Hey just wanted to show off my pb gun again!
I just had boilingleadbath do some milling for me and I wanted to make a public review on his service. He did this for a very good price saved me a bunch of money. So thanks BLB!!


Before...

After...
Ok in this picture (Im sure none of you would have noticed) the ram on the other side isnt on it so its not complete yet, I have to shorten it.

So I got weight cut off, there is no more cocking rod which stuck out, and the back block that kept hitting me in the face when I was in tight behind a bunker is gone.

Tell me what you guys think!

*drools on self* I love it! What kind of gun is that? It looks great and the new look is awesome. But when the bolt moves back doesnt it get dirty From not having something covering it? How many balls per second can you get?

Its a WGP prostock. Nah the bolt doest get that dirty, I mean maybe if I was playing paintball in a dust storm it might lock up but since I take very good care of it the bolt will be fine. And since its still a mechanical frame I get around 8bps with it. My next upgrade is an electro frame that will get 18+bps. unfortunately just the frame cost about as much as I paid for the whole gun.

Yeah I didnt even want to attempt to half it on my own! But I did half back a spyder for my friend, we're still working on it but it looks like a want-to-be EGO.

Have you short-stroked it yet? When you don't return the trigger all the way and it puffs the ball out like 2 feet?

I like cockers besides that part. How much was it?

Oh yeah short stroking is the worst!! It usually doesnt just spit a ball it, it rather doesnt fire a ball out and just "sputs"

Cockers are very very nice and the thing I like most about them is theres a whole world of upgrades for them. You can even build one! (not from scratch you have to buy all the parts)

And yes Eblade is next upgrade. Still deciding on eigher the wgp Select fire frame or a used E1 on ebay. Id rather have an E1 but the select fire will be a lot easier to get.

The gun itself cost $280

Thanks for the good comments guys!

Wow, I like it. That is some nice milling job. It has a really good style to it :D
I also like to work on my marker, it looks very different to when I got it.

Yeah Ive seen that site a bunch of times but unfortuately they dont have many visual upgrades more perofrmance. Which is not necesarily bad cause Ill use that later but were trying to make it look sweet before we acutally use it. Its a spare gun so if we screw something up its not a big deal. Ive already Half backed it with a dremel and it looks SWEET!!

I have half backed my MR1, I really love it now! Even though I play bushball I still like making my marker unique. I have done a very good job so far. I have done work to the internals as well. BLB did a really good job.
