Ano tech is probably one of the few I would trust. It seems fx anodizing does a good job also from what I hear/see

[skinnyfatguy]

I have had a number of guns done by AnoTech. I have been very impressed with their quality, turn around time, and pricing. Here's the latest one I received back a few weeks ago.

[gunhero5]

Yeah, they nailed that Eclipse bonzai splash pretty spot on.

AnoTech always seems to put out high quality work.

how do you tell for sure if there is an RT valve in your viking without totally disassembling it?

[skinnyfatguy]

You can remove the bolt and look at the hammer.

RT Hammer:


Standard Hammer:

Thanks skinny.. when you pull the cartridge out you can also tell by looking down the tube and seeing the brass color of the valve too right?

[skinnyfatguy]

Yes, that would work too. What I was saying is you should be able to just pull the bolt out and look in the slot that the bolt pin goes into. The hammers are made of different metals and have a distinctly different color as well as slightly different shape. That way you don't even need to remove the cartridge.


As you can see, the robtown (top) is noticeably lighter and a bit duller in appearance, as well as a little shorter.

[Fallinher0]

Interesting. The hammer in my Viking seems like the stock one.. But the valve looks brass.

Turns out the original owner got the valve before the lightened hammer and ram came with it.

thanks. ive got another raw one about done, just need to figure out what barrel and ano pattern to put on it.

[Ruler_Mark]

deadlywind,, if you call them you can get the back annoed and mail it to them for assembly.

[brock_averill]

Ive been debating getting my raw javelin barrel annoed to match my evil M for the stock look, but if Im never going to use it is it worth it? I was thinking of just getting a CP tip matched instead but idk.

[gunhero5]

That would be cool. An old school AKA barrel on a new school M. Might be a cool throwback to the roots.

[brock_averill]

I will probably get it annoed since I already have it in addition to a barrel tip. Whats $10 more in the scheme of things, especially with this project?

[gunhero5]

Haha, at that price, yeah you might as well.

[Evil_racecocker]

What is the material the RT hammer and ram shaft made of?

[Tracker]

aluminum.. just has some kind of low friction coating on it

i need to get my old phone on ebay... i dont wanna

Tracker

[Fallinher0]

Anyone have any idea how much dc would charge for just the ram and hammer?
