Unique upgrades or add-ons (post yours)

I'll start.

My friend has a Tanaka Revolver and bb's were hitting the end of the barrel when he shot. So he did two things to fix this that have WORKED GREAT He is using .28 bb's

1. Completely removed the hop up all-together

2.Took out the stock barrel, pulled the barrel out of a cheap $40 hardballer shotty, cut that down to the right length trimmed the tip and put that in the Tanaka.

It's dead accurate, extremely reliable, with an insane fps

i'll need to post pics but,

On my TM M4 i was having problems with barrel wobble, my friend has a CA M4 and got a RIS kit for it.  So after he installed the RIS on his gun we decided to put his CA foregrips on my M4.
The classic army foregrips are SLIGHTY longer than the TM grips and are a little bigger also, just enough for them not to slip right in.  We had to put his classic army frontsight on and classic army delta ring.  We had to file down the TM clip for the delta ring so it would beable to fit the in the slots for the CA ring (the tm slots are slightly bigger).  With a few more slight modifications everything came together perfectly.
No more barrel wobble period, the whole gun feels very solid and looks alot more realistic (considering the CA foregrips are flat black rather than shiney black like the TM).

My dad has a G3SG1 with an almost foot long silencer on the end with a PSG1 barrel through it, and a PSG1 scope mounted on there somehow, all I know was that he sat on the floor one night with the Dremel tool and sanded away at the metal part of the PSG1 that the scope mounts on to. Anyway it turned out nice. Will post pictures as soon as I move out there and get everything unpacked.

I have the KJW MKII Rugar gas rifle. Wen i first got it, i thot it was a little short. So i took one of the silencers from the cheap PPKs that u get from jungletoy with everythin you buy and stuffed it with foam. Then i ground the tip of the rifle down so that it was just barely too big, and jammd the suppressor on. That made the gun deadly quiet and a lil longer. I still didnt like the size. So i spent two months building custom stocks out of walnut. Now my gun is beautiful.

I guess the most unique thing on my weapon is my battrery. I went to Batteries Plus in Scottsdale and asked Mitch to fit a 9.6 volt MiMH @ 1800MAH into the foregrip of my M4. He said "All you want is 1800MAH?" I said "What?! You can fit more in there?!" He replied "Sure, how about 4500MAH? I can get you 8 of these cells for $68."

Well i was just taken back. I left him my outter barrel and foregrip and he built the battrery.  The cells are 4/5 A Sanyo NiMH 1.2volt 4500MAH, wired in a sort of a lower case 'B' shape that wraps around the outter barrel. It's hard to explain but people seem skeptical when i tell them about it, so a battery that big in a foregrip must be a unique thing.

I don't think it should be however. The guys at Batteries Plus know what they're doing and produce a very good product. Go to one and see what you can make.
