Hey guys... ran out of ink as I was printing the first shipping label and had to go down and buy new ink, so missed the mail for today. But those who have paid will have their tracking numbers emailed to them in the next few minutes and then I'll drop them at the post office in the morning.

I'm also shipping all of these insured for the full purchase price.

If you don't have your tracking number by 9:00 EST, PM me and I will provide it to you.

-Shawn

Glad to hear, Anders!
One correction, though... My postal service doesn't offer insurance on international orders unless you pay for the most expensive shipping (which is almost as much as what I sold these for), so I wasn't able to insure the international purchases, sadly.

I'm sure they'll arrive just fine, though. If something should go awry, I'll work with you to make it right.

FYI: I used customs declaration "Steel Rod for Model Kit" which is accurate without indicating any relation to guns, for those of you in places with strict gun control laws.

I would like one of these but are the a hard job to fit as I don't want to screw up my new blaster.
Do you have to take the blaster apart like in the photos ?

Yes, the barrel will have to be sawed off in order to fit the new steel barrel....

Hey Rambo,

The barrel does need to be cut off, but it's not too difficult. You essentially just need to saw it off a quarter-inch or so from where the frame starts and then file down the remainder of the barrel until the frame is flush where the barrel was. Then the new barrel just slides right in the hole. If you don't think you'd be comfortable doing that, then you probably shouldn't buy one of these. It's not as scary as it sounds, but some trepidation is definitely understandable.

Of course, you might be able to find someone willing to make the modification for you.

So, I ended up getting tonight off of work, so I used that time to get these knocked out.

They're machined and every single one has been test-fitted. Some of them look a little rough in the picture, but once I get them to the final clean-up stage, they're all going to look beautiful.

I'll get them shiny and pretty tomorrow (monday) night and ship out paid orders on Tuesday.

After that, I'll ship each barrel as soon as I receive payment.

There is still ONE that is not spoken for, so speak up if you want dibs.

Thanks,

-Shawn

Right so all you do is take the top off 3 screws at the front and 2 at the back then saw the barrel off and insert the new one ?

How much are these ?

If your kit is already assembled, it's really recommended that you take it most of the way apart to avoid damaging anything when you're cutting. You can keep the triggers on with no issue.

Of course, that's at your discretion. Take off what you're comfortable with, remembering that you'll need to clamp down the blaster, which could hurt some bits, depending on how you clamp it.

I'm selling these for $100 each. The first 7 are already spoken for (last one pending) but I have materials coming to make 5 more.
