  • RAT grip custom handle material

    As you can see in the last pic above and the ones below, it is not a perfect fit right away... Ihad a few spots i wanted to cover and i wanted the rear seam to blend..




    i found this to be very easy to do once the heat issue was resolved...I was able to get the material to move easily using the included glove (wet, they stress working the material with wet hands to prevent burns and keep the heat even)







    Then I textured it up with the glove and shaped the front to my finger grooves :)


    I also used to pieces from the RAT pad to make a nice padded tip for my loading tab.


    I used one piece and melted it down onto the loader, then added a second piece and melted that one into the first, it can be loaded without even a shirt now (although I tore out a lot of chest hair trying and will never repeat that :@




  • RAT grip custom handle material

    I received a very generous tester kit from RAT grips. it included one of their carbine kits and a whole bunch of other stuff including two extra grips and some pads. Right off the bat, my first impression was very positive, not only do I love free stuff, but this was a nicely packaged and nicely put together product and the instructional pics looked quite cool.






    I was going to try to replace the handle on my tito gun as it is all torn up....as you can see from these pics, once I removed the existing handle grip the remaining skeleton really didn't leave me enough substance to grip so I opted to put the RAT grip over the existing one, not sure if that is recommended of not.





    The instructions are very simple, heat the inside of the grip, wrap it onto the handle, grip it, reheat the exterior and then grip it again with the glove or texture rag.
    I had a little trouble figuring out the optimal temperature, I found that having the heat gun set to 550 worked the best even though it is a lot higher than the recommended 2-300 degree range..maybe my heat gun is not giving me the true heat ratings too




  • Mask strap ear pinch

    very nice Dan, and more streamlined than the foam tube.


    who is your coneheaded friend :)


    seems like a great little product to add to the store.


    I know you love simplicity, but people love to buy things...might as well have 'em buying YOUR things

    I sent the housing off to jeff last week, but it was returned to me because I am retarded and printed the shipping label with my address as the TO instead of the FROM.... D'OH!


    I remailed it on monday..should get it today or tomorrow

  • Speargun shooting line Mono vs. Spectra or Dynema

    i have been using q powerline as my shootingline for years and I loved it...I recently found that it can grab onto itself a little too well. I first experienced this when a shot failed to clear the bands because the line had grabbed the wishbones.


    other than this possibility, I find it superior to mono in terms of vis, longevity, lack of stretch, and lack of line memory

  • Nice Mangrove

    damn John, that sucks about the closures...this spill is really scary.
