Impressive!
I wasn't aware that the .55cal paint was already available...
When did they release the Maxx55 anyway?

Did you use drilled plastic blocks or did you make a mold and poor a two part epoxy?

Either way looks good.

Have you gotten your velocity issues taken care of also?

E

These are being CNC'd and eventually injection molded. As for the velocity issues, she's running proper now, take a a look at the second video.

I don't know exactly and I don't wanna think about it.

That's the large part of it, there's a few little tricks and kinks to get them to run properly.

Second video is up. Cost on conversion is up in the air right now. It's not going to be cheap. I'm gonna say somewhere between the cost of a high end entry level marker and a mid range marker.

It's available several places. One of my local stores carries it. I've found it a few places online. I'll probably end up stocking it.

The first time I saw it was approx 3 months ago. Dunno how far back before it was released.

Wow, I thought I was out of luck when I got my SMG60 the other day, then I found this! I am definately interested in having you do a conversion on mine whenever you are ready to market that service.

It'll be very soon. I got the majority of 2500 of the new .55 cal clips finished tonite.

Very nice work!

How's the breakage on a softer target at normal ranges?

TopCrest · 08-30-2006, 07:25 AM

My roomate was wondering the same thing. He helped me discover that they break very well. I didn't pace the range but I'll estimate approx 50 feet.

Dude, you're the bomb. Oh, and I had a question, after the .55 conversion, do these guns still run the best on siphon Co2? It looked like in the videos thats what you were using.
