This is exciting news!

I've been debating the return for a while I don't want to be the barrel bore guy though I'd rather focus on crazy builds and strange ideas. Not cake icing custom either

[superman]

I don't think any of us want to be that guy. lol
Looking forward to seeing what you are working on.

PM sent

[Swedgin!!]

Sweet deal! Will you be including boring barrels for freak inserts??

[Swedgin!!]

Well If you’re going to do a limited barrel service put me on the list 👍🏼

[bouford]

i have some phantom barrels i want to freak so add me to the list too

[Ecapnation]

Not interested in doing phantom barrels... Entirely different set up required.

[DieManInTheRough]

Any chance of a Pew-Dw body?

[Ecapnation]

Unfortunately no. Only affordable SLS print houses aren't trustworthy..

[sonixr7]

Pump Mag rail and body milling?

[Ecapnation]

I am not a mag guy...

[FredMnkyDad10]

Look forward to what you have brewing

[Ecapnation]

Still got it!

15 minutes on the work lathe. Manual machining I may add

[FredMnkyDad10]

What is its. Cram and jam?

[Ecapnation]

Spacey loudener

[Ecapnation]

Finally wrap my head around what I want to do for a pump that I'm building myself...

When you literally have all the software, tools and know how to make whatever you want but don't like the way modern milling patterns look you end up going old school.

Well kinda....

There is a lot to take in and yes a lot of things that were intentionally messed up looking oh yeah this is really going to be machined. Still debating if I want to do something different for the left side or keep going with the classic STo look. I'm honestly not opposed to something asymmetrical so I might follow suit and do something like the xsv egos and Chuck one of my logos on the left side of the body.

Cockers have entered their post ironic phase.

[Impactfour]

The longer I look the better it gets. What's your plan for the anno? Something that looks like a shitty spray paint job would be an awesome touch

[Ecapnation]

It's a lot to take in... The more you look at it the more "wrong" things you see.

It's a long CNC program even

[$L!mBo]

😂

diggin this

some intrusive thoughts:

-no feedneck hole

-like, 8 detents (only one is real)

-15° to the side asa

-non functional select fire switch

-magic box

[Ecapnation]

It's going pump so I've been contemplating making it have an ominous blinking light somewhere

[$L!mBo]

lmao that's perfect!
carve out a spot for 2x AAAs

[Socalpumpballer]

We put a flashing LED in a SS-25 with intimidator grips back in the day and called it a ramping pump. It gave all of pbnation and MCB a rage filled brain aneurysm when we showed it cycling in full auto. Really it was just a squeegee shoved down the barrel so that the blowback would cycle the auto trigger

[Pewpewpew]

Half/midblock that POS!

[Reflex0283]

mill it for eyes and put an eye ribbon going down the side into the grip lol

edit: actually I'd just glue the ribbon right under the feedneck

[Drunkscriblerian]

It's going pump so I've been contemplating making it have an ominous blinking light somewhere

I like the way you think.

[Ecapnation]

Under a week turnaround.... Sometimes my projects grow wings!

[$L!mBo]

who did your anno?

[Ecapnation]

Nobody yet, that's still raw
