Looks good man. Nice job.

[Ajak]

really clean...

[battlechaser]

Suck gun man - nice to see you got a frame that matches the fade! :D

[SpyderMan723]

needs 360 reg!!!!

I actually had to strip the anno off the back portion. It used to be gold.

ewww.... raw alluminum will look terrible after 1 day of play...

[Daigz525]

did you coat it at all or is it just raw? Ajax is right, it will be in rough shape after playing with it...

[siege1]

The raw aluminum will hold up well against the rigors of playing. This isn't the first gun I've done this way and as a machinist I've seen firsthand how well aluminum really holds up. I think the anno that they put on guns is more of a soft anno which works for cosmetics but isn't as durable as people like to think.

[Ajak]

i know that the construction will hold up but the pretty sheen of it will die quickly and anno is very weak and imo scratches a bit too easy

[Daigz525]

Good to know! I'm interesting seeing how it looks after a few weeks of play! Nice marker regardless!!!

[dlabahn30]

looks great. IMO it looks good without the gold
