Arch27 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 http://www.foxflier.com/lewis/ Came across this in the FISD, wondered if you all had seen it. I'm not all too sure on it's durability, to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBatch Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 It looks pretty good, but the 0.06 plastic seems like it would be a little soft to load a big heavy PVC tube barrel into it. I could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIVE Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'd get a gun from Wolfman or someone that makes good solid ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out Step 11: http://www.foxflier.com/lewis/FullLewisAssy.pdf Yeah. I use 1/2" dowels in my garden to support my tomatoes. I don't feel great about using it as the skeleton for a trooping BFG. I'd get a gun from Wolfman or someone that makes good solid ones. I think I'll be using the amazing templates for pandatrooper's T-21 build. That thing is the bomb.

DirtyBoy Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Thinks looks like a familiar piece from back in the day. It was made from cushman paintball or something like that. The products were complete garbage. Go for a MEPD builder and you'll get a much better product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Yup..... Cushmanpaintball was the company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Versku Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I've had my T21 for over 2 yrs and before that it used to belong to Smally. I believe it's a Cushman and it is in fact lighter than and easier to troop with than my E11.. I've trooped with it over an 8hr day and it's extremely sturdy but that may be due to the inside being "filled". I would need to investigate that but anyway, if mine is a Cushman then I can't recommend it enough. I've borrowed someone else's resin DLT19 and another's heavy wooden T21. No way I can troop with those. This thread is reminding me to purchase another ! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadSword Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 My buddy got one of these. It is VERY lightweight, as in lighter than my Hyperfirm DLT19. If you're on a budget it's not a bad option, but it's not the sharpest pulls you'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCman Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Where would one find the templates for the t21 of pandatrooper's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBatch Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Where would one find the templates for the t21 of pandatrooper's? Here you go, mate. Bottom of the first post has a link to the templates as well as a fairly comprehensive list of materials just before the link. http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=6618&hl= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCman Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Awesome. Thank you sooooooo much. Time to go sort and pick up some goodies, get building, and get dirty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
