Cool Camo Custom Micromag Pictures

Just finished this less than 12 hours ago. (long night, let me tell you)



So I got a Cool Camo Micro finally, but it came with no vert adapter or gas through grip. ProTeam doesn't have any Cool Camo parts in stock anymore, and black just wasn't going to cut it with this pattern. I hate to run a gun without a gas through, so down to the shop...



I had some parts from an Ikea bookshelf that were 100% the right size and shape for a foregrip, and soon I had my forgrippy happiness going on.

A litttle bit of critical thinking told me that I could make this a gas through forgrip without much trouble, and so at about midnight, I started on that part of the build.



Also on this one are a set of dragon sculpted, silver leafed, cream-pearl grips that I made myself. I have a good mold for these and the first sale of another set on eBay just paid for my casting materials.

This one has been christened "Cool Breeze".

I would have just ran it straight to the valve and not worried about making it a gas through.

The line gets in your way when you hold the forgrip then.

Trust me, at 11:56, that sounded like a pretty good option, but gas through and no sleep won out.

Robertsr, your obsession with micros never ceases to amaze me.

I'm happy for you that that one at least had a matching trigger frame. I bought the last one Pro-team had last year.

Great looking gun, excellent innovation!

Is there any chance you could do a set of those grips in green?
