lol, i can just see it. "The minimag windows on the front of my body fell off today because the rust is getting so bad." and "Watch out when you hold it, unless you first sign a waiver and have had your tetnis shot"

                        Really looks nice tho. Finally a metal that sounds good to coat parts with. Gold is too raunchy, silver is for ***s, and bronze, who bronzes stuff anymore?

                          Definately extra lube. I keep two bottles at all times. Can't leave home w/o your lubricant.

                              Oxidation = rusting of a metal.
