MTSCMike Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 In the true spirit of IDPA ESP Division (The Tinkerer's Dream) I have put the finishing touches on my IDPA ESP "Gamer" Gun! It may not have all the bells and whistles that USPSA would allow but it has EVERY modification allowed in IDPA. Can't wait to get to the range as soon as my Doc gives me permission...post rotator cuff recovery sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul-the new guy Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Looks fantastic and I bet it shoots even better. What magwell is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSCMike Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Looks fantastic and I bet it shoots even better. What magwell is that? It's an old SV aluminum that has been pretty extensively modified to fit the IDPA box. Probably removed nearly half the metal, filed, sanded and polished to a mirror finish.

steviesterno Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 haha I've never shot IDPA with a gamer, but I like it! My old club would give you a FTDR just for on that paint set up alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSCMike Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 haha I've never shot IDPA with a gamer, but I like it! My old club would give you a FTDR just for on that paint set up alone Thanks for all the kind comments. I used to shoot 4 divisions and kept my mods pretty mild except for ESP. Now I shoot only ESP and decided to bling it up. I carry a copy of the rule book in my range bag with the allowed modifications hilighted just in case I run up on a real "Range Nazi". I was actually told I wasn't welcome at a club in Texas (to remain un-named) because I wore a shirt to a match with an STI logo on it go figure. I love IDPA but there are some anal you-know-what's in the sport. I make it a point to smile and be unreasonably pleasant while they pout and rant about "gamers and their equipment".

My old club would give you a FTDR just for on that paint set up alone That's why I stopped shooting IDPA and only shoot USPSA. +1 +2.....I'd say +100 if it would make any sense. Just seems to me that IDPA (the people running it, not the sport itself) tends to take the fun out of the game. Lets face it....this is our GAME. Not trying for a thread drift, but thats my take on it. Very nice blaster, sir. would you mind giving us a general parts breakdown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
