Well the website is up and now this forum is up!

I heard that we are going to play this weekend at the sinkers instead of AMI area at 6:30am. I was checking to make sure that was the real plan.
Since I'm posting does anyone know if that Jones store in old town still fills up HPA?
See you out there.

I was wanting to post another topic on "game ideas" but cant for the life of me, figure how to post new topics. If we the users can let me know. Thanks

[Master Blaster]

and yea as far as i've heard the plan is the stinker station this Saturday at 6:30

Just got a new barrel for my A-5 i'm looking forward to trying out

Yeah, I think the Stinker Station is a great place! It's better if we can get a large group. I'm pumped! I think we are all looking for a little change in scenery. Oh, by the way. . . we are starting at 0630! Last week I was sitting there for about 20 minutes before anyone showed up. Besides, it gets too hot too fast during the summer.

Last time I have been there the road was just plain awful, or is it better now? Is there still the two fields? One small bunker like field and the other one across the Train Tracks? I’ll be up there either way. I’m looking forwards to that place. I didn’t get to play there last year.

Stinker sounds great, but I've only played AMI, what is the exact way to get there?
Another question: Has anyone every tried painting their gun camo. I'd like to know if there is a good/bad way of doing it.

[kalabor]

I have tried ways to do it. And each time with paints I have failed. So all I can say is. Primers don’t work, spray paint don’t work. Any sort of acrylic, or oil, will not work. The only ways I have seen that have work is either give up painting it completely and buy yourself a bunch of non-residue camo tape and skillfully apply to it, or Anodizing the metal. In which if its aluminum its very pricy if you want a professional looking job. It’ll be around $500.00 to get a setup since you’ll need white arsenic, iron sulphate, and hydrochloric acid, just to make a black for aluminum. In which mixes do require a pharmacist, chemist and other qualified people to do it.
But the type of Anodizing with Aluminum you can do that’s not all that pricy, is a heck of a lot safer and still looks rather good is a process called “Near-white and matte color imitation anodize” Here it is the process. Dip into solution of 1 tablespoon or more of Lye to 1 pint of water. After a while, it will give a soft etched finish to it. To color the aluminum, dip in a household dye solution. Risen in hot water and coat with a wax or lacquer. Note Lye can burn so be careful with it.
If you have any questions on it just ask. :)

If you have not been told the direction to stinkers, here it is.
Pretty much get on the road that drives near south of Cal-ranch store, I think its road E Gould st. Then head north on Garrett way (HW 30) Which passes the hobby shop and motorcycle shop. Stay on that road for about 3 miles and you should see stinkers on the left hand side of the road near Batise road. Either people will be parked near the back of the stinkers or on a hideous road that is further back of the Stinkers. Hope that helped.
