I thought those of you who also own an SD5/SD6 might benefit from this...

Those of you who own a SD5 or SD6 know how horrible it is to not be able to attach RIS accessories unless you buy a horribly expensive RIS attachment (like the one at Redwolf - $60). I have made one very easily for less than $10. I bought a standard weaver rail from Sports Authority for $4. I then bought two clamps ($3) that are for plumbing at Home Depot. I'm sorry I don't know what they are called. They are used to tighten seals for PVC pipe and are simply metal rings with a screw that tightens and loosens them according to which direction you turn the screw (you'd know them when you saw them). I simply then drilled a hole about the size of the one in the solid section of the metal clamps, painted them black, and attached them to the weaver rail with a small nut and bolt. After it is together you can simply slip the metal clamps on you silencer and tighten them (I cut the excess metal off the end of the clamp as well) and voila, you have a RIS rail very firmly attached to your silencer. With this rail you can add an assortment of lasers, flashlights and other cool stuff. I do suggest you have a metal silencer since the clamps might stress a plastic silencer and the added weight of a flashlight or laser might break the thin plastic that holds TM silencers on.

The clamp looks almost exaclty like this one in the $60 (also) AE unit.  http://www.airsoftelite.com/images/parts/GG/gg-sdrb_01.jpg I used two clamps for added stability but you could probably use only one as well.

My gun recently broke.  The piston head came unscrewed inside the cylinder.  I fixed the problem, but I'm not sure how the piston head seal was affected.  Does anyone in the east valley have a chrono that I could use sometime?  If so, e-mail me.  Thanks.

Btw, does Chase sell internal parts?

PS.  I know this is under the GBB section.  I thought I was still in the AEG section.  Oops.  If one of you nice admins would like to move this that would be great. <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

I've noticed that most shots I take at close range are centered around my facial area.  Fortunately, that area is also where I wear the most protection.  I've been shot as close as 8 feet or so in the face and haven't had so much as a bruise.  I did get shot in the pinky from about 4 feet at the last game at the ranch.  That hurt (a lot), but no blood.  Although I have seen people get shot from over 40 feet and get welts.  I guess it depends on how tough your skin is or something of that nature.
