And by the way, great looking gun!

All I can say is BUY ONE!!!! you will never regret the investment of a solid standby that is very difficult to break. To answer your question about the front grip, it was removed with a hack saw, ground down with 2 diffrent types of hand files and sanded smooth with a few diffrent grits of sand paper. Thanks for looking!

hows accuracy on it though?
and hows that macro working for you?
i ran macro for a little while but it kept bursting on me.. with CO2 and compressed air?
idk if you have same problem but you could try solid steel line : )

Thanks for lookin madman.......accuracy suprisingly remains the same; the two barrells shoot roughly the same distance and spread in my tests as odd as this sounds.

No issues with the macro with HPA or Co2 at all and I have a backup steel line just in case.

Re: Fireguy121's Frankintippmann!
Very nice looking work, but doesn't the open front bolt allow a lot of dirt into the marker?

Re: Fireguy121's Frankintippmann!
What about both? If i find a mod thats gonna make my marker better then ill do what ever it takes, whether its bolt it on or cut it up. I'm all about adding performance and ergonomics to the marker.

Thank you and to answer your question; Not unless you throw it into a pile of dirt.......lol....... but no seriously it makes it very much eaiser to clean and oil so it hasn't been a problem.
