What did you get in the mail today?

Oh yeah the start of something cool!

[Cal440]

Thanks

Thanks guys! Cal440 I've been collecting parts for a few months now, I built an 11/16" valve-compatible brass body that uses mostly off the shelf Cocker parts (one part was modified to fit). I bought some tubing that got machined for Cocker threads, so it takes conventional barrels too.

Originally I wanted to build something like a T2 but I just prefer the look of a mid-block over a half or full.

Gotta do a bunch more sanding/finishing, then I'll likely beadblast the body and let it patina or nickel the body... undecided.

Great as usual man

[Cal440]

Looks great Jordan, could you give a little run down of what you got going on there?

[Jordan]

Got my Docfire order in (sled and detent) so I could finish up assembly of my Super Secret Pump Build, and my parts from netsurferdude2 (bolt link) that I needed for my JeeperCreeper Cheaper Build.

I didn't feel like doing much on my JCCB so I worked on my SSPB instead yesterday... mostly done, just needs some cleanup still.

Not sure I have 3 different styles I have one that looks like the curved one but it straight no curved section.

I'm wondering the gen. version (RTR Boomerang) you have and the style, I have ...are different..🤔

[homerj]

I definitely agree with you there. I think black is the only solid color they made. Some of the other colorways look ok (silver, black with silver accents, black with red accents), some are just plain ugly. Of course the “appendage” dangling off the front doesn't help. I feel it’s less noticeable on the solid black.

[Ecapnation]

From a store standpoint they weren't visually appealing... This one is one of the more simple colorways if they kept it to that they would of sold better

[Cal440]

Would you have a link to these? Thanks

[Chuck E Ducky]

eBay got a killer buy it now on them.

I've got a boomerang I was gonna use on my duckslide build that I've been meaning to put up for sale. If you'd like BrickHaus I'll message you before I put it up and you can have dibs

to echo Lhamilton cyclones are fine.. I ran one for a long time. They are fun to run with a tac cap. There are a bunch of hopper options otherwise. I just feel they run much more efficiently on co2 which I cant really get anymore. and they are wide as all get out, so if you sight down the right of your marker they will annoy you. if you preload the little spring plunger before the game they keep spring tension on the next ball. I think a lot of people never manually advance the ball so the paddles just rest short of that.

For me though, I want to run an rt on my a5 as the trigger kickback is a novel expierence you only get with response triggers or mags. on hpa, its a lot more work to get both the cyclone and RT to work effectively in my expierence. Even with fat hoses it may not work unless properly set up. It's possible with enough input pressure, but I just wanted to elimenate a moving part, and it allows me to toss one of the many fast hoppers I have onto it.

The line of sight down the side is a huge bonus I wasnt even expecting.

boomerangs back in stock? I really think I'd dig one on my phantom, but they have been out of stock since I've decided this... edit: nope still out.

I didnt get a nova duck either. I need a full donor phantom lol
