Not sure if I'll use a mostly complete Trracer or an old Nelspot. I'll consider my options today and update this with a plan! I want something I can use for First Strikes... Sounds like fun.

Bringing a Knife to a Gunfight… - mcarterbrown.com

https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/custom/jeepers-cheaper-build-off/668728-bringing-a-knife-to-a-gunfight

More of a sword than a knife I guess. I got on this a little late and knocked it out over last weekend and the last couple evenings. It is a cheap parts box spyder, an IR3 frame and some scrap aluminum. Battery is in the pommel, board in the frame, and under the panels on the “blade” is some of an Eframe holding the solenoid.

Started with a T4E Double barrel I picked up from KOB used. Pulled the stock barrels. Well guess what fits perfectly in place of the stock barrels yup those are freak bore inserts. I had a piece of carbon fiber tubing I purchased for a feed tube but actually bored out to a .681 so it didn’t work for a phantom SC feed tube so

Zombie Lachesis - mcarterbrown.com

I have felt for quite some time now that the Indian Creek Designs Bushmaster 2000 is the single most under valued marker that has ever graced the game. Yes they are old, and tired, and beat. They originally were released in the fall of 98, so that's to be expected on a 25 + year old marker, but they almost universally clean up

russc's Mag-fed 68 Special - mcarterbrown.com

https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/custom/jeepers-cheaper-build-off/647994-russc-s-mag-fed-68-special

Years ago I bought a literal crate of 68 specials. The Canadian dollar was at par, and I was buying stuff off eBay like crazy. In hindsight i should have bought all the $100 Autocockers instead, and now I have to do something with these Tippmanns. I figure with a 3D printer, it shouldn't be too hard to whip up a mag fed front

Semiauto Sheridan pistol

Lever, but not the way you think 😜 - mcarterbrown.com

https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/custom/jeepers-cheaper-build-off/645942-lever-but-not-the-way-you-think-%F0%9F%98%9C

Hello Y'all, guess this is my entry? So to start, i will be using my Walmaz price, generously provided by NONOBLITUS : The plan: - metal slider - RVA/adjustable spring tension - make it lever, but not how you think 😜 - replace barrel (exposed and brass?) - improve feed, maybe put some springs in there too? - speed wheel

never to be completed - mcarterbrown.com

I really wanted to join in this challenge but I simply do not have the time. Spent 7 hours to get this far, needs at least another 15-20 hours to finish it. Posting, just to show that I tried

Mechanical “Bolt” Action Evil Omen - mcarterbrown.com

https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/custom/jeepers-cheaper-build-off/666837-mechanical-%E2%80%9Cbolt%E2%80%9D-action-evil-omen

With coaching season winding down, got a hankering for some tinkering. Starting point is an Evil Omen. Which I’m pretty sure cost less than $100 USD. The only legit paintball parts I used were a Hybrid reg and macro line, both out of the tool box. Rest of the parts were scavenged/repurposed. Used a dremel to cut some metal, a

The NAKDIII - Open Bolt Azodin KD3 Pump - mcarterbrown.com

https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/custom/jeepers-cheaper-build-off/652503-the-nakdiii-open-bolt-azodin-kd3-pump

Nothing too fancy or that hasn't been done before. I'm pushing the limit on the starting price for the marker. Bought it in July, 2024 new on ebay for $150. Machined the front of the body, bored the upper tube, and ran the barrel threads deeper to eliminate the issue of the balls shooting into the barrel rather than the bolt

Hutbrew’s Homebrewed bolt action 2k+ - mcarterbrown.com

https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/custom/jeepers-cheaper-build-off/659978-hutbrew%E2%80%99s-homebrewed-bolt-action-2k

So I’m horrible about documenting the process… but here we are about 90% done- waiting on one part from Inception Designs, but I present Hutbrew’s bolt-action 2k sniper: When I get this all up and shooting, I’ll post a breakdown of the pieces, bips and bops going on inside. Got an absolutely hacked up 2k body from Alexndl

COB's Gryphon recycled - mcarterbrown.com

https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/custom/jeepers-cheaper-build-off/651411-cob-s-gryphon-recycled

So, most members know that I have waaaay too many markers in the hoard. Additionally, I have waaay too many cheap mechanical markers that I have been rebuilding and trying to put back into circulation. Add to that a stockpile of parts, rifle stocks, rifle accessories and a scoop of crazy, and anything is possible. When this

**XEMON** · 2025-03-16T19:11:45

I need to take final pic and video, but I won't be able to get to it until the end of the week 👍

**Alexndl** · 2025-03-16T21:01:14

I nominate Jordan's semi auto sheridan pistol

Look like a Palmer's Squall and was made with only a drill press and a Dremel. Very clean work as always.

**markdem** · 2025-03-16T21:20:38

We all know that sword is gonna win. And rightly so.

**Chuck E Ducky** · 2025-03-16T21:46:04

Yeah do we even need to vote. Excalibur wins!

**JeeperCreeper** · 2025-03-16T22:08:49

Well I would like to see 2nd and 3rd as well anyway. I have sticker packs for them.

**markdem** · 2025-03-16T22:51:41

Can i nominate the nelson-based-autococking-revolver for creativity? Even though im not sure if it was ever actually finished?

**Chuck E Ducky** · 2025-03-16T23:19:25

I nominate Marks bolt action spider. That thing is cool!

**Drunkscriblerian** · 2025-03-17T00:33:22

Gonna nominate Myrkul 's build. He put a lot of time and technical expertise into it, and really got deep into the weeds explaining what he did and why so others might follow in his footsteps. Plus his deep and abiding love for the platform really showed. I think that was the build thread I enjoyed following the most. For those reasons he gets my vote.

XEMON for the wacky lever!
