Bought a used V1 dust silver Mini for my daughter 2 years ago. She never played with it more than once, so I eventually sold it. Now, two years later, she tells me she wants to give paintball another try and regrets selling the Mini. So I got her another used V1, this time gloss black.

After several issues, a new poppet and new o-rings, the darn thing kept leaking. So this new to us V1 got sold... Only to buy a brand spankin' new V3 Mini

I kept the V1's metal case since these are no longer made and hard to find at a decent price. I've added a computer case screw for easy battery removal, a Rufus Dawg gauge protector, an NDZ TSO on/off and a set of Brazilian wraparound Cocobolo wood grips from Rifle over at MCB:



The (very modest) armory, at least for now. Still need a pistol and maybe another mag:


And of course, a pic of my daughter with her new marker

I love those wood grips. They add so much character to the marker. Did you make that rotor cover?

Actually a friend of mine did it. It's a bit crooked, but does the job nicely.

Hehehe. Kanuck! I smell more business for you! LOL

Nice grips! Those look snazzy!

Well I hope it's something you'd consider doing! I had a Halo B Cadpat hopper cover made by Panda86 of A5OG, but he's been MIA for a few years now.

I'd see Rotor covers as a fine addition to your line! Heck, I'd buy one from you to replace my half-arsed crooked one!

i love wooden grips....

i have that on my automag.... it's wonderful!

Nice job!

Thanks for the comments! THe only thing bugging me right now is the silver TSO... There weren't any gloss black ones left when I ordered, and I thought that the silver would go well with the trigger and feedneck clamp, but in hindsight I should have waited a bit for the black one. Oh well!

I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out. It's fine. Reminds me of a pic I saw in a gun magazine as a kid. Very cool.

Love those grips...awesome!
