      I have a Minimag w/ dust black body (right feed) & rail, 3D printed "tommy gun" foregrip & the normal composite trigger frame. Has a Classic valve on it that I just rebuilt with seals straight from sandman but it still leaks (most assuredly user error). Twist-lock barrel, but I don't know if it's the original barrel or not (it is short).

      Also have a vertical feed RT Pro body where someone hacked off the pipe portion of the neck and welded just the top half onto the body (looks better than it sounds). There's currently a Doc's cocker threaded adaptor installed in it.

      It's all going up for sale soon.

    Some reg seals from Research PB (torpedo & detonator), EM1 screws from dutchcommando, and a Sterling feed adapter from Phrameworks, all arrived last week. Also received the board game Leaping Lemmings, which is rather obscure among paintballers AND board gamers alike.

        Yeah they ran it through their instagram page. 100 bucks for a mystery box and a chance at 1/10 luxes, 1/10 shockers, 1/10 enmeys. There was a guaranteed freak xl barrel either two piece or carbon fiber.

        A way to clear out obsolete merchandise definitely but something fun to participate in occasionally.

        I wonder if they actually give the markers away or the just have a few Bot / Burner accounts. Who would know any different. Not claiming they aren’t legit. I’m just a pessimist lol

        I’d assume all the high dollar items can be written off as marketing come tax time. If so, then I doubt they’d play a game like having fictional accounts win all the guns.

        you get I’d assume a pretty nice profit on product that has been stagnant for various lengths of time on top of “good marketing”.

      Tried my luck with having Craftcloud print me a free .STL file I found on Thingiverse- in this case an Automag foregrip.
      Total cost to me was $18 with shipping. Turned out very good, though I'm wishing I had gone with more infill- it's so light in the hand it doesn't give much confidence.
      Kinda wish I knew how to edit these files- what I'd really like is just an old-style automag foregrip extender with provision to attach the vertical ASA.

        That print looks nice.
        Infill just supports the walls. If you increase the wall count you can still keep it light. I’m not sure a threaded vasa printed from plastic, especially pla. That’s just begging to break. Nylon might do the trick

        I assumed that rather than the plastic being threaded it would just incorporate a nut, like this one.

          JT Gear Backpack. Needed a gear bag, looked around and didnt like what i was finding (to much branding), and stumbled across this. I like this design a lot. Fits my gear great with dedicated spots for mask, barrels, tank, etc.

          Anyone know what years these were made?

            Ah, thanks. It is in pretty good shape for its age, then! Sweet.

          Picked up a lot locally for $100.
          All of this stuff except the Spectra is pretty far outside my wheelhouse, but curiosity got the best of me.

          The barrel nut ring the previous owner came up with to mount the AR-style forearm to the TMC is really something else, though.

            $100 bucks for all that isn’t bad!

          It finally got to me after 11 harrowing days in the USPS system, also got the shorter grip and cqb barrel front as well.

              What is the lid on that Winchester and has the hopper been modified?

              Just a lock lid from a Dye pods. I drill them in 3 spots and use 1/4” binding posts like what hold JT flex bottoms together. I like to melt the back side of the pin over on the lock lid lever that pops the lid open. (Keeps the lever in place.) the lid mod increases the capacity so it gives room to accept a full 50 round pod and have room to agitate. It’s important to not modify the feedneck lots of guys cut them and it makes them feed like crap. (They need the stack pressure)

              lol. This almost made me spit out my drink. I do this about once a month.

              Ooo, nice splash barrel.

            Impulse BIN purchase that was too good to pass up. VSC Phantom with a bunch of white wolf parts. Also came with a right feed body which surprisingly came with a whole set of internals.

            Got a little package from EV today, decided it was time to fill out the freak insert collection to have 2 of everything from .675 to .684 given that all my markers use freak barrels and between my wife playing occasionally and usually bringing 3 or so markers per day it just made sense. Also got the threaded insert for my duckslide project (the final piece is headed my way from ODM, almost time for anno!)

              I'm hoping to go with KMDPB, his work has all been gorgeous and I like to support my fellow MCB people when I can.

              I'm thinking of a slime green and bright pink splash, I've got back and forth a few times but that's always been one of my favorite color schemes, the only thing holding me back is already having a green/silver acid wash phantom.

              Christmas in July!

            Got my custom grips for the phrame going on my duckslide from oDm today. A lot of attention to detail went into these to ensure a good fit, and my God they're absolutely perfect.

            Next step is to ship everything off for the anno job. This marker's really coming together and I can't wait to show it off and take it for a spin when it's complete.
