    Default Corbin's new Hybrid MHS/1.25

    That sucker looks sweet with the claws.
    Looks great overall, but I love the claws on it.

    And the second emitter, wit the LOOOOONG taper, is that a custom or a soon to be released?

    I like the o-ring/shrink wrap idea for the grip.

    unless my eyes decieve me that looks like a #5 with the bottom chopped off and an o-ring between it and a #7. Perhaps an extra set screw or 2
    pretty schnazzy anywho
    FSM What's on your belt?

    Corbin that first pic blew me away. I love that idea. How did you get the orings to stay in place when putting the shrink wrap over them and where did you get the shrink wrap?

    Maybe that would be an option for the store for the 1.25 sinktube sabers.

    i've done a similar grip with heatshrink and poly washers

    Works great, and hold's a PVC overlay pretty well

    Very very shiny!

    I was completely unaware that they made shrink tube that large, that is a discovery that has all kinds of interesting applications, Thanks!

    Thanks guys
    For those that missed it, here's a quick review of what they're talking about:










    As mentioned, it uses a 1.25" sinktube and MHS parts, O-rings and shrink tube. The one emitter was indeed a number 7, but the Obi styled emitter isn't a number 5. It's a separately machined piece that locks onto the blade.

    That is one great idea, with the heatshrink.

    Dude, Corbin, that is awsome! That shrink wrap worked wonders. Where did you get it? Also that long tapered emitter better be available soon . Once again Corbin has out done himself.

    It's nice to be appreciated.

    I don't know if TCSS will be carrying this type of emitter or not. I doubt it though. This particular one is a separate piece that secures to the blade and comes out with it. I doubt if TCSS will want to carry that. I personally like the feel of it.
