Nasty spray paint job, and said it was leaking. So I take it apart.

Yup, there's your leaking problem.

Seriously, clean your gear.

Yeah the blue that you can see still on there, just ignore it, it's gonna be gone :)

Another Spyder saved from the trash. Yes, I do take pride in that. Lol. ;)

Thanks for looking ;)

Dude, that is sick! That is the true spirit in a Spyder, they are never useless! When I saw the first pictures I really did doubt for a while that it would turn out any better then passable. But seriously man, nice work!

[fatkidfrompbaz]

For $10, it is a good deal plus it really looks nice now

[Ace24]

I kinda want to go do that now. Good find on that trigger frame though. Those "Classic" Spyder single trigger frames are hard to come by today. I had one on my MR1. Very nice feel for a milsim. Looks like the beginning of a Dragonov maybe?

[buffblackbird2002]

Applause is indeed in store!!! great job. good save.

[TheDarkShadow]

nicely done!

[05XXTRAA]

how long was it when its fully assembled and nice job looks great

[ForeverSpyder]

32", stock is 16" barrel is 12". Stock turned out to be about an inch or too longer then perfect for me, but it's still very comfortable.

that is the best $10 gun i've ever seen lol

[rayray88]

Man you got a deal! I mean I think I payed that much just for the trigger frame alone! Nice work too!

[Sgtcervantez]

Looks like a Thompson! Very nice.

[OneShotKill]

Looks like a Thompson! Very nice.

but i will agree with everyone else...that thing is sweet
