Here is my Tippmann SL68. It is being entered into the "Custom" category.

Before:


1. Put on 12 gram changer, cut off the feedneck flush with the body.
2. Set up a homeade Hitman mod for the pump grip with a brass bracket and generous use of Plasti Dip.
3. Attach trigger shoe, sand the body, attach the horizontal feed with JB Weld
4. Clean up and Plasti Dip pump grip
5. Paint the body (3 coats automotive paint, 3 coats clear top coat)
6. Put it all together.

After:

category; restoration/era-correct set-up, if having a different body is allowed?

i started with this...



then quickie job with challenger bits



destroyed the feedtube trying to remove the DF



gave it to mechanic to weld on a new feedtube...still havent heard from him, traded the challenger body to sparky for a body similar to this, minus the black ball stop



put it together, raw finish shown here



did a green version, didnt like it but heres the pic



final appearance with rustoleum's anti-rust paint, in semi-gloss black





a shot of it with it taken apart, appraised, the specs are as follows, 12gram asa from bacci with good seal, Lapco #4 and 6P tubes, lapco internals, stock internals, SI #6 tube, Lapco #00 tube, good seals, trigger frame and grip panel from bacci, refinished in black, grip panels are just cleaned up.
