What did you get in the mail today?

[procarbie]

Only the mags actually came in the mail today, but I thought I’d post a shot of the whole dealio

Test thread to come! Both for the BT SA-17 and the Empire Trracer.

[Impactfour]

So uhh, what's going on here?

[procarbie]

The BT line of markers have a FSR-shaped breech, as they were originally designed to accept their own Sten-type versions of FSR mags—a project that was sadly scrapped before it ever came to fruition. This is a 3D printed mag adapter that a nice gentleman in Sweden designed and sold to me, which in theory should allow the marker to accept Valken SMG mags and shoot FSR repeatedly. I suspect that the FSR magwells will work better on my Empire Trracer than on my SA-17, and that some modifications to either the market or the magwells or both will be necessary, but we’ll see! Mostly just waiting on some 12 grams to arrive for testing.

Ripper Emek thanks to Hellion360 and a beautiful Dye stainless barrel.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Those ripper bodies are cool

[Jordan]

Lightweight body - check. Ultra heavy huge bore barrel - check. Yup, it's an MCB post.

A Carbon OPR mask and parts for my Spire IR2

[RAZRBAKK]

Found a neat looking "mini-humbucker" on eBay for $16 CAD.

Worst case it's only $16, best case I get a decent sounding bucker sound out of my strat for $16.

[RAZRBAKK]

Alexndl Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAr-FK-uokw

[Alexndl]

Good sound for $16
Is it a lower output compare to your bridge and neck?

[RAZRBAKK]

Alexndl it is higher output as it's a humbucker, I actually disconnected the middle and neck pickups as I never use them. It's bright sounding for sure. I'm gonna dig a little deeper and do some waveform analysis. I'll let you know.

[Fossilhead]

Bought from Handy great guy to deal with!

[cougar20th]

Take good care of them.

[scottieb]

Yes sir!

They will get a full rebuild and tune, and though I probably won't be playing them in a game, they will see some action each year.

Brass K-Frame for my side saddle pug!!! I love the balance of these brass frames so much more than the aluminum variety.

[Chuck E Ducky]

That looks like a blast! You see ICD is doing another run! So excited I’m going to pick up a few extras.

I definitely prefer the add weight of the brass K frame. The Kframe moves your hand position back so all the weight goes forward especially on a heavy brass piece with the aluminum. But the added weight of the brass K frame helps balance it all out nicely.

[Loophole]

It shoots great! .685 bore size with three deep wedgits. Pretty much holds all the paint I've thrown at her so far!

That's awesome. I love these ICD lever changers, glad they are still churning them out!

[Chuck E Ducky]

New WTF Wrist Rig for single shot.

[The Great Equalizer]

I had no idea such a thing existed and had to look it up

[Chuck E Ducky]

Me to one of the Ragnastock guys we’re talking about it and I really like my WTF SC Gauntlet so I grabbed o e to try. It’s a lil larger then I thought it would be but seems super functional.

[Loophole]

Interesting! Let us know how they work! I may have to snag one.

Rickfactor2 sent me my first Gamma Core. She’s gorgeous! Electro + mech frames, aluminum feed neck. Just in time, too. I have a game on Tuesday!

One very manic Kijiji transaction later..

Brass Eagle Nightmare Long Barrel. My first stock class gun was a Sheridan P68-SC and I always wanted the cleaner looking Nightmare, which is why I have an Apoc4lypse feed on my Phantom. I got lucky with this one on eBay.

Issues
- CO2 Plug is missing
- Front tube plug is missing
- Tube is blocked by wadded up rags so the steel elbow will feed correctly
- Crosman Mod 1399 stock grip is cracked (the grips shown on it I got in a separate eBay auction).
- Grip frame is a little bent, but it seems fine with the new grip panels on it.

I'm planning to return it to stock. Any advice on finding parts would be welcome. Otherwise I'll eventually figure out a 3D printer and a machine shop.

[Hector the Collector]

Bacci has 2 co2 plugs listed on his website.

[The Great Equalizer]

OpusX - I may be interested. My preferred playing style is stock feed, but constant air.

Chuck E Ducky - Its always been my favorite looking, but I haven't heard create things about them mechanically. We'll see. Good news is I've heard rollouts aren't an issue because the barrels are so irregular...

Walker - Thanks! Once I crack it open I'll see if there are any compatible crosman internals.

[The Great Equalizer]

Hector the Collector Thank you! I'd checked last Friday and I probably wouldn't have checked again for months.

[Walker]

[lhamilton1807]

Please tell me there will be a dedicated thread for this

[Walker]

Mini Lathe and Mill, and initial tooling. Their version of the SIEG X2D Mini Mill, and the SIEG C3 Mini Lathe.......
Not necessarily what I wanted, but what I could afford.

I will start a separate thread as I un-crate and set them up.

[XEMON]

Congrats, this will make for a great mini shop 👍

I'm no machinist (far far from it), but feel free to reach out if you have questions.

[Jordan]

Got my JG order in... found a used Bluestreak stock buried in their site and snagged it, along with some internals.

New valve, chamber spacers, jam nuts, some hammers (single lobe KP hammers not in the pic), and a 12gram seal.

I'm planning on refinishing the stock and will likely mount my KP back in a stock - I never had a full stock for it, it came pirated from eBay. We'll see.

[The Great Equalizer]

What is "JG"?

[Jordan]

The Great Equalizer - JG Airguns. They sell airgun parts, including Sheridan stuff. Takes a bit of work to figure out what crosses over to paintball but they have a lot of NOS parts.

[The Great Equalizer]

Thank you! Walker just sent me a bunch of helpful links to them for my Nightmare rebuild, I just wasn't making the connection.

[zinger565]

Body and frame came back from being anodized! Quick mock up:

[scottieb]

That's my favorite FF body right there.

[zinger565]

Me too. I remember seeing them all the time when I was younger and really liked the look. I'm glad I was able to "save" this one, will make a nice twin to the Purple acid wash I picked up from Hellion
