I am working on a project SL-68II right now trying to figure out everything I want to do with it. I do not want a stock but want it to be rather unique. Right now filing it smooth and going to shine it up with aluminum polish but looking for ideas and of ways to make this thing look different and interesting yet very clean.

Stickfeed w/ ball gate.
If you could mod one of those old Lapco drop forward/stocks (http://www.pbreview.com/products/reviews/2087/) and mount a 3.5 ounce tank that would be pretty pimp.
An after market barrel would be cool, especially if you could pull off the APEX mod for it.

I'd be pretty tough to pull off, but I once saw one of these with a Hawaiian style bottle, and it looked sick. Whatever he did, there was some amazing fabrication at work, because it looked factory. The bottle still came out of the grip like it normally does, it just came out the front, down below where your hand would rest.

I don't think I will do a drop or anything like that but cool idea. I want a stick feed system, but no clue where to get one. Any idea where to get a decent one or how to make a decent one and what is a ball gate ?????
Also looking at that stock I already know how to easily mod it to fit onto the marker, not that hard to be honest. If I could make it quick disconnect thats a fun idea.
As for barrel, I will be ordering up a J&J for it for sure. Another idea is to custom make a new pump handle. I think I can easily get my brother to make one up for me at his work place, as long as the boss an't working that night.
I am also thinking of completely cutting the small rail of the thing to make it even cleaner, already taken off the raised SL-68II text on the thing.
Any other idea are welcome. O also thinking a custom trigger on the thing
If you have or know of any pic's of modded SL's please post them up, all ideas welcome as I want something rather unique
But there is one interesting one, completely removed the original tank asa and filled it in, nice work, but its not shiny just smooth.

White Wolf Airsmithing has stick feeds, as well as all kinds of Phantom parts that could prove useful.
A ball gate is the thing on the end of the stick feed that allows you to load paint into the feed, but won't let it fall back out. CCI calls it a "cap". You can see it on the ends of these tubes:
