What's going on?
Mood:  lazy
The BAR is near completion. I'm not going to post any new pics till it is. I destroyed the valve body in the Tippmann trying to fix a leak so I had to buy a new one. It should be here in a couple of days. I have put up some pics of me in the paratrooper uniform. I was using the M3 Grease gun Tippy that day so it's in the pics. Knock on wood, I'll have the BAR for next Sundays practice.

The majority of the site had been updated. There are a few pics and videos that I need to put on still, but I'm workin on it. The equipment page has been completely redesigned. I got the grenade filler workin and now have a crate of 24 grenades ready for D-day. And finally, I got my tanks hydrotested so I should be good to go.

I have mounted the rear sight and the butt plate o the BAR. I'll put up a pic once I mount the rear swivel plate. The next step is to work on the trigger, saftey, and the front sight. After that, just the gas tube and tube mount. The end is near! I got my M3 Grease gun kit for the 98C. I broke it already. The hole for the barrel wasn't cut right and the thin part in front cracked. Not a big deal. I also ripped off one of the stock mounts and I don't have any super glue. It isn't too bad but I still have to "finish it" like I did with the Viper kit. I'm gonna do some modifications to it so I can put on a sling. I'm gonna have to run to Lowes.

I know it don't look like it but I have been working on it. I finally mounted the rear stock. The gas tube is still free hanging because I'm waiting for a chunk of aluminum to make the block. I did get the swivel, granted it's not a BAR swivel but it will work just fine. I ordered some real BAR parts (Yes I found a place that will sell parts, for real this time, I swear!) I got them today BUT, I ordered the wrong ones. I'm a dumb ass, I know. Of the right parts, I have the front sight assembly. I have to modify it because it wasn't meant for a paintball barrel, but if you know me, that wont be a problem.

I did some updating to the site. I'm in the middle of a complete rebuild of the equipment page. Right now I need to haul out all my gear and retake pictures of everything. I tried to make paint grenades today. I was able to make 3 and in the process, paint my driveway white.

Thats the grenade filler by the way. I found out the problems and I should be able to fix them. Funny thing is, It worked perfect when I built it. Nothing like!having a gallon of paint in your driveway.

It's coming along nicely! Tomorrow I'm gonna mount the gas tube and work on the butt stock metal.

I now have my entire WW2 paratrooper uniform complete. 82nd 505th Corpral. Did some work on the BAR. Tomorrow, I'm gonna fix the "work" I did today. Don't ask. I'm planning on making the stocks and finishing the slide tomorrow.I have also ordered the new barrel.

Mood:  not sure
Between fire training and getting things ready for work, I haven't done much on the BAR. The guide and slide are done. I need to attach the handel on the slide still. I'm on my 3rd tap, the other 2 are inside the guide and slide. I started the front stock. Had to redesgine the trigger, It should work now. Next step is to fill holes and smooth things down. Then finish and attach the stocks, trigger, and gas tube. That will finish the majority of it. Then I'll just have little stuff like the saftey, butt stock parts, sights, swivels, and decrotive body parts. Maybe tuseday.

I'm getting their. The barrel looks too short doesn't it. Overall, the barrel is 22 3/8" long. Rusty's Paintball Gear has a 23" Spyder thread barrel. With a Spyder to 98 adapter thats about 25 1/4". Just about right. The 21" barrel has that crome part on it that just pisses me off. I guess I could just deal with it. But anyways, I'm making some pretty good progress on it. The barrel is sitting lower than I want it to (lower than it should be) because the design of the paintball gun. I couldn't do anything with it because of that rod that connects the bolts. I finished the trigger guard/mag guide. I also finished the bump on the back. Next, it's on to the charging handle as you can see by the tape. I've contacted Ohio Ordenance again because, the replica being as screwed up as it is, I want to make sure things are as close as possible. These guy have been a big help.

Yellow!

Last night I went off of probation a the fire station. I now have yellow tags. The difference? Not much, but I'm no longer on probation. Next step is green tags. Once I earn those, I'll be able to go into the fire. Hopefully it'll be around June once I'm done with my class.

BAR Update
Topic: Progress

What you see here is what I got done. Mr. Tippmann would shit if he saw his gun like this. But it was neccesary. I still have to cut a grove for the new bolt pin. Ohio Ordinance wrote me back and said they won't sell just parts. Oh well. Looks like it's going to be 100% RSG.

Here is the finished BAR replica. Pretty sweet eh!

TIPPMANN BAR
Topic: Progress

No this is not the finished gun. It's a replica from Cushman Paintball. I finally got around to doing it. It'll probably just hang on the wall forever. Anyways, I just made the, with any luck, final parts order for the BAR. I'm planning on getting the lower assyembly done tomorrow and possibly starting the stock. I'm talking with the people from Ohio Ordinance. They make a semi-auto version of the BAR. I'm going to price a bunch of real parts to put on my gun.

Hello
Topic: What's going on?
I just sat down and really read my site. Some of the things are just so stupid or outdated that I need to fix them. I'm planning on doing a major redesign so let me know what you want to see.

STUFF THATS DONE!
