LK-13's polished my marker (PIC HEAVY!!!)

[chafnerjr]

*UPDATED PIC'S THROUGHOUT THESE PAGES*

Finally assembled and tuned my Pneumag that went to LK-13 for polishing. I had an old thread that had pic's of the various parts so i figured that I'd start a new one now that I have outdoor pic's of the marker fully functional. The pic's at the end really show how mirrored this really is.

MOTM submissions pic.


Can you see the cloud's in my grip panels below?


Had to really struggle to get a pic without reflections.


Business End.



Now some would say. "Chris, you don't play speedball! What the hell are you doing with a fully polished marker? Well at least it blends in a little


Check he grass in the grip panels... (haven't gotten full woods pic's yet)





... ok so maybe I DO like the stand out, but just a little. Thanks LK-13

P.S. If anyone want's to see the before pic's check out my entry at the bottom of pg 80. on the official mag pic's thread.

Haha! Nice end product dude! I remember seeing it at a scenario, and it sure has come a long way! I haven't really seen such a polished marker in a long time, most people just go with clear and leave it at that.

Thanks! I was trying to remember your tag! Your digi-camo mag was the first I've ever seen with the hopper mod for the warp feed!

Clear anno would have dulled it quite a bit (so the various anno-er's tell me). I was thinking about doing that last year but didn't have the cash! Besides, what would I do with all the free time I'd save by not having to baby the polished aluminum Just wait until I take a good digger on field

Wow. LK-13 definitely knows what he is doing. That looks great.

[SithSteve]

The chrome CP barrel I have would really finish the look! Hint, hint

lol... Nice job!

[crudeidol]

that is gorgeous!!

[Watcher]

WOW

Its a shame the X-valve couldn't get more silvery...

[Will Wood]

Shiny

[SSP-SheiK]

mmmmm.... shiny!


l like the reflective properties of that marker... you need an SS barrel for that thing

[chafnerjr]

need an SS barrel for that thing

SithSteve's already working on getting me to buy his chrome CP earlier in the post... so I guess that's probably the next thing that I get to buy What I really need is to figure out my LPR issues... the tickler that's in the frame in the pic's is just too wide for the panels to fit on flush so we're rebuilding a tickler from a karni that should be in the marker in the next few days. All last year I played without grip panels at all... heck I think it looks cool like this:

I know huh! When one markets pewter XValves... gunmetal isn't generally the color that I imagine! I'm thinking of maybe accenting it by trying to anno a few things to match the valve... like:
trigger, detents, fittings... who knows... Right now I can't wait to see how to see how this is recieved on field. I've already got my brother down my back for making a "pretty/shiny" mag (even though he shoots a tequila sunrise emag )

[ManInBlack]

Fingerprint. Nightmare.

But really freakin' cool.

[LK-13]

oh...uh...
just discovered that I forgot to stick the CP logo dots back on.
I saved them.
got them right here...
guess I can stick them back on when you send her back after that digger you were talking about.

Heh heh heh... I figured that they just didn't survive lol! I'm sure we'll figure them out somehow! Thanks again for all your hard work and for smuggling this across our hostile border. Hopefully the body cavity searches went well, don't you know by now not to light your van on fire at the border crossing!

Why not just switch out the LPR with one like a palmers or other sleek one.

Looks good BTW...

I bought a brand new AKA SCMIII just for this project and there was simply no way to fit it... so I then went to a brand new Palmers Microck, which also didn't fit (both too tall). Heck even a standard AC LPR was too tall to adjust when installed. Ultimately I think I will end up with a polished karni LPR, but I'd much prefer one that was adjustable via allen wrench rather than a knob style LPR. Even the bottom of the frame had to be milled out a little to fit the current tickler.

Now, if you happen to know of an LPR that's about the size of a tickler (more specifically the thinner, though slightly talled karni LPR) I would be quite in your debt sir!

P.S. I do hope you like what your rail ended up on! Remember I owe you!
