[GanonsGrin]

It looks really grainy in that pic, but if you click the photo it should come up cleaner.

[coyote]

Azodin Kaos with Zero kit and CP reg. All steak, no sizzle.

[Fubarius]

I need a new picture of this since it's had a few mods since then.

Avenger II, VL Pro-Series E-grip. Mini-Morlock circuit board tuned to 15 bps, absolutely needs the fastest hopper you can cram on the thing. LPC from a VL Revelation. Lapco vertical adapter. Palmer's Stabilizer. 32 Degrees Magnaport valve. Freak barrel. VL Pro-Series delrin bolt.
Not pictured, Ego feedneck mod and a CP drop and ASA.

The "Meched" Kingman Rasta Spyder Flash
Snagged this 100% original Kingman Rasta Spyder Flash in a thrift store auction bidding war, but shown here with the eframe being swapped out with a mech frame to shoot faces at a mech STBB tourney.

-Armson red dot sight

[GanonsGrin]

Is the backside of your RVA concave? If so, and it isn’t labeled TASO, then it’s probably a DL. They copied the TASO version at one point

[scottieb]

No, not concave. It's smooth all across.

[Dusty Bottoms]

Scottie this is one of the nicest STBB's I've ever seen. Love the red/black combo!

[Myrkul]

I know I've shown this one off before, but it keeps changing. Here is it's current and likely final form.

VS Victor:

Anodizing stripped (Formerly blue) and hacksaw midblock
Evil Intimidator front block (heavily modified)
3D Printed Punisher Grips (Thank you OpusX!)
Intimidator Volumizer (Modified)
Shocktech Bolt
VS2 Valve Assembly
VS RS Striker
MR Style RVA
Lapco Feedneck
Warrior short style valve spring (1 1/16" medium/silver strength)
Warrior Trimmed Drive spring (3 1/2" medium/silver strength)
TASO Grip frame (freaking fast and comfy as hell)
PT Xtreame Trigger plate (its a little ghetto but it works fantastic)
Impulse Vertical Maxflow
10" Freak Kit

Shoots like a dream getting 291 FPS +-3 @ 250 PSI
Was on Case #9 before I had my first chop with it. Was only using a Rico...
This is my full time backup/loaner. It always works, and it always works EXTREAMLY well. It has a nice habit of landing the long ball it shouldn't, probably because the TASO points so damn well it feels like its hard to miss...

[Sharkytrav]

I’ll jump in with this classic body
Tornado valve
Lightning bolt
polished hammer
Bob Long single trigger frame
medium main spring light valve spring
MiteyMax
Black Ice hpr
All American barrel
ChoSanJuan slot blocker

Operating pressure at about 350 at last fiddling.

[Jordan]

I love that body style but never liked the rear cocking kits everyone likes to put on their blowbacks.

Nice build, though!

[Sharkytrav]

I got hooked on two looks for Spyders when I was in middle school (though I didn’t know it at the time because mags, cockers, angels). The eclipse look and the black widow look stuck with me through the next 25+ years.

[Tarsun2]

i adore the classic grey body spyders.

[Surf2Live]

What drop is on this one?

[Pumpytrilly1]

The drop forward came on a viewloader mechanical gun. The fit between the drop forward and asa is really sloppy though.

[Sharkytrav]

Lots of great entries! Lets give it through Sunday to get a few more.

[Ecapnation]

My take on the bullpup VM....

Modernized the trigger mechanism, butt stock, and frame.

[Sharkytrav]
