This is my new blaster. Thanks to androidandy. He came through for me. Thanks buddy!. This was a old WILCO kit.. I have little to no history on it but i think it looks the part. Now onto the fun stuff...I hand made the grips base plate out of aluminum. Took about 3 hours to fab using a band saw, belt grinder, bench grinder. Boy was this thing tuff.. Kept getting super hot, i felt like i was playing hot potato!!! Some other things that were annoying me was the front trigger and trigger guard, as wel as the lack of "holes?" int the bulldog grip.. I fixed all of those issues to my liking. The trigger guard will be fabricated out of steel later on.. I polished the grips with "BRASO" and as a happy accident I got the nice white lines between the grip texture!! . The LED's and switch are next but i have no source for them or the holders So there ya go.. Tell me what ya think..

Well done Bowelrock! You've captured the well used look nicely. The aluminum handle is a nice touch.:thumbsup Are the triggers fixed or do they pull?

Cheers,
Neil.

Considering the background of this piece I'd say you have done a terrific job here mate!

There are a few things that jump out but it seems you have most of them covered.

Please share your progress. Its always fantastic to see someone take the bar and move it further along.

Wow thanks Fellas. I suppose I should post this over on Prop summit also.. To Answer some questions... The triggers are fixed.. And well i didn't really take any photos of the build.. The right side grip is about an 8th inch short on the top side so it doesn't match, this still irritates me. The trigger guard will be fun i think. One more thing.. I pretty much replaced all the allen heads with real ones.. I will also be adding the white wire up to the sight rod. Does anyone have a resource for the knob above the flat head/weaver?
