I feel like I can share some of these here now:

Thank you, Paul!

Thank you very much, Luca!

This is the trap I'll be fixing next. Left Tear Right Tear. Let me know what needs to be fixed (although, I think I see some spots on the photo that weren't apparent prior).

Congratulations Trooper

Congratulations on reaching Centurion-- well earned!

Yeah. My wife and I tried! Don't worry! I'm working on the fixes now. Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk

Bit more work this week, though not as much. The hinge fits both the submicro and normal microswitch. They have a different feel to them. The submicro is very light but the standard is pretty solid. The front screw for the grip is just in the right spot to act on the micro switch. For the small switch an 8mm screw is about right but for the fill size the standard 6mm is the one you want. At least I think, I need to mount the hinge to the under barrel to be sure. The mounting is slightly different between the 2. Both use M4 grub screws, the smaller just one in the middle and on the larger 2 fit into the mounting holes on the microswitch. It's a little more visible than I'd like when the front grip is hinged down but given you'd probably be holding it I think it should be okay. Maybe swapping to a non-lever type could fix this, but may need a little "button" added to the grip. The screws will face "in" towards the body so even when hinged down they shouldn't be super obvious. I also hit a wall with the audio on my effects unit. Basically unless something is already playing the lag on DFPlayer Mini is far too long (between 0.5 and 2 seconds). I spoke with some one who knows what they're doing in this field and they said they spent ages trying to work around this a while ago and didn't find one either, so went another route. So another route is to be taken! I have picked out some new parts, which I have yet to order as they are a fair chunk more expensive than what I was using. Well the main board is about 8x what the nano clone costs, the audio board isn't actually too bad. News when I get further I suppose.

Thanks. Good information to know. I have been in contact with the supplier and am going to try a battery replacement first. I was able to find some on amazon that I can get in time but, as you mentioned, only time will tell if the new one is any better than the original. I am using the original mic and the recommended Acker amp. It worked a couple weeks ago when I gave it a try before coming up with the chest mounting I would use then a couple weeks later just the endless oddity with the operation. Bart

Looking forward to seeing the finish, it's all about the prep work

Wow so exciting for you, I'm looking forward to seeing some photos once you have it back

Just doing black on the inside won’t be enough to stop itch. I’d recommend hitting it up with 80, 100, 200, 400 sandpaper on the inside then use something like plastidip to coat the interior. That should help. It’s not fun work, but it is what I did with my armor when I built it. With the armor paint. Are you prepping it prior to painting? I ask because in its current form there’s lots of little pock marks and things that you’ll likely want to not have getting in the way of the paint process. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

with the black series out.... I thought I would drop in some pro photos of my cardinal.

This is how i did mine.. hope it helps (The scoop I took out of the left forearm was purely to aid movement... some do that, others don’t) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
