Thats a beautiful looking M14 lineman, if I wasnt sure I'd screw up painting the thing thats exactly what I wanted mine to look like.

Yea I know about that one, I really dont understand why guarder made the old-style ACU IBA after the new type came out.

...and no velcro for rank either. I wonder if Guarder is coming out with the new-style IBA's in ACU or if this one is going to be it.

What silencer is that?

Damn, all these M14's makes we wish that I hadn't traded mine.

hmmmmm, I need an M6. It really makes the P226 look so much better, but college before airsoft unfortunately.

The grips were about 28 dollars shipped I believe. As far as getting them to fit, it was a complete pain in the *albatross*. The RS P226s don't have the metal weight on the back as the TM does so you have to dremel out all that extra material. As I said before, it took me two days of dremeling because I was extra careful not to break through the rubber. The grips are made up of hard plastic on the inside and the soft rubber on the outside so basically you have to remove all the hard plastic material and some rubber to get the grip to fit properly. I can take some pics of the inside of the

Please excuse the out-of-focus and crappy pics, my good camera is on the fritz. Anyway, I had to post because I just finished putting on the Houge grips after 2 days of dremeling. Also, I finally put on the metal frame as well, its been a very productive break!

Does anyone know how difficult it is to install the Gaurder metal frame? I already did the slide but the frame looks really complicated!

This might sound like a stupid question, but what does the Nineball spring guide improve?

Some posing I did in the back yard a few weeks ago. The ACU shines when you use a flash which is why it stands out so much.

Yep, got it in alright. Now I am just waiting for the Hogue grips to arrive and then I need to rationalize spending 50 dollars to have the metal frame installed. Then the P226 is done, finally.

Any more opinions on mine? I am really trying to give him some guidance so he can do it so I wont have to screw it up when it get it.

Nice little walkthrough mikey. I think I will go buy the houges tonight and try to fit them on tomorrow. But I have a question, on your second pic, is that spring the hammer spring? And if so, how hard is it to open up the grips and replace it? Im only asking this because I just got a Guarder hammer spring.

Its not my gun but one that I'm going to be getting in a trade, but before I do I just want to find out what you guys think and how to improve it before he ships it.
