[Axel]

Only on MCB! 😆😆

I love it!!

NSD made a great marker that always gets noticed on the field, sometimes by dudes who only ever see a First Strike splattered on their masks!

[scottieb]

Congrats and well deserved!

The picture screams MCB. I love it.

Woooooo Bragging rights!

Also this gun is now cursed. There is a macroline connection between the phantom body and the lever changer in the stock. It was leaking right before supergame last year so I took it apart to replace the macroline fitting o-rings and line. I mistakenly grabbed the thin walled macroline and when I had it together there was a small leak again. Like an idiot, I used to ear to locate the source of the leak. Right as my was over the leak, BAM! The thin walled macroline bursts right into my ear. Now 6 months later I have permanent, Moderately severe hearing loss in my left ear. I get a hearing aid next month.

And suddenly MCB needs a dislike button…hope the hearing aid works out for you

[netsurferdude2]

I can't hear you! Speak louder!

[Axel]

Just blow another line in your right ear and then turn up the volume

I just got hearing aides, from different issues, but they have Bluetooth in them now. It awesome, I feel like robocop, and I can also generally hear again.

Best part, once you lose your hearing, it doesnt get any worse!

[JonM]

I have a set myself. Thankfully I don't need them all the time though. Hearing aids are more or less really expensive Airpods these days with all they can do.

[powpowpaintball]

That things hot. Is there a build thread somewhere?

[netsurferdude2]

There was one on the old MCB but it was lost in the ransom. Don't know if I ever reposted it. Basically a chopped down phantom, hammerhead rifled 20in barrel and a lever changer all fit into one of those build-your-own blackpowder rifle kits.

[powpowpaintball]

From the one pic in here it looks like it all came together nicely. What do you do for a barrel condom? Plug?

[Impactfour]

I'd love to see that build thread, but lack the internet prowess to figure out the "wayback machine," would you mind describing what you mean by chopped down?

[Carp]

Impactfour here's a few more pics....

[Impactfour]

Such power levels, I bow before your electronic wizardry. Thanks man!

[Carp]

Lol...I swiped them from the 2nd page of the CCI picture thread in the Armory. I don't think it was totally "dressed-up" at that point. I'm pretty sure netsurferdude2 has a cover, of some kind, over the macro-line connection area.

[netsurferdude2]

Yeah I hammered some copper into shape to cover the trigger linkage, the exposed macro on the butt and on the valve body. The third pic above shows the finger catch used to cock the gun. I also replaced that angle iron rear sight with a buckhorn sight
