PPS anno?

geeman · 07-17-2008, 03:49 PM

I have an EBZ tha PPS made for me. Is the anno that they use able to be stripped and re-annoed without comprimising the structural integrity of the aluminum? It is polished black and I want something flashier....

You can strip it but you may have trouble re-anno'ing it because of the various tiny body plugs that it has in it for the air paths.

Nope you'll be fine. As Erik said there may be some small blemishes where they weld up to the holes...but most BZ owners accept that.

The weld spots just are a part of Blazers... i thought that I was told at one time that they can't strip thier anno because it was Type 3 or something like that? What does anyone think it would cost to tear down, re-anno and put back together an EBZ. Rough or even very rough estimates welcome. Are there any smith's that would be able to do that that you folks know of?

Currently I believe Legion and Noxx do them. You can find them on the airsmith/custom section. I would ink you but I'm posting from a phone.

Im full right now or id help out. You probably looking at around $200-250 for a decent multi color and the tear down.

You shouldnt have any tolerance issues assuming the anodizer strips the gun properly.

I'm not in any hurry. I'm just kicking the idea around right now. Shoot...it took 1 year to have the gun built in the first place. I just want something that sticks out more. Looking back, black was a bad idea. I spent all this $$$ to have a one off made and it just doesn't get noticed like it should. Does anyone do acid wash anymore?

Thanks for all the responses! It is the gun in my avatar...

I have been meaning to ask you; what is on the back of your EBZ.

Just a snatch grip. It kinda gives you another way to carry it. That thing gets a little heavy at the end of the day. I'm thinking about having another made that has a lip on the very back so it doesn't slip out of your hand. Just another little something to make it a one off...Now I need to get in re-annoed some loud color....

Right on. I am currently trying to decide what color mine is going to be. I was originally going to get all nickel (can't be done) so now I am weighing the costs of it all. I will probably end up with Black and Nickel highlights or something as I don't think I can afford to get the entire thing annod they way I want any time soon.
