I'm still waiting to take those better pictures I promised - it's been nothing but overcast skies and today pouring rain. Unfortunately the onyl digital camera at my disposal is my father's Cybershot which requires perfect natural daylight to get a decent picture.

Wow, that combo of RAS + Handguards + Bipod looks great.

Sorry about the terrible quality, this camera is awful at nighttime. I'll get some in daylight tomorrow.

Yeah, I just saw those. Now I'm a bit tempted to pick one up.

It was snowing pretty heavily and I didn't feel like getting myself or the gun snowed on, so I stayed under the awning on out front porch. There's nothing there I have to worry about breaking, I was close enough that I didn't have to worry about hitting the house.

Well, it's had enough rounds through it to need a few battery recharges and it's still firing perfectly. Hi-cap is still a bit inconsistent though, needs a lot of winding. And apparently I was wrong in the initial FPS tests (bad BBs I guess). Here's a video showing that it is in fact a lot more powerful than I initially thought: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EY0W8hze08

Oh, wow, I just looked back and saw Souske's cm.028, it's gorgeous! How'd he get it to look like that? Coat it in matte black first or something?

Is it that bad

It's a work in progress and I haven't started the fake wood yet, but I think it's coming along decently:

I'll keep you posted. Technically it's my brother's, so it's not going to get babied the way my guns do. I'll see if I can convince him to let me run a thousand or so rounds through it this weekend.

If anyone wants to point me to a good guide for taking the gun apart (assuming it's a fairly simple takedown), I can get some shots of the gearbox this weekend. Nothing inside the gearbox though, it's technically my brother's gun despite me paying for most of it and I'd hate to ruin it due to lack of experience with gearboxes.

It sure seemed to be sturdy. The stock was absolutely rock solid, that's for sure. The body felt solid as well. I didn't purposely try to flex it, but I can when I get home this weekend.

Just got a JG Sig SG 552 in from AirSplat today and figured I'd share my initial thoughts on it. The packaging is pretty similar to that of the Marui 552 for those who are familiar with it. The gun is held in place with foam inserts on top of it and then foam inserts underneath a layer of cardboard supporting it from the bottom. The package arrived in good shape and the gun was fine, so it does its job. After all, this is a cardboard box we're talking about, not high-end art. After opening the box I was under the impression that the gun's receiver was a flat black. This was

Is this the same sight? For $82 shipped it's not a bad buy. http://ebaybanned.com/product_info.php?cPa...roducts_id=1011

Wow, that looks like it could be converted into a Halo 3 Battle Rifle without a ton of work: Hmmm....

Maybe consider using 800x600 resized images for the thread and have larger (1600x1200+) images available by clicking on the images. If you have Photoshop, it's really easy to make a script to import images off your camera and have PS resize and compress your photos.
