I have seen some SPR builds on Lightfighter that have the rail coveres done up like that.  From what I can tell its just a camo paint substitute so they dont have to paint their $2k rifle.  Rick

Well, not really an error, but the SR47 is missing a trigger guard and flash hider.

Something interesting is what you've done with the rail covers on the Mk12.  I've seen guys doing that lately, and can only imagine it's for some type of camoflage.  

I see the tan reciever on that M4, but do you have any painted AEGs?


Got the idea for the rail covers from a magpul ad of the SPR/A somewhere.

The stuff you see in that pic is all my recent projects for this month--I'm not finished with some of the guns, especailly the SR-47. I'm waiting on a magpul trigger guard and an AK47 flash hider. I'm still wating on a lot of back ordered real steel components from GG&G (34 days now), PRI,and Daniel Defense. I contacted A.R.M.S. to see if I could get the rail sight and tri mount for the LR300ML. Today, I ordred a few KM barrels, Hurricane KA body for another project...second thought, I think I have too many things going on here...this should take me well into next month--

It also protects your rails so any optics will retain their zero.

This leads me to believe you know something about shooting.  Which means you have some gear.  Let's see it!  

AEGs are neat, but if you have a collection of nylon that matches these pics, I'd love to see them. 8)

Wow - interesting thread for sure...

If you've got all the stuff, money, cars, businesses, computers and toys you've referred to since you've been here, I've just GOT to know why you're using AOL when you post some of the time.   :p

If you have a Ferrari, Aston Martin (among others), you should also have a security system that rivals that of a military base, and simply posting a picture of toys on a peg-board shouldn't have you all up in arms.

I think what's most unusual is that you flat-out lie about your age on your profile (99?) before you even post here and then make some rather exotic claims and expect everyone to blindly believe you while you use the classic argument of "I don't have to prove anything to anyone" as your basis.  Of COURSE everyone's going to doubt you.

Personally, I don't care, but I can tell you this:

1 - Right now, I don't believe a single word you have said.  All I know about you is what you've posted, and you started off with lies and exscuses; can you blame me?

2 - I would believe you if you posted a picture of any single one of the previously pictured airsoft guns along with a piece of paper on which you write "Eat that Paco!" while you have the airsoft and paper sitting in front of the wheels of one of your exotics...  you can even pick which one.  I guarantee that I won't be able to tell where you live by the picture of your Aston Martin's wheel.

Many of us use AOL as a safe haven; sure, I could also use a host of email address' of 400 or so domains I own listed with Verisign. I could also use you my corporate extensions as well...it nice to stay anonymouns, isn't it?

Any teckie would say AOL is a waste of time & money when you can just run your T1 thorugh your own ISP and skip the online service crap and get all your data from MSN or Yahoo, right?

Well, news for you: not everything I do has to make sense to you.

Qustion: Do you know why people like myself don't socialize with people like yourself? You would never understand if I explained it to you...But it has to do with attitude and perception.

Paco, I don't know about you but I think you have a lot of making up to do in your life....And, your're definitley the type of person I wouldn't want to get to know....good luck in your life endeavours...

Then why did you post that you have spent $20,000 to $30,000 in airsoft , in a thread that no one else had responded to, and that had been dead for three months?

Gee whiz, it's that type of statement that makes me think you are full of lies all over again.  

Why do you insist upon hiding behind the "I don't care what you think (although I am willing to attempt to prove myself to you), I am superior therefore I have nothing to explain" attitude?

Clearly, you are interested in our opinion of your posts thus far.  If not, then why keep posting?  I'm not trying to run you away, I'm simply telling you to get over yourself!  

You see, the problem has arisen from your very first posting, and the fact that one of the fisrt pieces of information you provided (age) was a lie.  What kind of person would want to hide behind lies from the start?  The answer is someone who I do not wish to associate with.  That is why I did not respond to your email.  

Now, if you would like to discuss airsoft, gear, and other interests of yours without revealing your apparent inferiority complex, be my guest!  I enjoy seeing other peoples collection of military and airsoft equipment, I just don't want to have to sift through several posts of BS to get there.

It was my first time vistiing and I was going through the threads; didn't realize nor did I pay attention to the dates---didn't think it was all that important. And! didn't think about the magnitude of the reprecussions of posting $20K-$30k would have...0My mistake to to take things for granted, am I forgiven? Sure would like to discuss something airsoft sometime, didn't know that I joined the Geneva convention when I registered.....

I think you all need to get over me and stick to airsoft related topics if you don't want to hear the superiority attitude responses to the lame accusations...this IS AIRSOFT ISN'T IT?  There you go again, insulting me...you're on my sh-t list....ha!

Sure is, and that anonymity, coupled with the claims you've made - it brings everything you say into doubt as you have presented it.

What you just said, makes no sense (and this, coming from someone in the IT industry).  The only thing I could pull from that was that you are insinuating that you own an ISP.  Care to rephrase?

I've been in the community long enough to know that your position is typical of people/kids who want to make themselves appear to be more than they are or have more than they do, and then when questioned, the veil of anonymity provides you with any excuse you want or need.

You seem to be the one who opened the door and now you don't like it when people want to see what's inside.  Go figure.

I still can't figure out why you continue to use straw-man arguments in your discussion here.
