    My most awesomest Raptor, so far.

    Most people don’t care about an old Brass Eagle Raptor, but if you can’t share it here, then you can’t share it anywhere. I finally got most of the pieces in place to put this together. Always had a fondness for Raptors since my first paintball gun was a green Raptor way back when. This is what happens when you have a sentimental attachment to a gun, and nearly every part attached to it cost more than the gun itself.

            I’ve never seen those grips either. Very cool. I’ve got a stock Silver Eagle. Seeing this makes me want to do something with it. I had a Silver Eagle back when they were new. I always wanted to deck it out entirely with polished/silver/chrome parts. I figured if i was having a rough day & it was sunny that i could resort to blinding the opposing team to give me an advantage. Good times.

              That thing is boss! Loved the Raptors back in the day. Had a Silver Eagle that I ran in a "pistol" form. Cut-down stock barrel, pocket hopper, 12g quick changer right off the VASA.

              Where did you get those grips and hopper cover? Those grips look brand new & like the others I've never seen those before.

                  Hopper cover came from a website called Ginger Dynamics. They make hopper, tank and cocker pneumatic covers. https://www.gingerdynamics.com
                  Dan Bacci hooked me up with that Revy which looks practically brand new.

                  The grips are from Alumagrips. I just provided the image and they were able to laser etch it into the grips for me.

                  The chamber was an F4 chamber that I sent to BMC Fab and Brandon was able to rethread it for me.

                    Thank you very much for the info. Been looking for more American flag stuff.

                  That's an awesome Raptor! I have several guns that are worth much less than the sum of the parts/work put into them.

                      I just noticed the powerfeed plug. Nice. I do hate how the VAs get discolored like that. Mine’s the same. I wonder if polishing them would work.

                        You might be able to try some Brownells Oxpho Blue to darken it up. I was able to darken up an old spyder VA with it.

                      Yeah, that powerfeed plug was a totally random find, but I really like the look of it. I do have an aluminum VA I might put on just because it is a nice black anodized color. Plus any Raptor can use some help where it can get it in the weight category, especially when you go adding stainless steel barrels!
