Sonny Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Just a little teaser...got half of her so far. Just not sure if I want to put the wood grips on the chrome, or black DE. Cant wait till the slide comes... Ooh...and someone buy my other TM Chrome please! http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...howtopic=158623 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Are those grips a custom piece or for Real Steel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhino Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 they have something similar (if not the same ones) over on Den Trinitys site. Stick the grips on Sonny and take a pic. Would love to know how they feel/fit/look Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sonny Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 They are Carom Wood Grips bought from Airsoftglobal, and sadly aren't RS. Weren't a perfect fit, infact still trying to budge them over a tad more. Unable to put back the long screw in the bottom. Not sure if that holds the trigger mech or not. On the silver...which...is the Guarder Full Metal Electroplating Sliver : On the black Guarder kit: Close up of the eagle(said to be laser etched): Im not sure what to think about the wood. It feels very light, but feels nice. Not even sure what kind of wood yet. They make the grip slightly thicker compared to the stock grips, but the thumb grooves are a nice touch. Even with my large hands, its makes it a little harder to hold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smiffy1978 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 The grips look much better on the silver frame IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Would RS grips be easy to fit on a TM? Or at least moddable to do so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhino Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 @Sonny: very nice! Wouldn't mind something like that for my monster Eagle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pinetree09 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Deagle is Deagle...and it was also sold a while back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evo12 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hey peeps I had a couple questions. Does anyone know if the TM Custom Leon will work with the Guarder kits or TM Hardkick mags? I want some thing black. metal and 10 inch, and this is as close as I could get. Any ideas? No, it is not compatible as it was the previous generation "Dezart Eagle" which had a different design and used different mags. The closest thing would be for you to get the Zeke kit or if Guarder starts producing a 10in kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnotherJesus Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 No, it is not compatible as it was the previous generation "Dezart Eagle" which had a different design and used different mags. The closest thing would be for you to get the Zeke kit or if Guarder starts producing a 10in kit. I think he means the newer (2008) 10" Leon desert eagle. Which should work with the guarder kit. It takes the new mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evo12 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) My bad. Could have sworn I saw a 10in Wesker Dezart Eagle a few pages back but it was just a SIIS. Here is what I am referring to. When he said he wanted black thought he was referring to Wesker. Yes Leon is fully compatible with hardkick mags and metal bodies.

BSXBlizzard Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 You're doing fine... the wood grips do look good though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hmm, my one remaining non metal HK Eagle is silver with those grips. Think I feel another project comin on. Does anyone know if these kits are gonna around for long ie do they make batches of one product then ditch it to make another, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sonny Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 very VERY nice Chrome Eagle there bud! You're doing fine... the wood grips do look good though Thanks BigAl, I have a feeling they will be around for a while. All the shops Ive seen still have them instock, so Im sure you will be able to track one down. I never heard them say limited run on these. Then again, look how the Zeke's disappeared.

beta08 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Is that Guarder kit worth it? And is there a US retailer that sells them? I have only seen them at WGC. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sonny Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Is that Guarder kit worth it? And is there a US retailer that sells them? I have only seen them at WGC. Thanks! http://www.poweredgeusa.com/product.asp?ID=4383 and to me...yes I love mine so it was worth it. However, it now is a collectors piece as I dont want to ruin it.

Romulus Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 The second batch of pictures looks very nice. Having a pair of full metal D'Eagles is pretty awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Apache137 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 damn that looks great sonny, lovin the wood grips.... you know that sort of dark almost black looking wood? a wood grip w/ that would send it over the top. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 ebony? yeah, ebony grips would be great. you could always buy another set and stain/polish them to look like ebony. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rec Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Awesome DE, Sonny! Pure manliness! Is that the "stock" silver Guarder kit or did you have it extra-plated? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sonny Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Thanks Thats the stock Guarder kit. The lights do add a slight shine to it. Im thinking of adding some finish to the grips, just not sure what Im going to use. I like the idea of the ebony, might see if I can get another pair and try it out.
