New Toy

The dm frame is perfect for the 03 or older Vikes since the snatch end of the frame is almost flush with the vike's back. On the 04 vikes, the snatch end would stick out since 04's are slightly shorter in length, this can be seen on cockerspaniel's similar dm frame mod on a 04 vike(found on the AKA sub forum on PBN). The trigger on that frame looks like a winner to boot.

Great idea... my stock 04 Excal is begging for a mod.

Steelrat, while that custom Vike is a great find... i still have fond memories of your white streamline Excal.

cheers

Let me interupt here with a price check:


'04 Viking came with the bag, extra parts, extra Pandora board (has M-5 installed), PC cables. I already bought it just wanted to check what I paid in comparison.

Nice DC Viking. Solid $800. What you paid and the market value are probably a little different. And I am counting both boards.
I'm trying to remember if thats the one Shockergeek was selling. A guy that was almost local to me sold it to him.
Though some of the aftermarket Vikings have dipped down to the $700s for straight cash. Trade value would be better. There are still guys getting DM6 offers on Highlander milled Vikings.

But yeah, I actually like the stock AKA frames on my markers.

Nice, at the field this weekend a guy had a viking with a shocker TonTon frame attached. This is making me think about trying some frame transplants in the near future.

Also, how well did the AKA interenals fit in there? Was much milling necessary.

Not much actually goes in the frame. Only the battery and the microswtich. The board is mounted in the tray above the frame.

If I scrounge up enough cash, I may just have to consider a frame transplant.

plus, frames are redily available now from dm's, since everyone is going to the UL frame.

Yeah, a Vike is a real easy one to put a new frame on. I did have to cut out the board mount Et. Al. inside the frame for the battery and connector to fit.

All the machine work is very straightforward.

I know what you mean about the cheap frames, I have two more setting here waiting for the perfect project to come along.

Yep, I bought it from Shockergeek and it was at the low end then :)

Wish I could have sold you the one I had in Hawaii... Pretty much identical to what you said, but the whole body was Rhino Lined (inside and out) in flat black instead of painted.

That was actually another choice - rhino lining ALL of it.

It's all about FMV... I got $1000 for my 03 DC less than 3 months ago. I waited and didn't rush my sale.. Someone realized how nice it was and offered me what I would take to part with it. I feel lucky!
