The Frankin Marker, A Work In Progress.

z.bart · #1 08-07-2009, 04:40 PM

Well, i got bored so i built this little beauty out of spare parts i had stored away and forgot about,lol. Its basically an old Stingray with a VL grip, Tippmann bottom line adapter and a bunch of odd bolts hence the name "Frankin Marker". It took some tinkering to get the grip on it and
get the sear to work but wallah, it worked

.
It was so corroded i wasn't even sure i could get it to hold air or even fire but after allot of cleaning and polishing of the internals it surprisingly did, and to my amazement it shoots verrrry accurately. I am having issues with it shooting one ball at a time sometimes though (like the hammer doesn't catch the sear and shoots 2 or 3) but i have gotten it down to mainly when its first gassed up after some filing on the sear and cutting down the spring, any thoughts on it would be appreciated.

Edit: After altering the sear a bit more i think i got the multi-shot problem fixed.

Remember, its just a throw together and a work in progress so don't go bashing on it, or me please!

Sorry for the crappy pics

, but here it is The Frankin Marker

nice, I love hackjobs that look somwhat decent.
Im sure even after a bit more cleaning the frame will look like it belongs there.

BTW, it is spelled "sear".

z.bart · #5 08-07-2009, 09:08 PM

Thanks, the frame is more comfortable than the original one anyway which i didn't have, just used what i did have to see what i could come up with.
I added the bottom line after the build just because,lol.

PS,spelling fixed

get a wood stock on that sucker and spring-stick feed it.

z.bart · #8 08-08-2009, 08:57 AM

I was thinking of like a longbow type attachment but never thought of the wood stock, thanks for the idea. I really want to keep it "Frankenstein" looking and fool people into a false sense of security when they dismiss it as nothing to worry about

. I just built it out of whatever i had in the garage out of boredom, having back problems and no job leaves allot of time on my hands, shrug. I have to do some cleaning on the cuts and stuff and ill get some more pics up when i find the cord to my camera, cell pics suck.

Build pics are up now, camera sucks at close ups sorry.

Tried out the 12gram charger for the first time yesterday and wow it packs a punch, looks like i might have to put a reg in line.
