I can't remember what thread size a stock tippmann has though, maybe 10-32?
And they have nuts too McMaster-Carr

would brass be strong enuff ??

I don't see why not, so long as you're not putting too much torque on 'em, and that you're careful not to cross-thread them.

Id prefer gold.... like on the 20thway anniversary 98's

anyone know how to work with ' gold leaf" ?? ..... ive decided this marker will be a theme marker, dedicated to a childhood hero of mine , whom i had the honor to meet before his passing

the last of the gladiators

EVEL KNIEVEL

.ive been working on it like mad , surfing the net for pics to work from , watching old footage, and gathering parts, ect, but need to gold leaf some lettering and get some custom grips done......... i bought one of those " gold leaf kits" at the local hobby lobby and proceeded to make a mess and not get the job done-.............anyone know of any paints that resemble gold leaf? .....

the grips im looking for clear grips with a photo behind them .... anyone got any directions to point me there ?

** also - anyone know if a fang trigger from techt can be annodized??

Fang triggers are already anodized black from the factory, so I would guess yeah they can be done.

I need a silver one

Sorry to revive the old thread, but do you know anything that strips paint off of plastic that won't melt said plastic?

I got this Salvo secondhand, already painted like this (cheap enough that I don't care all that much). I'll call it "urban camo" to be "nice" to it, but it definitely isn't what I'd do to one of these things.

It looks better in the picture than in real life, although it is growing on me slowly now that it's back together (had to source a few parts for it). Obviously the main receiver is no problem, but I don't want to melt the hand guard or stock.

That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.” - C.S. Lewis
