Hi again! :P

I would like to present, ...for the second time :? ... Desert Storm.

(To view original post goto:
http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/700-des ... 17397.html)

I apologise in advance for submitting the same spudgun twice, but I ran out of uploading space on the original post and to remove all the photo's and replace them would have made everybody's kind comments invalid.

I think the stock and paintjob improve the overall effect considerably. 8)
(Please comment!)

To answer a few questions in advance, yes the chamber is going to be shortened (to about 4" in front of the stock I've decided...) but I'm just about to run out of oxygen and there would be nothing worse than running out of heat halfway-through-the-very-last-weld, just before the weekend! :cry:
So it's on the 'to-do list'...!
Oh, and it still needs a trigger... and a butt-pad... and the barrels tied together... and a high pressure pump.... and a... and a... etc. :lol: But at least this time you can see what I had in mind when I came up with the name!

Enjoy!

Wow nice gun. It looks like you made that stock yourself, that's quite an achievement. I would just leave the chamber as is. It's not decreasing performance and it's not shortening the length and plus it should give you some nice noise. :) Any damage pictures?

Very nice, now get some shooting vids and damage pictures.
