zhunter Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Here is the finished product. Not sexy, no fancy cuts, but it works like a charm, or maybe an expensive watch would be a better anaolgy Derek at Mellennim Custom did the work. It has been done a little at a time, depending unpon funds Today the last work was finished, the SV trigger and Koenig Hammer were installed, as well as the trigger now being 2 lb.s Derek had previously done the grips, sights, smoothing out of the feed ramp, and other misc things Virgil Tripp did the hard chroming.

zhunter Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 nice heater z.what kinda grip treatment did he do? lynn <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Lynn It is a "Grip Tape" type of surface. I think the orginal grip is milled down a bit, then the new surface is attached. It is a REALLY nice grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharyn Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 (edited) Derek does awesome work! (I would say that all Derek guns are sexy... but somehow that just doesn't sound right. ) Nice gun, z. I look forward to seeing it at S FL. I don't think Derek 'attaches' anything to the grip surface (as in, nothing will ever come off). He explained the process to me, and I understood, but I have difficulty explaining it. I really like the grip too!

JRBean Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Very nice! I got to see some of Derek's work at the Arae 6 match this year.He does some real good work. Virgil did the chrome on my wifes Limited gun about 4 years ago and it still looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spook Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hmmm, I wonder why I always like the non-sexy guns best. Great looking blaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I "fixed" that problem, it WON'T happen again. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I sincerely hope it doesn't happen again because it SUCKS to be DQ'ed for that, but never say never. BTW, the heater looks SUPER!! Derek does awesome work!! Nemo, Jr. just went through the same kind of DQ this past Saturday. But then again, he shoots local matches for free... How much was it that you paid for that Monster Match? Oooops... I did it again. Sorry couldn't resist. Your true friend, Edited October 20, 2005 by Nemo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhunter Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 Very funny! I did it on my last stage, so I got my money's worth. Maybe if I had done it earlier, I might not have been so freakin' tired from all of the shoothing that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
