I was gonna surprise everyone with finished pics of a new mag but that will have to wait. This thing is so beutiful i couldnt keep the pics to myself.

The angles make it hard to get good clear pics, As others have said it looks so much better in person

props to Cougar and XT

if you dont have one, GET ONE!

The body definitly looks better than their first try. I wish the rail looked as decent as the body.

At $300, Id expect them to be cut from AGD Slugs. If anything, I will wait until these get as low as the XT Ripper did on ebay at $200.

Until then, I will be happy with my new Chord. Pure secks, and AGD to the bone:clap:

[BigEvil]

Looking good. Did you get the rail too? I'd like to see better pics of it. Did you polish it yourself?

[LuisV]

Looks awesome Chronobreak....

well to eaches own i guess, the xt ripper was hideous , i wouldnt expect this to drop that low anytime soon unles a very large number is made.

The only AGD parts i need are a valve and sear ;), everything else is gravy

nope the rail diddnt appeal to me, i got a few ideas for rails in the works or i may end up getting one later.

This is the prototype(original) so i assume it was polished a bit, it is very shiny, alot more than my karta when i recieved it.

Im not a fan of E-mag style rails


--il see what i can do for pics, with all the angles and the shiny ness of it its hard to get them to turn out well

[Ninjeff]

WOW that is pretty. Wish i could afford one.

[tymcneer]

Damn you all! You make me want to spend more money than I make... ;)

Fortunately, my credit rating sucks, so I don't have a Visa to sink me into debt hell!

looks like rough edges that still need to be smoothed

[robnix]

I think it looks great, and unlike the Ripper, will hold it's value much better.

[Papa_Smurf]

very cool

[Prezents]

Very nice lines. Nice polish Job!!!

[Dark Side]

I agree, much better than XT's first try.

[Mechanic79]

Looks great, now it just needs a matching battery pack and rail.

What kind of box will this be shipped in?:nana:

[riflemanwi]

thats hot :evillaugh:

[rudz]

gorgeous!!!!:banana:

[Runamok]

I'll give you my first born for it. never mind she can be a pain sometimes.
looks very sweet. I'll agree that these make me want to spend too much money.
Damn self control?

[BigEvil]

Hey Chrono, any updates on this thing?

[CHRONOBREAK]

not yet, still playing with some options.

il have the body annod in a week or so, just making sure nothing else will need anno.

also thought die have a gforce frame by know..

[Ruler_Mark]

where you live we steal from yous :nunchaku:

I concur. The body is pretty nice. But what's with the rail? blech...

[SummaryJudgement]

PsychoBaller, is that pic Sabretooth (your avatar)?

ON TOPIC:

When I was hanging out with Lsrsktr before the last AO meet, he put my Phoenix body on my Karta rail. It looked surprisingly good!

:wthumpup:

[Wickwire]

This would look better with RogueFactor's Wave rail in Emag length. (hint, hint ;))

[PsychoBaller]

SJ: nah... not SaberTooth. It's a one-of drawing of some psychotic demon-faced guy; found searching through countless random Google pics, yrs ago. Thought it matched my personality... errr callsign... nicely... :glare:

I need a nice rail to actually MATCH my XT Ripper Body.

Im worried that nothing is going to match it now.

i know your pain

[TnDeathInc]

ive heard and read that these are having bolt stick like the ripper bodies hit and miss, some work others dont.

i seen and used one that was fine, im hoping im lucky

[TnDeathInc]

i hope you are too there brother!

I am going to try honing mine a bit

Either way i got a 350$ paperweight.

[rudz]

365

[CHRONOBREAK]

ouch...

what problems are you having?

i put mine on a classic and fired it a dozen times and seemed fine, but it still needs anno and i diddnt shoot paint thru it.

hope all is good...has XT made any comments about the problems?

[TnDeathInc]

After about 20 or so shots, it started chuffing due to the bolt sticking in the body on the top. I could see this from the shavings and the rubbing inside the top of the body. I told him about it and he said it must be the rail. I told him it was a new out tof the plastic emag rail.
I treid every combo of rail and vavle ( i hove lots) all with the same effect. If i out a ULE body or AA/MM body the vavles worked fine.

[TnDeathInc]

he wanted me to ship him my brand new rail and the body to let him tweak it. Based on his hit ot miss be absent for weeks at a time i chose against it. I know i wasnt the only one to have problems with the body and this problem. in Cratal's post in AO, looks like he having similar problems with his phoenix, but he chalks it up to it needing annodizing (that will change the tolerances to a better fit :) )

[p8ntbal4me]

Like I said in his thread on the AO,....

,... I will not be buying his products again.

Ive got a Ripper @ Logic thats getting annoed to match my Logic EM Ripper frame.

If the body doesnt work Im sending it back for a refund and the cost of anno.

,...*sigh*,.... so sad.
