Camo Splash "Golden Line"
I started off with only the barrel you see in the pictures in that splash camo pattern (should be Smart Parts Camo "Golden Line") in 1994 (has it been that long?). I never touched it again and left it on my Classic Mag for about 20 years.
Then I got hooked on Mags again in 2012 and I managed to get the John Sosta "Magic Box" from Bunny with most splash parts you see now (thanks Bunny!). The barrel on that package was a mismatch BUT I had my old barrel which matches perfectly
Once I got the marker quite a few months back I went ahead and disassembled the valve, put new o-rings in and some oil and - of course - got it up and running smoothly again...
I also did some cleaning of the "Magic Box" (which is essentially just a tube that was screwed onto the Valve to increase its volume - a pretty simple mod and I can't tell if it makes any difference but it just looks cool and it's a not as common as a "normal" Classic I suppose - so THAST'S actually what I like about it
.
What I also like is that I can manage a pretty decent ROF with that AR frame.
Now I finally have (almost) all parts to finalize this Golden Line Camo Splash project with AR Frame - what I got in the mail a few days back were the tourney lock, expansion chamber - which I won't use anyway - and the ASA
The lighting of the picture and the fact that there is very little of the brown color of the splash pattern on that side of the expansion chamber makes it look like a mismatch - but it most definitely matches...
The sightrail is kinda useless with that body/valve combo, but what the heck...
Now, if only I could find a matching stock and an AR-ready frame in that anno pattern...
The search continues...
