What Are Your Current Paintball Projects

[Ecapnation]

The scrapening.....

I'm exiting the BST game and anything deemed "not worth keeping for a potential booth in the future" is going to the scrap yard.

It's been a long run but I'm done buying stores out and the world just doesn't need some of the stuff I have left that I don't want.

Going through my autococker parts this morning, I realize that I have almost everything to get the old Sonic back on the field. It is unfortunately missing a few of the original components but I'm it sure it'll be a hoot to play with!

[Cdn_Cuda]

That’s a nice find!

[ChuckLove]

Cdn_Cuda Thanks! I'm pretty excited to get it back up and shooting.

[JeepDVLZ45]

Gonna necro (not too bad) this thread, because I just started a project entirely based around a single “part”.

Found this 👇 in the parking lot as I walked back to my car after visiting a customer..



no idea what it is….but the threads looked familiar



I was right, and I can’t let it go to waste…

[Altec]

Ha! That’s cool. Wonder what it was for originally.

[JeepDVLZ45]

I have no idea! I was near my car when I walked out after having a meeting there. I kicked it and then picked it up to toss it in the garbage…and then got a good look at it….

[Cdn_Cuda]

Necro?! I’ve been faithfully updating my post as I finish projects. Wait, hasn’t anyone else being doing that?!

[JeepDVLZ45]

Got some dremel and file work done on my old OC body that had a catastrophic failure about a year ago….glad I saved it 😁



this one is gonna be fun…I hope it’s ready for HOTH on the 20th!!

[NONOBLITUS]

Ohhhhhh I see what’s going on here.

[JeepDVLZ45]

Just needs some paint, and the I can add the site. Shooting FSRs a little hot right now (299-310) on 12g in 20* weather and a red spring…but I can tune it down.



Think I might get one of these grips for it.
I’m making a sing/sheath so I can carry it as a “back up”

edit: changed it a bit……much happier with this setup

[JeepDVLZ45]

AnarchicArctic I bounced back and forth on where to mill for the bolt handle (actually considered doing BOTH sides at one point)

I grew up shooting right handed bolt action rifles left handed, so working the bolt is easier for me with my right hand (and actually made a bit more sense)

Unfortunately, I don’t have enough control with my right hand to hand load a round after all. Turns out so really should have kept the one I picked up from you…live and learn). Opening this breech more made a huge difference for me though.

I’ve been practicing for HOTH in case I see any Mandalorians in the distance…

[superman]

I wonder if adding a 3d printed back board would help load the road with a thumb instead of trying to place it in the slot. Not sure if that made sense or not.

[JeepDVLZ45]

I think I know what you mean. It would give the round something to “sit against” while you pushed it in from the side making it quicker/easier to hand load. This was cut from a OC phantom who’s neck broke, so I couldn’t leave any extra meat on the opposite side.

I can actually load relatively quickly and consistently now. Just took a little bit of practice and I don’t have many misdeeds where the round rotates either.

One advantage of it being so open is if you do have a misfeed, there is enough space to get your fingers in there to correct it.

[Cdn_Cuda]

If you get a chance document those Blazer rebuilds! Be interesting to see the inner workings of a Palmer.

So.... I have this VM that needed a grip frame of some kind, since I stole the grip mount off of it to go on my KP... and I have an Impulse frame I got in a box of SP stuff... and I really like Chaos 's VMs with the Shocker frames....

So I started building this:



Impy frame, removed ASA and drilled out for extra volume, soon to have a VASA, and.... I converted it to vertical feed because I wanted to be different. 🙂

[cougar20th]

Umm I have a few going. My current obsession is finishing my dual carbon fiber minimag. After that a carbon fiber ultralight pumpmag.

[RichM]

About halfway through this one... inception pump kit, shockteck guts (rat valve, springs, phat hammer, cocking rod), ANS quick pull bolt, 45 frame from autococker parts. Will be adding a green cp barrel kit, green cp reg, green cp detent, blue cp rail with on/off asa. Looking forward to seeing how it shoots when it's all together.

[DavionGuard]

Currently working on a CCM series 5. Nearly done updating pneumatics to full INception kit. Then i'll try and decide what I want to do with the frame. I like it well enough, but They are also desireable enough that I could probably move it to help me pry one of those new FF UL frames off someone.

[Euphie]

This one needs an anno, and I am in the process of making a decent front grip for it. Related to this, I really need to find someone to make me an aluminum set of grips, and I want a brass or aluminum jewel sticker replacement and engrave something on it.

I don't intend to keep the warp on it, whenever PPS sends me that Blazer, it is going on there, but I figured I had the parts to cobble together a warp to play around with in the meantime. Right now, I have the Sci-fi board, an Angel A4 frame on it. I have been playing with the Evil Shocker "The Part" a bit too, but I haven't found if it can increase the limit before shootdown yet.

Edit: Let me add a photo of the frame, it actually adds enough room for your fingers to fit behind the regulator, which I really dig.

[JeeperCreeper]

How hard was it to dig up that warp feed setup?

[Euphie]

Not too hard, basically when I see warp related parts on eBay, I say why not lol I also have another warp feed, but that one is red and none of my other guns are. I especially like the vertical Spyder elbow as a hose attachment lol it is so janky but it works better than I would imagine. Eventually my Angel and Blazer are gonna be warp fed.

[JeeperCreeper]

I've never used one, and I've only seen one locally. The guy uses it faithfully on his RT mag. I've always wanted a Warp Feed Minimag personally.

[Pumpytrilly1]

Bought this from another member who was kind enough to sell it to me. Picked up some upgrades off ebay and other places. Still needs a lpr put on and a tune.

[Trbo323]

3 proto SLGs (to sell)

One rental emek for me, maybe to sell later but I'm going to give it a go

One agd 6 pak that needs some parts fabricated

[glasscitymitch_02]

Finished setting up my ideal open class Phantom. Bought it as a VSC off a member here, fixed the leaky parts, sold the clear parts, added my old J&J, a JOLO, a dummy 12 gram for a gas-thru foregrip, some braided line, new grips, and a 17ci HPA tank. No leaks, it shoots (not sure about the fps, but I’ll figure it out once I get to a field), and just feels right.

[Cunha]

I love that body and valve, dang.

[glaman5266]

My focus has shifted to getting stuff running so I can sell it. I have an opportunity to get corrective eye surgery, but I want to sell a few things off to at least help fund it. Feels like the right thing to do.

[glaman5266]

JeepDVLZ45 Oof, that sucks. I'm not allergic, but if they offer it to me I'm gonna ask for a double dose. I have a hefty tolerance for narcotics.

I just want to be able to play paintball without my glasses, not have to clean then all the damn time, or even rock a pair of aviators if I want to. It's something I've been wanting for a long time now. It's finally within reach!

[JeepDVLZ45]

I originally turned down the Valium (I have a very high threshold for pain..or I used to at least, I’ve become a bit of a baby lately). The surgeon talked me into it.

I learned a few things after mine I share with everyone who is getting wi eyes done. I had a bad experience, not “Final Destination” bad, but pretty f-ing close (mine was freakishly out of the ordinary) —- still more than with it though, I’d deal with it all over again if I had to. Part was the Valium, part was a language barrier between me and the surgeon.

1 - take the drops that numb your eyes as you need them…you will 100% have enough!! (I waited until I literally couldn’t physically open my eyes to take mine because I was afraid I’d run out). I could have used them every 45 mins and had some left over after 6 hours of taking them

2 - if you live more then an hour from where you’re getting your eyes done; get a hotel and sleep it off there. The first 3-6 hours after the surgery is gonna be rough.

3 - get a GOOD pair of DARK sunglasses before the surgery, you’re gonna be VERY light sensitive for a while. I used to double up my sunglasses (I taught at the time on a white board and had to wear both pairs so I could function.

4 - a stay away from TV/computer screens and your phone for a day after. It’ll strain the hell out of your eyes.

[JeepDVLZ45]

Oh. And REALLY rub your eyes 1 last time before the surgery…it’s gonna be a couple months before you get to do that again 😂
