Check thrift stores for deals but the best new machine is the Thompson mini walking foot, I started on that machine unitl I broke it.

CB zipps is rough. Check here: http://www.zippersource.com/choices/

There is no tool needed, just some well trained hands.

thanks alot.  I have been thinking of alot of ideas for Pouches that I'd like but they just aren't being made or they are too expensive to buy for airsoft.

I have alot of time on my hands here in Africa.

that stuff is plipping amazing, you could make a fortune off of that stuff, i hope you sell it resonably, i'd buy some of that in a flash!i like the comment on the pringles too lol
but on a serious note, you could start a little sales thing and make a small fortune

C. Lauchner and A. Woolsey, are you the same person?

Assuming you are taking to Ganef, he has been selling gear for quite a while.

Unless you make a lot of gear, it's can be difficult to recover your start up costs.

Actually he didnt buy the gun and i have proof that he didnt and that i did since i have the reciept of purchase from airsoftgi.
but trust me we are two totally different people. we just chose to name our accounts in a similar fashion. my real name is Collin Lauchner, his is Austin Woolsey. if you dont believe me then atleast try and maybe look us up on myspace...

A magazine would be considered "gear" ?

Heres less than 60 mins work on a Magpul PMAG modded by me to house systema mag internals.
