This is another one of my minis. I know a lot of people on this site have been telling me to spend more time on a gun to make it more clean and professional. The reason I haven't done this is because I'm saving up to build a nice copper pneumatic. So this is a gun I built while I was bored at home, and I hope you like it.
This is the whole gun in its glory
