AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.

Oh and can't forget the blue macro to go along with it
the rail started as a classic automag rail. i decided to put it on a bit of a diet.
then there's the nanococker:
it started out as a plain jane pgp
here it is now, after a year.
here's a closeup of my shoddy workmanship inside the gripframe.
i decided to build brackets to hold the 3 way in place rather than use set screws. i'm very happy with my decision.
this marker took a year to complete becasue it sat on a shelf in pieces for a good portion of that year. i had finished most of the interior work and was soldering the feedneck and ram nut on the body when the two body tubes shifted out of alignment. this happened because i was an idiot and didn't calmp them together. i then sat them on a shelf and pondered m next move... for several months. i fanally got back out in the shop and decided to just desolder everything, break it all down to individual tubes. after that, the thing went together like a dream, i had it all soldered up within 20 minutes. now i just have to get the trigger tuned. (anyone who is selling the small pneumatic tubing, please get in touch with me. thanks)
Here are some old and one new marker that I call my own. Not a lot of flash, but my 68Automag has been shooting since the early 90's and seen a lot of action.
Clockwise from upper-left: 1992 68automag with a taso pro SS barrel, foamie-less bolt (those used to be noteworthy), custom fore-grip, and benchmark frame; 2005 EMag (stock); CCI Phantom I won at a tournament in the 90's and re-rigged for stock class play; Sheridan PGP with custom grips, quick change knurl, extended feed neck, and a Cooper-T speed-demon bolt.
3 out of 4 of these markers are over 13 years old and are not only servicable classics, I still play with them. These probably represent some of the best markers ever made (IMHO). How many ION's or even Angels will survive 10+ years of play?
Over the years, my only regret is that I didn't keep ahold of my 1980's polished brass Sheridan Pirhana Long Barrel.
