    What does Walzmas Mean to you - Single Shot Giveaway

    What does Walzmas mean to you – Single Shot Giveaway

    Alright…I’m a little late to the party this year…. let the flogging begin. The new house and work have kept me very busy and put me a bit behind in…well…everything.

    Anyway…. like last year, I am giving away a single shot PGP (freak bored) to the winner of the contest. Pictures of it, you ask? Well…. this is where we stand….

    Click image for larger version  Name:	IMG_8856.jpg Views:	1 Size:	3.99 MB ID:	480864

    That’s right, just a small pile of brass (I said I was behind)

    What I can tell you is, that it will be a freak bored single shot (FSR ready), and it will have a standard PGP bolt…. after that, who knows, we’ll see where the build takes me!


    How to Enter:
    • This giveaway is open to anyone on the forum.
    • Submit a post about “What Walzmas means to you” and earn 1 entry…that’s it!
    • If you are a paying member (green or red member) you earn an additional entry
    • If you are hosting a Walzmas Giveaway this year, you earn another entry (for clarity, if you are hosting 1 or 100, you only get a total of 1 additional entry for this one). Post a link to your goveaway as a comment to your entry (free plug for your entry AND makes my life easier)
    • Giving a bonus entry this year!! In your post, add a picture of your pet (dog, cat, horse, ferret, rock, llama, parrot, turtle, lizard etc) and you will gain an additional entry (one per person, regardless of the number of "pets" ). My YOUNGEST will then judge your entries and pick her favorite…. that person gains ANOTHER entry. This kid is brutally honest and holds high standards…you’ve all been warned.

    How to win:

    The contest closes at 11:59 PM on December 24th, Nora will choose the "best pet" on the 25th and we will be shooting for the winner on the 26th (weather permitting)
    • I will be “selecting” a winner the same way I did last year. Everyone will have their names put on an index card for each entry they have. The cards will be shuffled and then taped, face down on a large piece of cardboard. THEN my youngest daughter will shoot paintballs at the cardboard. As index cards are hit, they are eliminated (yes, it will be videoed again)…last member standing takes the PGP.

    Now….my “entry”
    Walzmas is a way for me to uphold the generosity that Walz showed my kids. Most of you know this story, so I will keep it short. A couple of years ago, I took my family to Disney for the first time. A few months previous to that, I had saved up some $ and sent Walz my first piece of brass for a custom-build

    Click image for larger version  Name:	IMG_7253.jpg Views:	1 Size:	32.0 KB ID:	480861

    Walz wrapped up my marker about a week before I took my family to Disney (something I never thought we could afford to do, but the stars aligned a bit for us that year). I asked Walz to wait a couple of weeks before sending the marker back so I could be home when it arrived. When I let him know why, his immediate response was that he didn’t want the money (that we agreed upon) and he wanted me to use it on the kids at Disney instead.

    So, a man who I never met, and only spoke to a small handful of times was more concerned that MY kids had a good time on vacation than the business transaction that we agreed upon.

    And…. because I am a pic whore…..this is me with my Walz (and packers) at Slims Spring game 2 years ago.

    Now....I would PREFER that the winner keeps this as a giveaway for next year as well -- but once it leaves my possession, it is no longer my call. I would like to thank shooter311 (last year's winner) for keeping lasy yeart's PGP alive for me!

    Progress of the single shot....

    Whelp….ever have one of those days?
    Click image for larger version  Name:	IMG_8870.gif Views:	105 Size:	1.89 MB ID:	481579

    got the breech portionstuck in the sleeve last night and in an effort to “fix” the broken I slightly buckled it at the breech itself….tried to fix that….

    let’s just say “I gotta start over”.


    OK, so I made some progress!

    Click image for larger version  Name:	IMG_8910.jpg Views:	44 Size:	4.83 MB ID:	484808

    I am going to be rotating the tip around so it slants upward v. down. I want the extra support for the barrel. I also have the tip-insert cut, I just need to fit it, cut the breach (will be left off-set) and then solder in the .22 case for the air transfer, put her guts back in with some fresh O-rings and we’re ready to rock! Should be able to wrap it all up next weekend!!




    little more progress after work today. Tip is done, transfer tube soldered in place and the tubes are soldered together….just have a couple small things to do (might make a road trip to JeeperCreeper and have a breech cut to speed things up)

    I might end up doing some force patina instead of a polish. The grip frame and the bolt are both place holders for now, and I need to find a cocking knob I likeZ

      Walzmas is a way to strengthen the bonds and friendships that the MCB community has. I have been on this website for about 20 years and the hive mind level of information that is here is astounding. Whether looking for parts or information about paintball guns the answers can more than likely be found here. Last summer I met a couple of gentleman from this site for a game I wasnt super sure about attending; proceeded to have an awesome day of paintball. I now consider both personal friends and that one outing has reignited my passion for playing. I am also behind a bit this year but hope to at least get one thing posted for a Walzmas as I have never done so before and would like to contribute.
      pic of our kitty in his lampshade because he won’t stop scratching open his cauliflower ear from fighting and because I need another entry for a FSR PGP. I’ve wanted to build something similar.

      I had a short conversation with Grassstains recently that showed me how important this forum is to many people, myself included... and Walzmas is, for me, a way to give back to this little community of weirdos and misfits as a way of saying thanks. (Not a "words" kind of guy but acts of service sure work for me. 🙂)

      And God turned to Gabriel and said: “I shall create a land called Canada of outstanding natural beauty, with majestic mountains soaring with eagles, sparkling lakes abundant with bass and trout, forests full of elk and moose, and rivers stocked with salmon. I shall make the land rich in oil so the inhabitants prosper and call them Canadians, and they shall be praised as the friendliest of all people.”

      “But Lord,” asked Gabriel, “Is this not too generous to these Canadians?”

      And God replied, “Just wait and see the neighbors I shall inflict upon them."

        Walzmas for me is about giving back to the MCB community. I don’t often post something up during Walzmas as a give away. For me I like to give stuff away in my own way. If its just to Help a friend in need, parts I have laying around for someone’s build, or just helping someone fix their marker. I like the pay it forward method it always comes back around and it feels good. I have made so many friends through just a connection of a hobby and it feels nice to give back. This year has been especially great, the games we have been organizing through MCB have been 2nd to none. I’m thankful for those I have met through here and those I will meet in the future. MCB is making Paintball Great Again one game at a time.

        I already have a beautiful Single shot pistol Creeper built me I just wanted to share my Walzmas story. Also I love any chance to show off my handsome puppy Axel.

            Thanks, it's my fanciest marker looks wise, needs a cp gas through and a decent on/off and I hope she will be ready, oh and a small bore barrel and hopefully these little tiny bb detents hold today's paint

            Wait didn't I buy this one from you nate

          To me walzmas is an annual celebration of the culture that makes MCB so unique and awesome. Just yesterday I had a team of MCB players help me get my new sniper running, and throughout the day they continued to offer myself and other players advice, parts and comradery.

          I'm hosting an unsuccessful walzmas this year, someone come get a free Tigershark, side saddle phantom valve and on/off valve: (please) https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/m...ek-in-december

          I've also attached a photo of my childhood dog. The poor thing went blind and mostly deaf by the time he was two. He still lives a long and happy life, and was a great example of finding joy in the little things. He enjoyed navigating our flower beds and gardens by smell, very slow and long walks through the woods, and cheese, boy did that dog love cheese. My favorite memory of him was when he found a donut hidden in the purse of a family friend who was on a strict diet at the time.

            I agree with OpusX. Not everyone can say they offered up a Walzmas gift! Your generosity is greatly appreciated!

            And I had a childhood pup who went both deaf and blind (my older brother’s dog…so she was there by the time
            I can remember her) her name was “Friend” and she was one of the best companions a boy could ask for! And, man, did she like cheese 😂🤣. Maybe it’s a poodle thing

            It’s awesome when anyone does Walzmas giveway and it’s greatly appreciated! Walzmas seems a little slower/smaller this year.

          What Walzmas means to you:
          The fist walzmas i participated, i got my first PPS (all in pieces in a bag). It has been passed around a few time, but never put back together. It is now my go-to PPS semi, nothing fancy, but a decent shooter 👍Since then, i do a custom build every years for every walzmas.

          Also do some giveaway to spread the love:
          Hello Y'all, I did a thing last year and it ended up condensed here: Tip'n'trick: Walzmas 2022 edition (https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/custom/custom-projects-custom-questions/diy-tech/354953-tip-n-trick-walzmas-2022-eddition) So, lets do it again! ​Add something, share your new found wonder, share your old dog treat ...

            Walzmas for me is a chance to give back and say thank you to this community. I’ve gotten a huge amount of help on here and want to be able sure I return the favour when I can, and to make sure MCB stays as weird and awesome.

            I have hosted a giveaway in which Nora has won…. Not that that should bias her choice at all…

            Anyways, here’s a link to my still open giveaway:
            Xemon’s comments about weaponizing fish inspired this Walzmas giveaway! Time to make you armed to the gills! Up for grabs is a Piranha USP pistol. It leaked, so I changed a bunch of o-rings and reassembled. Does it leak now? You’ll find out if you win it! (filedata/fetch?id=479707&d=1701309732) Rules: 1) Tell me a


            So I have the full 4 entries!

              Hmmmm well Walzmas is straight up fun, When I met Walz he was a super nice guy ,full of generosity and very outgoing to my then young son. So naturally his giveaways were legendary and promoted such a cool yearly event. I think this paintball community is top notch and I have met so many great guys through it. Giving something to someone is about as great as it gets. Making someone smile even better. So in a nut shell Walzmas means being a good human being with a giving nature to others. Cheers and I am lucky enough to have 2 single shots from you with JeeperCreeper so if I am picked then give my single shot to the second choice in the running

              Walzmas is a super fun time of year. It's great to see how generous people can be to complete strangers ( and I mean strange!) It also seems to be the time of year where this forum is most active. I obviously don't need this, but if I'm chosen, I'm giving this to Pump&Run, so as soon as he's healed up he can come try some single shot fun with us.

              Walzmas holds some special meaning for all of us. For me it is a great opportunity to have some "physical" interactions with people not met in-person by providing some neat little bits that only a group like us can enjoy, as gifts. It is a time that returns us to the fun, carefree, enjoyable nature of our sport. It reinforces bonds of community and builds the legends of the future.

              No updates at the moment…waiting on my new body and bolt from bacci. So, I’m WAY further behind then I expected…luckily my wife understands how important this is and is OK with my spending a night or two in the basement right before X-mas getting this done!

              For universal ease for everyone. I will be going Std freak and a pistol.
