Romulus Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I'm not sure that I ever finish a project like this but I certainly feel that I have finished the orange phase of this gun. It has grown from a 5" to a Comped 5" and now has reached the point where it can't really get any bigger. I haven't had a whole lot of time to shoot this gun yet but from my testing the optic works great in tandem with the PDI 7". In other words this gun is a tack driver. I am still planning to do a few more little things like lighten up the trigger which should help the gun become even more consistent. This gun is also a hard hitter due to the Hi-Flow and 7" barrel. With any luck I'll get it to a chrono sooner or later (mine doesn't like winter weather) so that I can have exact numbers. I hope to do some testing of the guns 20m grouping once I get everything sighted in and fine tuned. My only major regret is that this gun hasn't quite made it to the 1k mark yet. I'm sure it will in time though. At any rate the gun is certainly ready to be shown so enjoy. As always comments and suggestions are helpful and appreciated.

Romulus Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 If you can battle your way through the blizzards and wild beasts of Alaska you can. Enjoy your new Hi-Capa. It is one of those guns that you can spend infinite amounts of money on and never finish. Link to post Share on other sites
Shard Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Very nice dude. Definitely well worth all the hard work in getting it to where it now is. Are you sure the hi capa itself isn't one of the wild beasts of Alaska Link to post Share on other sites
ViciousV10s Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Looks pretty good ROM. That site looks decent for the price, hows the dot quality? Why dont you ever take pics of the other side of the gun? Link to post Share on other sites
Eskimo_Magic Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I dont understand why all these limcat compensators have to have the stirrup cut(?) on them, i'd much rather prefer a straight edge like on the infinity slides. Link to post Share on other sites

Romulus Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Thanks for your comments guys. Looks pretty good ROM. That site looks decent for the price, hows the dot quality? Why dont you ever take pics of the other side of the gun? You know I never really noticed that. I normally take a huge batch and then pick out a few good ones. I guess that I just got unlucky. _______________ There have been several people interested so I think that I will try to put up links to larger pictures this afternoon.

r.ocelot Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 It has grown from a 5" to a Comped 5" and now has reached the point where it can't really get any bigger. DB 8" 6.01 inner, and PDI barrel shroud? Bit excessive, I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 It is one of those guns that you can spend infinite amounts of money on and never finish. I hear that....lol Awesome 5.1, the orange grip really sets it apart... Link to post Share on other sites
Romulus Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 DB 8" 6.01 inner, and PDI barrel shroud? Bit excessive, I suppose. I suppose that there is always a VSR 303mm barrel and a 200mm can as well. That would basically make the gun into a gas power sniper rifle. I may try that some time. Link to post Share on other sites

ViciousV10s Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) It would be fun to see what kind of power a fully upgraded TM HiCapa would put out with a 300mm inner barrel. The 6.03mm X 300mm barrel I had made for my KSC Glock 17 yielded a high of 563fps. I always wanted a GBB that shot 600+fps (Guarder Chrono) Edited January 16, 2008 by ViciousV10s Link to post Share on other sites

Romulus Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I have finally rounded up all the bits necessary to get my STI Hybrid working so I thought that I would post a few pictures. This gun was born because I bought a base gun from Junior that had a number of bead blasted parts. Since I needed black bits from my Limcat I decided to try to work the bead blasted grey pieces into my STI Hybrid. This is the result but I am still looking for ways to improve it. To my eye it is good but not quite perfect. I welcome any and all suggestions for other things that I could do to tweak this gun further. Probably my favorite piece of this project is the custom grip frame. It started life as a blue SD grip but after spending some time with RSP it now is a one of a kind piece of art. I feel that the black and grey splatter painting is the main factor that ties this guns' somewhat unique color scheme together. As far as performance goes this gun has been totally tricked out as usual. It shoots like any other highly upgraded Hi-Capa (read really really nicely). The kick this gun delivers makes it a bit challenging for precision target shooting but it is a blast to plink with. I actually like the added recoil because it challenges me and is actually somewhat helpful in training me to shoot RS guns. At an rate this gun is still a work in progress so any comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. I have found that many of my projects are heavily influenced by other people suggestions and that they are all the better for having multiple designers.
