What did you get in the mail today?

[The Hobbit]

Jumped in on the GOG vault box from a few weeks ago. Got mine today. Unfortunately no marker in mine but it did come with some cool stuff.

A/C threads freak xl
Luxe hat
shocker tin sign
mini blow up dol.. I mean Can
lanyard
2023 NXL yearbook
One Or two other small pieces.

may grab pics later

[The Hobbit]

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.

[Chuck E Ducky]

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

[The Hobbit]

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”.

[The Inflicted]

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.

[lhamilton1807]

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

[The Inflicted]

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

New old stock Evil jersey! One of the years I didn't have.

@Super Nova is probably jealous

Hobbes thanks for making my week man....so today was like Christmas. Mint RT and a bunch o rings from agd for my emag valves.

[StaticShocked]

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?

[Ecapnation]

2000's

[StaticShocked]

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

[The Inflicted]

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.

[lhamilton1807]

$100 bucks for all that isn’t bad!

[nuclear zombie]

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

[Chuck E Ducky]

SM1 w/ hidden detent.

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

[Chuck E Ducky]

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)

[Ecapnation]

From the late night lowballs risk assessment eBay purchase files...

Needs some rehab... It's painted....

[Ecapnation]

Doubtful... That's a smart parts pattern.

[StaticShocked]

"From the late night lowballs risk assessment eBay purchase files..."
lol. This almost made me spit out my drink. I do this about once a month.

[scottieb]

Ooo, nice splash barrel.

[Socalpumpballer]

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.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Nice!

[redsquirrel]

Sick! Have always loved those feeds.

[Impactfour]

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!)

[Impactfour]

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.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Nice I bet that will look cool. I look forward to seeing your build.

[Impactfour]

Same here! Have you figured out a plan for yours yet?

[Frmrspec]

Decided to actually start unboxing some of the things I’ve had sitting around for months

[Cal440]

Wow that takes alot of will power.

[The Inflicted]

Christmas in July!

[Impactfour]

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.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Spicy 🔥

[Loophole]

Might be the last New gun from Palmers.

[mooman978]

How did you acquire that?

[Loophole]

@moonman978 I got it straight from PPS!

[Pumps4ever]

absolutely amazing!

[Cyberpyr8]

Ordered one of the JT 40th jerseys and had them customize it. It took forever but finally arrived. I ordered in April. Fun fact, I ordered the $60 one versus the 100 because the $60 version was for people who have ordered the 40th edition mask. I had the frames off of one so I tried it. They never confirmed it so I saved $40.
