[cookie_834]

well?

wheres the shockers built from scratch...

the custom anno'd markers

the oddjobs stuck together

have the new markers made it hard to customise?

well i started building a shocker from scratch but couldnt source an eye wire or screw kit so i gave up and sold it as parts

Custom made markers are still out there - made by the handful mad tinkerers with enough knowledge to design and make their own parts.

There's a couple quality anodising places out there, including Slothball (the only guys in Europe I think) ODD and a couple others. Laser engraving seems to be the crazy thing right now, gold plating didn't catch on.

Customising the insides is easier now than ever with plenty of parts for most markers - ranging from lighter rammers, bolts, boards and triggers - and you can install them yourself in most cases. Back then those things weren't so easy to come by and you needed a specialist to install your ACE and wire the Morlock.

As to milling, there's not much meat to cut away from today's guns.

I've made a Shego (still need a noid though) if it comforts you.

I'm also making a Pulse'd Halo, but i messed up the reverse switch.

As for anodising, the increasingly critical tolerances can make the removal and replacement of the oxide layer more tricky.

However I agree that internals are generally much easier to work with while most now cone with an on/off, clamping feed neck, etc. which used to be popular 'out of the box' upgrades.
