The "ShortStrike": A Minimized, Elite-ified LongStrike

A few weeks back we got an email asking if we could build another elite-ified LongStrike, and it we could make it more pistol-like buy lopping the front off. We said yes (duh). I give you (what has been done individually but probably never together) - The ShortStrike. It's nothing short of a modified Retaliator though (haha, punny).

Specs:

• Front minimization 
• Retaliator internals transplant
• OMW 2x spring and 2x catch spring 
• Stock quick-lock mod

We're sending it back to the owner, who wanted to do his own cosmetic work, but we beautified that hole in the front end up pretty well. There's also some process and comparison photos here, but it's all the finished at the bottom. Also, only one half of the priming bar was sent to us, so that's what is pictured.

Elite-ified internals, pre-minimization.

End result.

Mass Effect N7-themed Rayven

Well, we finally got this bad boy out. It sure was a hassle and seemed like one thing after another kept going wrong with it (especially when trying to order the decals). Anyways, the guy who commissioned this is finally receiving it back after it has been sitting in my garage for the last 2 months in various stages of completion. I feel like the weathering looks a bit off, and the clear coat lightened the black coats by a lot, but it turned out well overall. We like it, we hope the owner likes it, and we hope you like it too, as we move into more detailed cosmetic mods moving in the future.
