^^^ Actually, the Rainmaker has the valve in the same tube as the hammer and carrier. The only difference is the air is routed through a bolt on a top tube.

Is it really THAT different? The only reason I'm pushing this so hard is it's the only thing I have a chance to enter, and I need an excuse to do something to my RM.

i'm in!!!

i'll post pics of my marker soon, but it's just a Traccer... it's beat up cause it used to be a rental. I'm gonna go for the custom catagory

edit: i started a LONG time ago with sawing off part of the handle... then it sat for over a year... hope no one minds

I know how Rainmakers work. I said "The valve is in a different tube..." Referring to the valve being in a different tube then the bolt.

Yes, they are that different. Different number of tubes, different valve arrangement, different bolt assembly, different hammer assembly, etc. When you get down to it, the only real things they share is the sear layout, and the rear facing valve. When you get down to details, they are very different designs.

I suggest starting a Rainmaker/Sterling build-off. I know a lot of members have them, and could be a great chance for some cool creations. Maybe some new pump rainmakers, or the so called "Painmakers." We just can't let Rainman enter.

Count me in for the custom, my soon to arrive Trracer.

Rainmaker are not nelsons, they are nelson sheridan hybrids AKA sterling valved, just like Vectors and well sterlings of course. Therefore they should not be allowed into the build.

I'd be in on that. I have a bag'o'rainmakers, which should have enough bits to build two of them. Should make for one heck of a 'before' picture too

But lets wait a bit, I have a few projects on the burner already.

Crap, i wish i had read this before i had gotten into modifying my nasty nelly so much, it really didnt start out as a complete gun though, i will get something else together. Is this the thread where we need to post before pics?
