Yup vlms are finally bringing the money they should. Ive had very high offers for my red one. It wont be going anywhere.

Nice looking millenium. Love the purple/black. Gonna need to get me one in that color someday.

I can't wait to get my VLM finished

I used to have a purp splash milly

I had a problem getting some barrels to fit it and traded it off. I wish I still had it.

###EDIT###

Brewtt, it's possible that is the stock grip and I am wrong. It was later BWs that came with the proteam grip apparently. That is a benchmark conversion to 45 grip on yours. AKA Black Widow Spyder | Paintball Review | pbreview.com Or so I am guessing. So you are just a AA Vigalante away from perfection.

Here's something odd from that review. See bold

Quote:

Strengths: This gun is a spyder in looks only, the similarities in performance, consistency, accuracy, and efficiency, are in a class by itself. I own #0033, the last (I believe) made by AKA. I purchased this gun for the 1st spyder cup and planned to sell it after wards, but after I saw what it was capable of, I kept it and use it any chance I get.

This thread says there was 0000 through 0032 for a TOTAL of 33 but no 0033? What's up with this?

cougar20th · 05-13-2008, 10:21 PM

I got the 0032 number from aaroon alexander. Id like to see #0033

Tinker's Guild Classifieds: Well actually I've got one

I know... that's why I quoted that review... dated Wednesday, March 13th, 2002.

cougar20th · 05-14-2008, 07:32 AM

I emailed the guy with 0033 with some questions. Lets see where that goes.

pump · 05-15-2008, 01:55 AM

wondering if anyone used a balanced valve on a blowback of this project could use a very very light hammer and some light springs

I believe the guns that did not have centerflag frames had benchmark frames.

MartyW · 05-20-2008, 08:09 AM

Well Cunha, that's what I believed until I saw that link-
