Holy F*ckin Sh*t that is beautiful. I love the breach design and how you integrated that pressure washer handle into the stock so well. F*ckin Incredible.

So far as footballs(first and foremost designed for) go it is... magnificent.I'm not bragging but Goat's gun paled in comparison.Just to give you an idea of the accuracy.I can hit my mailbox with a nerf from my porch.That's about 75 yds. :wink:

Grenades and water balloons are slightly less accurate.But you can still reach out and touch someone with one.

The least awe inspiring would be the shot shells.I had to bump down from a 12 to a 6 rd. shell because the latter would not break on contact.Either way the shells are deadly at 50ft.

Thanks for the compliments guys.So what do you see that can be improved ? Besides sights.They are just about useless with a mask on.

WOW! that is awesome! It looks like a commercial piece. How does the washer handle seal for you? Where is the chamber located? How long was the bondo work?

All right answers:
where is you get stock from? i see you use the same breech as your other paintball rifle
I'll let you all guess on the rifle it came off of.Here are a few hints.Possibly one of the oldest and most well known namesakes in European manufacture during the WW's and earlier.
The breech isn't the same.The old system(goat's gun) positioned a cartridge outside the barrel and the projectile was pushed in to the barrel,then the cartridge was removed before firing.The MCS on the other hand has the cartridge inserted in to the breech and is fired with a cartridge in the gun.
how did you build the stock?
Lots and Lots of JB Weld and Bondo.Then sanding until my fingers were numb :shock:
how many shot to the tank do you get
It averages about 7 good shots(10 total) a 3.5 oz tank.I have to get a drop forward for it to test a 20 oz. tank.
How does the washer handle seal for you? Where is the chamber located? How long was the bondo work?
The pressure washer hisses a little so I put the ball valve before it.It isn't so much a decrease in performance as it is an annoyance.
The chamber is the high pressure hose connecting the ASA to the Valve.

I worked on the Bondo for a good week until I got it to the point of finishing it with a coat of laquer.

I didn't build the stock from scratch but I did finish out an old military stock and blend it into the receiver and trigger group.I made the part from the sticker on the Co2 tank forward.
