GBA Ego #3 - Review

I recently got my 05 Ego completely redone by gruntbull. The process was professional and well organized from start to finish. Todd replies to quotes and questions right away, and even gives you his cell phone number should you have any questions you need to ask by phone. You are updated along every step of the process from when GBA gets the gun to when it leaves their shop. I even got a teaser picture of my gun after milling, but before ano. The turnaround time was exactly as predicted and quality of work is absolutely amazing. The milling is so awesome that one of my friends even said it looked like it came like that from the factory. The ano is as shiny as can be. But enough talk, pictures!









Not only the milling, but the ano is also special on this gun. Depending on the lighting, it changes colors. Outside in natural light it appears dark pink, but in doors in lower lighting conditions it is a very deep red. It was originally supposed to be the Bushwackers SL66 color, but I think this color is even hotter.

Some pics that show the redness, from gruntbullanodizing.com :




My only gripe, like I said, is that they didn't get the exact color that I wanted. I originally requested the color of the Bushwacker's SL66, and in certain lighting conditions it is right on, but outside it's unmistakably a dark pinkish red color. Don't get me wrong, I love the color, but it's not exactly what I wanted.

Overall I give GBA a 9.5 out of 10. Great job and thank you to all the guys at gruntbullanodizing.com

Light=color so that is probally why it appears to change color. The lighting will cause for more color to be given to the human eye. The GBA look great, but just arn't my style, btw how much weight is milled off?

Oooh nice! Love that color, and the gloss is outstanding. One of the best EGO's I've seen.

Ey...give some credit to the photographer too.

I've been talking to Todd from GBA and review is going to be updated in a little bit.
