			Next to the chamber their is a piece of pipe with an elbow on it sticking up and i am assuming you use this for a handle. How exactly did you attach this to the gun i can't really see from the pics.

Looks like it was a tee* fitting, he just cut half of it away.
*edit: Sorry that's a 90* elbow, not a tee.

			Not too shabby. Did you use clear primer or cleaner?
Last I looked at the rules

   1. The exception to this rule is for proper use of legal airsoft and/or paintball markers.

			That is wicked... Very nice job.
I would consider a black paint job, but that's just me  
 
btw, you might wanna consider changing your title, base45's 
sniper, because Judge will have a fit lol...
but seriously, your using the word "sniper" incorrectly and it just makes you look  :scratch:  

 .
Anyway, very nice gun.

			Very nice job
I think it needs a flat black paint job and a scope before you can call it a sniper though.

How right you are!

Actually it needs to pass sniper school before it can be called a sniper. 

And I believe another requirement for being a sniper is actually being human…
