snowman Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 (edited) u bast*rd snowman - those grips look bloody nice no offence <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He he - none taken. I bought those grips way back (from a US based eBayer) for my midnight blue Tanaka Model 29. I decided they didn't suit the look, so fitted them to my 8" 629, which I sold with them on. When I got my silver PC (rather than the V-Comp) I part-ex-ed the Hogues on that for these grips back from the bloke who bought my 8" (Still with me? ). When I finally got the V-Comp (which is, for me, the perfect 629), the Hogues went on the PC 629 (which I sold) and these grips ended up on the V-Comp Cheers.

snowman Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 (edited) BTW, can someone DESCRIBE the last photo I posted? The one I can see ISN'T the one I thought I'd posted, which I THINK is a problem with over-zealous cache servers at my ISP, but I'd like to be sure Position of the gun in the photo, overall lighting effect, background, etc would be good. Cheers. Edited May 1, 2005 by snowman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

snowman Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 mmmmm - Looks like a revolver's cylinder, so it MUST qualify! Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobbyC Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Robbyc: Do the shells come out of the python? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> no, that's the latest model that does that anyway that one's broken - i really would not buy another marui revolver and i would persuade anyone else away from them i took it apart the other day (it was already broken) the inside workings were falling apart, screw threads were mangled, plastic was brittle, the gas system is irreplaceable and breaks a lot! ah but is that a 6 shooter snowman? after all there are .22 rifles that use a revolving cylinder anyway don't buy marui revolvers i really want a tanaka now but i'm saving for a whole new loadout Quote Link to post Share on other sites

snowman Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 (edited) ZenMastaT, What's that scope like? I've got a set of real steel Ruger scope rings, but I can't find a suitable pistol scope for it (Although, I fear that one's going to cost more than the gun! ) Cheers Edited May 6, 2005 by snowman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ColDaz Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 WTF was that ugly ... thing that was definately not a revolver...? This thread has actually inspired me to get a revolver, lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
