No, this is not about Steve Irwin
You all know he's dead, and I know this becouse most everyone who reads this has already made that post.
In other news (though not as interesting), I now have a paintball marker.
Just a simple piranha r6 that was used (in good shape), the pressure regulator chamber leaks a bit becouse the threads on the plug are damaged, but if worse comes to worse I can make a whole new part that'll fit better. It's a blue one with the standard trigger (no electronic bullcrap), and I'm thinking about making a full auto switch for it. Before that however I'm messing with the barrel; so far I've chamfered the muzzel vents and added some ring cuts at different points to make it look snappier, in a bit I'll mill up a bayonet lug to clamp to the barrel for the hell of it (maybe I'll make a foam bayonet for it or something). Other than that I'm milling a double sided tac rail to replace where that stupid sight was (who came up with an idea for a v sight on a verticle feed?), once thats done I'mm probably put a laser sight on the right side (and cut the grip pad so the pressure switch for the laser is flush and won't fall off), and a weaver 4x scope on the left (ala han solo pisol scope).
If I get bored later I might go yardsaleing and find another barrel to put on it, and then cut that one down to maybe 3" for a snub barrel effect (I could also make it a big pistol by mounting a 90degree feed in place of the vert. feed and making some spring fed tubes, but that would make the whole thing a bit big for what it is).
Well, thats it for now.
Over and Out
