What did you get in the mail today?

[Impactfour]

My wife got me this on Monday for my birthday, unfortunately my basement flooded that day and a tree took our power out. Today I got around to building it and moving some of my junk onto it only to realize I needed to clear a path to get it to it's final spot. I'm looking forward to being able to finish up some of my projects at home rather than at my works land site that I rarely get to visit anymore.

After Xmas I'm hoping to snag a hand drill, a cheap table vice and probably a series of other tools I don't need.

[Impactfour]

WORR13 haha no kidding. I'm starting basic with just what I need to finish my spump project. After that I've got plans for my Tigershark that might require a bit more unless I use my works shop.

[Psycho91]

I need something like this in my life lol, markers and gear is just thrown everywhere

[Impactfour]

Those storage bins you can see in the top right are also just paintball storage/organization... I'm lucky to have married an enabler of my hobbies

[ChuckLove]

I received this CCM S6.5 body from an eBay seller. Added my Sidewinder, frame, ASA and EZ Handle. The pump arm is on order from CCM and Chuck E Ducky is hooking me up with a main guide rod.

[scottieb]

This is not paintball related but they arrived today. These things helped tremendously.

[Myrkul]

Man, I would drop that house so fast. If it's black mold you can't really fix or midigate it, and it'll just wreck your health constantly. That sounds absolutely miserable to live with.

[scottieb]

That was the first thing I considered, mold. We've had the ducts cleaned. I've inspected them myself with a camera as well. There is no evidence of black mold.

[Myrkul]

It doesn't have to be in the ducts. Could be in the attic if there was a roof leak, or in the basement/crawl space if there was a foundation leak, or inside the walls/subfloor if the 100+ year old pipes have started to fail. I've seen it in drywall before, and one time it was actually in the furniture from the old house and spread into the new house from there. Have you had the house tested? Especially in this housing market I could see some sleaze bag just drywalling or painting over it. God knows I've watched some less then reputable contractors do it enough times. It's completely miserable nightmare fuel to deal with.

[The Inflicted]

Got two 10" 3D-Printed Freak fronts and a printed VM-threaded back.

[Part-time Tech]

Anyone looking to get one of these message me

@Part-time Tech
Your account is currently too new for message. Poust couple of time on the forum and after 10 days you will be able to send message.
You can post some of the things you 3d print on the 3d print sub page:

Would be interested to see some of your design.

[Part-time Tech]

Making posts until messaging is available then! Dropped some functional prototypes on https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/c...t-today/page24
The stubby tip is one I found, the rest are my own.

[Drunkscriblerian]

Well, looks like Palmer's came through...I think. The rebuild kits are right but I'm not sure why I got two valve tools, and neither of those look like the photo I saw when I ordered or what I've seen used in videos I've watched regarding taking Sheridans apart.

Anyone who knows more than I do want to elaborate here? I'm a little confused.

[Jordan]

Two part tool - one is used for the jam nut (he one with the square end) and the other part should have internal threads on one end that can be threaded onto the end of the valve (once the jam nut is removed) and used as a puller to get the valve out.

[Drunkscriblerian]

Kinda what I figured, just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the confirmation!

[Cdn_Cuda]

I had the same thought when I ordered the valve tool from Palmer. Didn’t know there were two parts.

[SuperActionMan]

Well, it came in yesterday...


I traded barrels with one of the A5s for now and ordered a 14" hammerhead as I got this thing mostly for shooting FSRs.

[Brokeass_baller]

Enter that thing in my Walzmas giveaway!

[Euphie]

Got it in the mail the day before yesterday technically, but I realized I needed a way to measure larger things more accurately so I can do some better modifications so I managed to get a Mitutoyo 12" caliper for $20, and despite it's age it is still the smoothest thing I own lol. I always preferred a vernier caliper anyway, and I can even measure big things like barrels now

[Brokeass_baller]

My Mitutoyo is like 15 years old. It's a high quality instrument.

[Hellion360]

This arrived the other day and it was clear that the lister did not know anything about the parts. Literally everything was listed wrong (except the reg) and it was set up with a rough hard pump stroke. Here it is in it's new life!





I swapped out the internals which were a weird mishmash and swapped out the bolt too.
I shimmed the loosey goosey trigger on that KAPP frame too. Nice and even now.

Now running:
Classic WGP STO chrome pneumatics
Inception Midblock Trident Bolt
WGP Orracle Valve
CCM Hammer

Shooting nice and quiet at 350 PSI. With a light hammer spring and medium valve spring.

[Nish]

Delivered and installed.

[JeepDVLZ45]

[Chuck E Ducky]

Got my C02 valve and SC feed. I got it shooting good on HPA 279fps but going to have to mess with springs to get the valve to balance out on 12g pressures.

Made my own velocity adjustment tool as the handle didn’t allow you to get a standerd Allen in it. It’s getting there.

[JeeperCreeper]

[BrickHaus]

Got this dope ass Walzmas package from Ecapnation unfortunately the jacket is a bigger 2x than I assumed, and I'm gonna be re gifting it to a runner up of his thread.

[JeepDVLZ45]

Or…..you could eat a bunch of cookies and it’ll fit you fine!

[Ecapnation]

I love that "it's a bigger 2x" is a thing... Like I wear 2x jackets and that fit me tight!

Granted I have broad shoulders

[BrickHaus]

I have broad shoulders, and I can wear anything from medium to xl depending on brand. I figured a 2x dye jacked would fit like a smlarge, but the arms are plenty long and the cuffs cover my knuckles. Iits a sick jacket, and Id wear it oversized. It's just too oversized to get away with it for me. Either way. I'll ship to the next runner up for free happily. But I'll keep them tasty yellow grips.


Ecap feel free to pm me a screen name. Otherwise I'll re post.

[lhamilton1807]

Just a little something from SGW. Can’t believe I was the only person to bid on this and won it at $9.99 + 🚢

it needs a light cleaning, new seals and lube, but that’s it. Electronics work fine. CP barrel and flame drop are a nice bonus.

[Impactfour]

I've been looking for a cheap Spyder to practice some Dremel 'milling' on, what's SGW?

[lhamilton1807]

There’s also a mobile app if you prefer. ShopGoodwill works kinda like eBay, but don’t expect a top notch experience. Their site and apps are slow and buggy, and shipping prices (and turnaround times) can vary wildly. Make sure you get a shipping quote for each item you’re bidding on - unlike eBay, this isn’t automatically calculated for you.

Plenty of beat up blowbacks to be had there. Some nice finds come in as well.

M160R

An interesting little conversion with some nice touches. If you are considering the deadlywind hair trigger for the Gmeks, it seems pretty good to me!

[lhamilton1807]

Good to know about the DW valve. How does it compare to stock? I have a bang switch in mine, and that does help.

[Hellion360]

Really the only reason I picked it up was to try out the new DW valve for it.

It is substantially lighter and could make your trigger crazy short if you adjusted screws. I need to get a longer trigger stop screw to take advantage of it, but the stock screws are set to their shortest config right now and I still have substantial post travel.
