...grips! Spent most of my free time yesterday and some time today in the work shop working on a few things. One of them; the grips I didn't think I was going to build. Makes it look a bit better, no? The part I was mainly concerned about, the trigger guard attachment point, didn't need to be copied form the stock grips as well as I had thought. The little notch that helps hold the grip in place doesn't really do that much, so I just cut out a spot in the new grip for it to fit into. It would be practically impossible to replicate the little groove without a special t

I got my Skorpion yesterday (day before, technically), and already I've spent about an hour working on it. About 50 minutes of that was mostly because I didn't know what I was doing, but 10 minutes was because of a somewhat legit problem. Don't read too much into the title, I don't really believe that. I'm actually agnostic. Anyhow, for some reason, the 61's blowback is quite a bit stronger with the stock extended and unsupported (as in not against my shoulder), but strangely the two halves of the receiver pop off at the back. So the first time this happened, I was a bit surpr

Hmm, glad I decided against buying one. Are the trigger bits at least metal? Do you think that it'll stand up to CO2 shell usage?

Lately I haven't been feeling to well. Not sick, just upset. I think it's because I'm not sure whether I'm behind or doing okay. It's an awful feeling that I can't seem to shake. Not really sure what to do about it either, except continue to do what I do, and hope for the best. But that seems so irresponsible, doesn't it? Just hope and work? I'm sure I'll figure it out, I'm just not sure when. This all probably sounds like nonsense, but I don't care to elaborate any more on it, since it would require me to be a bit more personal, and I'm not comfortable with that. In lighter news,

It worked for me. Second page, second row, first one on the left.

I have a bunch of other stuff that I should be doing right now, most especially sleeping, but oh well. I've been having some pains in my left hand the past few days. I think it's because I was splitting wood. Normally this wouldn't affect anything other than my arms, but it was cold out and I made the mistake of wearing cotton cloves. In case you didn't know, swinging an 8-pound smooth wood-handled maul is not easy when you're wearing cotton gloves. I'm not sure why it's only my left hand though, as I'm right-handed. I only took a few swings before I switched to a different pair of g

Thanks, never thought of that. I take the launcher off frequently though, so I'm not sure I want to cut up a hand guard. Though I should get a new top one since it's broken...

Just a bunch of "cheap" stuff I had that I bolted on to my Marui to see how heavy I could get it. Only the launcher will stay, maybe the suppressor. Practicing what I preach, the launcher is 2Roy, the suppressor is the PFI smokecap, the RDS is some sort of BSA thing, the magpull is DBoy, the mag is Star, and the base rifle is Marui. Damn, I must be really tired. I just uploaded the wrong photo. I'll put the better one up in a minute. Edit 2: Okay the clearer one's up.

Nooo! That's mine damn you! MINE! Looking really good Guiness. Curious to see what the hand guard looks like.

My KWC Desert Eagle stopped working again. It figured, I get rid of or repair one thing, something else breaks and takes its place. It's not all that bad, though. It had destroyed itself for no reason once before. I was firing it one day, when all of a sudden the blowback frame snapped around the area that a little grub screw that reset the trigger mech was screwed into, causing a bunch of little pieces to be launched from the slide. Pretty stupid of them to make such a part out of plastic. Anyhow, I was able to fill in the damaged area with epoxy resin, then Dremel and drilled

There is the little site jump window thing at the bottom right corner of the screen as well. I just have the main forums page on the bookmark tool bar, so I can click that to return me to the forum main page. Otherwise I just hit the home key, as Samm suggested.

Beautiful! Now if only they would make the "Cruiser" 500, so I can't possibly find a reason not to get one. Except maybe empty wallet syndrome...

First ever airsoft related entry! My Maruzen M1100 (pain in the *albatross* though it was) really reminded me of the unique feeling I got after repairing something, or getting something to work like I wanted. Ever since I was really young, I always enjoyed taking things apart. Not necessarily to see how the worked, and I never tried getting those things back together, but just taking them apart to see what they looked like inside, and p[laying with all the little bits. As I matured I started taking those little Matchbox cars apart and sort of customized them with bent pieces of w

Nothing airsoft related but I went to the dentist today. I'm not going to get into it too deeply (I'll spare you that horror). First thing I notice when I get there is the mini TV. Do people really need to watch TV while they're getting their teeth cleaned? The only thing I can do while some one's scraping at my teeth with a steel pick (more on that in a second) is sit still and fall half asleep. Next thing I'm thinking about while sleeping in their chair is how can all this scraping be beneficial to my teeth? And then they use this rubbing compound and drill to polish them. T

Er, I think I'm missing something... You're basically saying that you don't like the amount of little stars you have out of five? You want to know why you don't have as many stars as you like? Those little stars don't even have a big enough of an effect on your e-penis, why would you care how many you have? They aren't there to leave feedback on your sales, they're really barely even there. If some one's willing to publicly say something about you, there's always the comments box. If not, then screw them.

Since blogs can be made by anyone now, I thought I might make my own to fill with a bunch of stuff that no one's going to see 'cause no one reads these things anyhow. Mainly I created this blog because I like to write, and since school's started again and I have to write now, I barely get to write anything I want. I'd usually write reviews, but I try to get those as perfect as possible, and often it'll take me several hours of work to get them the way I want (not all at once of course). Anyhow, I thought since I think about some stuff that I'd like to share sometimes I'd figure this wo

I would have expected a bit more than that, considering what it does with unheated green and .20s... Have you tried running yours on Red at all? I think I read that Tanakas can take it, but I'd never try it with mine.

Guinness that M16 reminds me of that old informative comic with the guy and his taped together rifle. Hmm, might try to redo that old spring Tokarev I have. Edit: Must learn not to get distracted while posting. Maybe it won't take an additional ten minutes.

Misunderstood, sorry. It seems to do it only to edited posts, and it won't do it if the link has a "proper" name (ie, "Link" instead of http://blahblah). Oddly enough when I first edited a link on the new forum a bunch of HTML code stuff popped up around the link.

I don't know, at first I didn't like the skin, but now I do.
