Big haul today. My Spire IR2 that fed ex took on a 10 day vacation of the greater Indianapolis area, a Warrior LE Axe 2.0, 8 more BK ESC pods and a HK Evo speed feed. Plus I got my LV 1.5 back from Flawless Airworks yesterday.
Got my matching parts from arc today, just got my preferred configuration put together before bed. I'll try and get some better photos this weekend. Not pictured is just about every other part a man could use in matching anno just in case...
It somehow looks even better in person, arc said he did 3 different attempts to get it right. I couldn't be happier with the result, probably gonna have him do my duckslide too
It is a 170R. Bought used. Couldn't justify brand new 180R money. If you happen to run across your old grip set I'd be more than happy to take them off your hands.
Yeah the M170R grips will work on the 170R. You can't beat the prices on a used 170R right now. They are rock solid and that anno is beautiful. I understand not spending the extra money for the 180R when you can get these for around 500. The 180R is not 5-600 better!
Got this in. Anno is drop dead gorgeous, so much detail and precision in the creation of this art. Made sure to buy a TechT bolt for it so its smooth as butter.
Parts came in for my new Pneumatic Assist Pump build im working on. Edit: found a Karni Snatch grip for it to. It's alive leak free and shooting 280fps! Woot!
It’s CCM Triangle body. Basically a Round Top S5 with a triangle shaped cut on the lower tube it’s pretty rare. TJD pneumatic assist and brass hammer ICS, CCM valve. It’s smooove!
Got a NDZ 15* VASA for my nerve yesterday. Been after one of these for years and finally decided to pull the trigger. Now to decide on anno so this thing is finally a solid color, not all hodge podge.
It's a stacked tube poppet, but my understanding is updated impulse really undersells it. While the impulse is kinda crude and not great without a lot of aftermarket parts, the nerve is a hell of a lot more refined out of the box and doesn't have anywhere close to the aftermarket support. I've always been kinda shocked they weren't more popular and flopped as hard as they did.
I think these got overlooked cause the backwards hammer thing they got going was a bitch to work with if I remember correctly, these also had to be set up right or because of the way they operated they would just turn into a blender, I think it's cause the were so fast
Went up against a guy with a well tuned nerve and I swear on my nieces life that thing was the fastest semi iv ever had shot at me or shot myself, thing was fucking insane
I wouldn’t say the reversed hammer is difficult to work on. Maybe because I haven’t torn into too many other poppets to compare.
As for being a blender, as long as I’ve had a good hopper with fresh batteries, I haven’t had issues even if the eye wasn’t working. Now I will agree this thing just seems insanely easy to shoot fast in semi.
My personal theory on its luke warm reception, the sft shocker beat it to market by a year and all the smart parts teams were already shooting the shocker. So all the kids trying to emulate dynasty and others wanted the shocker.
It also probably didn’t hurt that the shocker was 200ish bucks cheaper msrp at launch.
Actually belonged to a family friend who passed away about 15 years ago, His nephew sold me some of the left over gear he had from when he ran a paintball field, Came with some other parts and stuff.
Finally met up with RichardBaggins to buy this Trilogy I agreed to buy forever ago. Stuck the lazarus valve, and Jenny craig hammer in. The niche frame has a broke spring I'll have to order. But she's pretty sweet!
I just picked up another example of everyones favorite STBB, a Brass Eagle Eradicator. I used a VL Force hopper as a test to see if the constant force feed would overwhelm the detent. After testing here, it passed, no double feeds the entire test. The Erad posted up respectable chrono numbers too. Paint is a bit old (Triumph cheap stuff) so it probably would have been even tighter with nicer stuff. See for yourself!
Was just talking about this the other day - in all of my adult years, not once have I ever been called for this. No idea why. At this point I'd kind of like to just for curiosity's sake.
