After sucking down a Manhattan or two pondering the true meaning of Walzmas and how I could participate after all these years of observing the fun, inspiration struck, and I got to work finishing up a project I started about 6 months ago. It took a helluva lotta work over the long weekend, but I'm extremely proud of the result, and I made an extra kit to give away to some lucky lover of this iconic little pump gun!
How to enter and who can enter: Open to all reds greens and blues, anywhere in the world, but you need to qualify yourself by not only stating you own an SL-68 II but also telling your SL-68 story and what it might mean to you to get it out on the field again. bonus: Posting a pic of your sexy (or neglected) little chunk of cast aluminum from the glory days of Tippmann may help qualify you for an extra entry - it goes to best photo as picked by me and my two paintball loving kids. Be creative! Dig deep into the photo archives!
Winners will be picked at the very least by a drawing, at the very most by some creative but fair way for which inspiration has yet to strike!
Entries must be posted by Dec. 5th. winner announced on the 7th and shipped by the 9th assuming winner gets me their address by then so most anyone should have it by Christmas
What you get:
A modified by me brand new 14" deadly wind barrel kit for a the SL-68 II that accepts standard freak inserts and and a 3D printed feedneck adapter designed and printed by me, solving two of the biggest shortcomings of the SL and Fixing all the shortcomings of the DW kit. This kit has been fitted and tested on both of my 1st gen SL-68 II's. The adapter is the 13th iteration of my initial design and has held up very well while playing. It is printed in a semi flexible polypropylene - one of my new favorite filaments, once installed your SL it will feel just like the original but without the rollout blues.
A note on the feedneck: it stays in quite well with out having to mod anything on your body, but it was designed to work best by drilling and tapping a for 10-32 screw on the back of the feedneck. the choice is yours!
Edit for spitfire owners i see many spitfires posted below - I think in the hopes you would be entered? It does not look like the DW barrel kit would work with that pump configuration? without one to test i don't really know. if someone has info about this please let me know and I would consider opening it up to you.
For more on what i did and how i did it I will be posting soon in the "MCB reviews it" and the 3D printing sections
