The Super DUPER Progressive Party and Atoning for my Sins

[Jsc5150]

Tl;dr: Post here if you want a crack at tuning/modding this thing, also post here if you’re interested in winning it for a deserving new player.

Alright fellas, I need to apologize. I was the last modder for this group project and failed to follow through.

No excuses, I kept it for too long into April convincing myself I had time to tinker the last rough edges out. By the time I was ready to pass it on, my mom’s health cratered and that absorbed my attention for the rest of the year.

I want to see this through to completion and atone for my f***ups, so I’m adding a revvy and $100 paint money for the final recipient.

Also I remember KMDPB volunteering to do the anno, and I’ll chip for the anno if needed since the economy has shittered over the last year since he offered.

My contributions are the sconi feedneck and Millenium frame.

As it stands now, the marker struggles to hit 270fps even with a red mainspring. I’m convinced it needs a bolt with orings to compensate for the body cut, or maybe have the body/valve orifice opened up.

Also, the Millenium frame needs a bit of tweaking to be reliable, probably needs a slightly different sear.


Post here if you want a crack at finishing this, post here if you know someone new to the sport who would appreciate it.

Also post here to admonish me for my sins, this thing has been a tell-tale heart thumping under my floorboards.

If we're keeping the shorter bolt on it, I can mill out the rear bit sticking up, I left it there to hold the bolt, but it might get more in the way than anything else now 😜

lol I actually am very fond of the little devilhorns

Bump

I like a challenge and I wouldnt mind taking a crack at it if no one more capable is able to. I do not, however, have a deserving new player. I would only be an intermediary before hopefully sending it to anodizing and then to its final stop, where ever that may be.

[Jsc5150]

Send me your addy and I’ll ship her off!

[lhamilton1807]

Glad you’re getting this going again. Looking forward to where it ends up

[StaticShocked]

Status update:

• Purchased a safety and modified it to work with the millennium frame.
• Purchased a empire barrel kit with 6 bore backs of different sizes to hopefully help with velocity issues. I have not gassed it up yet to test that theory.
• Installed a stop for the trigger to prevent overtravel of the trigger.
• Modified trigger sear catch to alleviate the issue of it not catching sometimes.
• Made a new rear cap pin from stainless and gave it a 5-40 set screw to lock it in.

I will post more updates when they happen.

Items still on the agenda are assembly and fitment, and velocity issues, test first with new barrel and then test adding some o-rings to the bolt as suggested as the next course of action.

A question for KMDPB, are you willing to still ano this marker and its barrels when its complete? If so, do you want to do the surface finishing or do you want me to glass bead blast it to give the new / modified surfaces a consistent finish?

I never gave you proper kudos for fixing the millenium frame issues!

Kudos!

[KMDPB]

Im still willing to anodize it. If someone would be willing to disassemble before hand and reassemble after ano that would make it much easier to fit into my schedule. I can handle the finishing work, but if you want to bead blast it that's fine by me

That would be great. Thank you. I can finish up, put a dust finish on everything, send just the parts for ano to you, get it back, assemble, ship to whomever next (either to recipient or to who is going to do the givaway/poll/decision making which would be best).

I will get in contact with you when the parts are ready.

Looks amazing, nice work

[Jsc5150]

A finer looking spyder Spyder sonix has never existed

[lhamilton1807]

Wow it’s gorgeous! Definitely didn’t have this end in mind when I started this off.

It really has taken a trip, hasn't it?

After the sweet anodizing done by KMDPB, it will be reassembled and then be sent back to you. It will complete the circle and finally be ready for whatever is intended to happen with it!

I will make up a post with updates after it has been reassembled. I just need to re-blackoxide the steel bits this week to remove the wear marks and give them a consistent finish before reassemblely (or maybe polish them, depends if they are stainless or not, gotta check).

[lhamilton1807]

Hmmm well the point of this whole thing (aside from crowdsourcing Spyder bits to make something cool out of a humble Sonix) was to give the package to someone deserving.

KMDPB didn’t you have someone in mind? If not we should find someone who needs this. Someone who gives to the community and would appreciate the wonky travels of this gun

[KMDPB]

I will let you decide who it goes to! Maybe make some sort of poll?

Just a thought… In a world where many rentals are Emeks… Maybe this isn’t quite right for a new player who will upgrade quickly?

Perhaps we send it around to MCBers at blowback events or other big games?

Just spitballing, please crucify me if I’m outta pocket.

[StaticShocked]

I was thinking along the same lines. Its fate is up to those who started it and not me, but just my 2 cents. But i agree that there are not many, if any, new players who like blow backs or mechanical markers. The uniqueness of this marker would be lost on most. At the field i frequent, the people that use and/or get giddy over spyders, mags, autocockers, 98 customs, prolites, etc. are 30+ years old and probably averaging 45. Just food for thought. I am sure this is not the situation everywhere.

[lhamilton1807]

I was actually thinking the same thing. This won’t be appreciated by newbies or beginners. It’s something that people with some nostalgia or memories from a bygone era would enjoy more.

I’ll think of how to nominate someone or pass it around. Just haven’t gotten to it yet

This has been such a cool project to watch develop, awesome stuff everyone!
