What did you get in the mail today?

[Cyberpyr8]

Got my traded LV1 (traded for a Geo 3.5). Very happy with the trade.

[Hobbes]

Looks super clean!

[DocsMachine]

One by mail, one by rigging company

Ooh! A See & Seen! Thems always fun!

Bridgeport vari-drive with a column riser, probably an older EZ-Trak control? Chagonnadowiddit?

Doc.

[ZaDeer]

Absolutely no idea, shot you a PM!

[Garyfu.70]

Got a Rescue Mag, with a couple of equally sad Thundercats for good measure:

As bad as that Mag looks, before i took the hoses and valve out, I aired it up first, just to see....and after an initial burst of air from God knows where, it pressurized and shot. Then I took it apart, amazed that it cycled in that condition.

[GanonsGrin]

Sent you a pm with photos of the project I’m trying to recreate!

[Garyfu.70]

Already ordered a new body, but thanks for the offer, Superman.
I'm struggling removing the grip frame bolt though.

[Brokeass_baller]

Spray some PB Blaster all around it, in the screw hole in the breech, crevice between the body and rail, etc, and let it sit for a few hours. It's probably just rusted.

[djeclypse]

Received this PsychoBalistics Lightning Sniper from Alexndl a few days ago and swapped on a few parts before I took pics. Oops. Can't wait to field it with it's big brother 2k RF which I rescued from SGW and got running again with a little help of some parts from Cunha. This community is awesome, although tends to feed the addiction lol.

[BrickHaus]

Got my lee enfield butt plate today!

Also got my intel i7 7700k cpu. Its the best thing my mobo will support. And it was finally 100 shipped.

[Chuck E Ducky]

That’s going to look great on the lever!

[DavionGuard]

Got a pair of broken/dead halos for walzmas. Made a working halo and a supply of spares. been awhile since i tore these things down. Tooless loaders are taken for granted now. Lol.

[lhamilton1807]

Nice! Yeah they’re a real pita after using a prophecy or any other modern loader. Good gear for the time tho!

[Brokeass_baller]

In retrospect, it's kinda weird that it took so long to develope tooless loaders. There's no reason the Revy couldn't have been molded with clips, or even a thumb screw system.

[cougar20th]

Just another jersey to play in.

[Cyberpyr8]

Got a stock Emek from Tinman74 in trade for the 05 Ego. Already have an Emach trigger in the mail for it. Still looking for a pops and barrel but I'll use some of my extra parts for this one to build it up. I also think I might paint this body and make it stand out a little. In addition, I bought a fully upgraded one that should ship out today. One for my oldest son (in FL) and one for my future son in law to use. I really love these the Emeks!

[Ecapnation]

Friday..... But it was a crazy weekend and honestly this might deserve its own thread.


A very weird.... Very custom.... Phantom based pump

[Brokeass_baller]

I want to see this thread.

[Impactfour]

I'm really curious to see the function of the back piece, I can't tell if it's to control chamber volume or change spring pressure.

[Ecapnation]

Talked about it in the separate post. It controls chamber volume

[Garyfu.70]

I'm a glutton for punishment.

Always wanted one of these, and here it is.
Surprisingly nice condition, and when i first aired it up, no leaks, but the bolt wasn't cycling. so of course i took it apart, cleaned out the old paint inside, and washed and lubed the bolt, and put it all back, and now it leaks. I must have broken the seal on that pesky gasket.
Does anyone know more about these? Is there another reason to leak besides that gasket?
Perhaps I need to take the reg apart.

Ok, took it apart again, took the on/off? out and lubed the oring, put it back together and it freaking sealed and cycled, no leaks

[DocsMachine]

Those things are old enough that if someone hasn't already recently rebuilt it, several of the old O-rings are probably rotting. I would very much recommend servicing the reg- at the very least inspect and lube, and if the O-rings are heading south, swap 'em. I have reg seals and the rectangular gasket for the trigger valve, if you need 'em.
Doc.

[Garyfu.70]

Thanks, Doc, I'll be in touch
So far it's held air and cycled. But that trigger.....starts in one time zone and ends in another.
Neat marker though.

[ChuckLove]

I sold a couple guns recently and picked up another Insight. The combination of dust and gloss ano is awesome on this example!

[ChuckLove]

Cyberpyr8 Thanks! I really liked that one you had as well. I just placed an order with The O-ring Store for urethane o-rings for the shut-off and back of the ram. That always makes these a bit more reliable.

[forumreader]

Using a u-cup seal in the shutoff is the real secret sauce for reliability on these things. You install it so the u opening is facing the front of the gun. It takes away pretty much all first shot drop and other drop off problems and they last a super long time. Urethane is still a great option for the shredding tail orings (which will still shred, just more slowly!). The u cup rings can be had from the oring store as well:

[ChuckLove]

forumreader I'm going to order both u-cup and X-Ring 010's and test out both.

[DiamondDave]

Did not come today but it all came via mail. Most recently new macro and fittings. The cp on/off. The 98 slab side cocker came earlier in the month thanks to ~kaos~.

[~kaos~]

L@@kin' good D....

[Chuck E Ducky]

Got some really cool CCM bits to break up my Dust black S6, and some extended studs for for my mag build to install CCM fittings a lil cleaner.

[latches109]

go hurt some feelings

[Chuck E Ducky]

So fitting I love it

[nerdcore]

Yesterday: silver EM1 frame (to replace a different one that arrived with a broken on/off switch).

Today: purple/lime Flex strap. I don't know the pattern/design name.

[BrickHaus]

Lets see this switch. Its probably an easy fix.

[nerdcore]

I think it's easy to fix, too, but the store chose to send me a whole new frame assembly, so not complaining. The little plastic housing of the switch itself broke. I don't even need it, I have the stock frame w/ guts + the silver replacement frame w/ guts + initial silver frame w/ mostly intact guts.

[zinger565]

It's here! My goodness it's here! rawbutter did some amazing work to build this pneumag.
