SP1 Heavy

[Critical]

Woo Hoo!!! Finally got my SP1 back from it's various trips across the country, over 6000 miles of total travel. I call it the SP1 Heavy because, fully loaded, without air in the tank or paint in the loader, it weighs in at 7 pounds. I'll be getting a workout with this guy, however, with the stock, you really don't feel the weight.

Here's the pics:

Obviously, It started out like this, just a lowly old SP1, serial #222

Then, over the last few months, I've slowly added a collection of upgrades and accessories. Here's a picture of most of them:

What's the end result you ask? Well, here it is:

Upgrades:
- Deadlywind Hollowpoint bolt
- Deadlywind Fibur barrel
- Trinity lever lock feedneck
- Trinity aimpoint
- Suicide black rubber suicide shells, wrapped around a stock Halo
- Modified Dark Seoul white swirl grips
- Scenario Dreams Universal T-Board
- Noxx55 tactical stock
- jcurt454 engraved aluminum backplate (engraved with my wife's name inside a heart, awww...)
- jcurt454 aluminum Halo backplate
- jcurt454 foregrip, slotted to match the holes in the SP1 breach
- NW 8" drop forward (needed the drop to fit my 68ci tank
- macrolineguy.com microline, macroline and fittings
- CCM micro rail
- CCM on/off

Obviously, there's still some small things that I need. I need blackout screws for the Halo and I need the raw aluminum parts to go out to anno. But, other than those minor little things, it's finally done and back in my hands for good.

Special Thanks:
- Smart Parts, for fixing my mistakes and making such a fun marker
- jcurt454, for being a machinist "par excellence" and for translating my half-baked, barely coherent ideas into perfect parts that are exactly what I wanted.
- Colin at Deadlywind, for getting me out of a bind
- Damon at Scenario Dreams for an excellent product, installed perfectly
- My wife, for putting up with all of this, and making me pay cash so we have no regrets

sweet ive loved those since they came out

Isn't that the marker that can fire underwater?

[battlechaser]

That's one of the nicest Milsim guns I've seen in a looong while. One of the guys I play with picked up one of these as well. One of the few SP products I actually like. And like me, last weekend he was the only other guy to go all day without a chop/barrel break. Not bad for a gun sans vision. ;)

Just wondering though, is yours loud when firing.. I mean noticeably loud, his sounds like a .50 cal, and thats with a makeshift suppressor.

Well, Sean at SP did do several tests with a stock one. One test was to throw it into a river, fish it out and shoot. The other test, I believe, was to fire it underwater. I highly doubt that I would be able to get away with that with the changes I've made.

XF: Thanks! It really is worth the money if you happen to come across a good deal on one.

Battlechaser: I just assembled it tonight after getting it back from Scenario Dreams. I will report on sound once I get a chance to fire it. Typically, most SP1 users say that it is quieter, so I don't know what's up with the one the guy you know has. Also, the Fibur barrel tends to quiet things down as well. Depending on the sound, I may end up getting a loudener.

Might just be me as I was using my Species that whole day, the one lone Timmy vs Spyders, BT4s, and the SP1. I was the quiet one. ;)

I do want to get a Fibur barrel though, I'm just afraid of tripping and landing on it.. Carbon Fibre + giant,-not-entirely-in-shape-at-all-dude = tears. :(

the only thing I don't like is the ginormous drop forward

[Hossy]

I agree on the drop forward. Its not my cup of tea, but I see why you have it.
It looks really nice. Good job on it!

[Critical]

Yeah, I'm not that big a fan of the drop myself, but it moves the tank out of the way so the stock rests perfectly. What I really wanted was a little drop reverse mounted so the tank would be facing forward, but I couldn't find one that met all my requirements.

Very nice MilSim...
