you got to be quick around these parts to get them when they pop up. lowest i have gotten one was $10 bucks. It was brand new, some kid just pissed of his parents and they cleaned his room out.

how did you deal with this hole thats left ?

jb weld or bondo each half seperatley, wait untill hard, and then sand smooth, if you sand it with a wood black, you shouldnt have any issues with a gap

Contact SSC. I think he did the mod you are wanting answers to. I'm interested as well. I plan to remove that ugly grip piece also.

Later,

had a chance to work more on the newest one .... rounding and softening edges , changed rear sight area shape, smooth'd down the top edge ( more needs done there) roughed out the body window i wanna do , ect......

So, you did the cut in the body, there? Is that pretty easy to do? Seems like something I could do on my 98..

randall ace · 02-06-2012, 04:27 PM

no it came cut ...... ive seen them cut many different ways ....a simple cut like this would be easy to do ..... heck even a hacksaw could to it

** i think if i would have done the cut i would have done it IN FRONT of the bolt ( near the safety ) , not behind it

TippmannFireman · 02-06-2012, 04:28 PM

That's what I thought you did to it. I may try and tackle this here soon on mine.

randall ace · 02-06-2012, 04:33 PM

no i re-shaped the rear sight area ...... and figured out where i want to cut the body window on the drivers side to show the exposed power tube

randall ace · 02-06-2012, 06:35 PM

- i really hate to suggest this ....** cringes** ..... but if i were you i'd go over to PBN and look at older photos in the 98 photo thread for ideas on how to cut the body ......
