    So what happens when you have to many guns? Not enough parts to complete them all

    So what happens when you have to many guns? Not enough parts to complete them all & new old parts and new cool new parts in hand.

    You take this RT Classic.


    Change all the parts to this new never used rail set.



    And get this as a final result.




    I’m still waiting on the pneumatics set to arrive. For now the LPR is just plugged & waiting.

    Before you ask. I despise having the tank mounted to the bottom of the grip frame. I have a new top plate for the drop out at the machine shop now. That will allow me to run the LPR internal to the frame.

    Your title is the story of my life...

    I used to do a lot of "T" in the B/S/T sections of sites, now I mostly "S" so I can "B" parts for markers I can't afford to finish otherwise.

    Looks like a MOTM contender to me

    all you need now are some blue grips and maybe a blue tickler to match
    (yes, I have one! brand new... send me a PM if interested)

    It's nice to see a classic RT get such treatment.

    I've always assumed that you cannot laser etch that black finish. Does anyone know if that is right?

    If your refering to the skull & cougar those are silver & white decals not etched. I perfer decals as they dont harm the surface.
    Heres a top view.

    Not a chance. I cant replace the gun with one of this quality. Rails new body is a couple years old & barely used same for the vavle, Theres not a mark on anything other than the drop.

    The stickers are just what brought it to mind. They didn't look exactly like etching, but enough to make me wonder about it.

    I don't think the LPR looks bad where it is, especially behind the power feed.

    Now, there is one minor detail you didn't mention: what to do with the old splash parts. And I have the answer for that:

    Sell it for a Brazilian collector, who will definatelly put it to good use!!! LOL

    PM me if possible, ok?



    Oh, and of course, congrats on the beautifull black euro RT. Never seen a black one before...

    All the "old" parts came out of AGD when Tom retired. The old parts arent going anywhere, I just need to find another body & I can reassemble it. I never gave the black body any thought. Thats how it was when I got the gun from a friend.

    If your wondering the black & blue rails set has been waiting in a box for the last 2 years until I found the right need. Thats what I do with parts I like & where the "old" set is currenty. I seem to have some of the rarer agd parts & plan on keeping it that way.
