Well, I have lurked long enough. Time to show you fellas what I'm rolling with.

But first, the classic sniper pic...

I made my ghillie by hand, the good ol' fashion way. The coat is not mil-spec, just a military 'esque type jacket I had laying around. I reinforced the chest and the elbows with canvas. It is mostly broken in, but it could still use a lot of tender love and care (by that I mean abuse, mud, sun fading, etc.)

The ghillie front

The ghillie back

The rifle

This is my rifle, the Maruzen Type 96. I built the gun from the ground up. I got it stock from Redwolf just about two years ago. Now it isn't quite stock.

It has the following...
-Laylax Zero Trigger
-Laylax Teflon Cylinder
-Laylax Cylinder Head
-Laylax High-Power Piston
-Laylax Power Accuracy Cup
-Laylax Spring Guide
-Laylax 150 Spring
-PDI Hop-Up Chamber
-Prometheus Soft Bucking
-Prometheus 650mm Tightbore Barrel
-King Arms Suppressor
-King Arms 3.5-10X Replica M3 Scope
-Many sleepless nights

Thanks for taking a look. I am sure there are more pictures to come. Feel free to comment.

Everything is nice to me besides the barrel length IMO.

I think I already hqve proven that a longer barrel is lessaccurate in several posts. Whetwr ormnot you beleive in the cushion or air or the bounce method. So dont get cheeky lol.

Haha, I know, just it's funny that you bring it up whenever possible. It's cool though, cause I agree with the barrel length thing.

But yeah, some ghillie close ups would be sweet!

Well I do try to illuminate the less aware.

Well that is very noble of you. For that you have my utmost respect. And plus one in karma.

Sorry for the lack of response. I haven't been on in awhile.

Ghilliegan- My rifle shoots around 465-470 with .2's, and I can usually hit a man-sized target at about 75-80 yards. There are the usual fliers, but it is mostly consistent. I am still experimenting with BB brands and buckings. So, I hope to improve shots.

I am thinking of getting the 170 spring (if you are going to spend $1000.00, take it to the limit, am I right?). Like I stated, I am also going to get the shorter barrel. Hopefully that will improve some things.

Don't get me wrong, the gun is amazing as it is. But I am a perfectionist.

You can never be perfect with a smoothbore barrel and round ammunition... Still nice though.
