I love #426 and agree with AG the stainless catch cups are nice touch and I love my stainless switch!

Oh, it's very simple, I just had to add a tall catch cup to fill with juice and submerge the atty and the feed bottle tube goes to the bottom so when you squeeze it pumps it to the cup. I don't like it as well as tilt, but some are sold on it.
Here are the last 3 of this batch, two have the recon-stone inlays in them. I ran out of VV parts tho, so it will be next weekend b4 they are ready to go. Pity...
I must admit, even if I don't like the stand n shoot as well, the SS catch cup is pretty on top, especially with the new matching SS button. Thanks!
I think it looks awesome!
It should help some of those people with reservations about learning something new and different.
I didn't have a problem with the tilt n shoot either, but this seems to be more the standard.
Ok, let's see if I screw this up or not. These are some of the newest batch, they are all VV because I accidentally put the adjustment hole in all of them.
Price with the new SS Switch is $165 to offset the cost, sorry
There are two boxes that are Stand 'n Shoot, they are the ones with the SS Drip wells. It was asked that I make some of those.
They are a few days from shipping, they all need 2 more coats of finish, so it would probably be tues/wed before they ship.
If you want one, just PM me the number and I will hold it for you or post here the number and claim it, heh. The rest will go up on the website this week.

Bringing up to new page
I'll keep making them, come monday I will order more VV parts, switches and SS cups to finish this batch and get a start on the next. I sold more VV kits than I had planned, oops
Arr. I know it's here in the thread somewhere for the mk 4, but I can't find it. How wide are #426 and 427 ?
I have it posted on the website, but as I recall they are 2.6" wide, 1" deep and 3.8" high with variances like thickness of end caps after sanding.
btw, with the VV board I'm pretty much at the limit of how small I can make em.

True...True...
I have a RSM VV and another woody VV...
Both are the same volume...RSM is wider...the other is thicker...
You have to put the parts in there somewhere!!!

The ss catch cup is by far the way to go. Looks sang good.

Sure, either way. It's all in the bottle, if the tube runs to the bottom of the squeeze bottle you don't have to tilt, just like a spray bottle. For tilt and shooooot I just don't put in the long tube in the squeeze bottle, ya? Yaa !
Course the SS cup is glued in, so is the atty so I can't retrofit one for a SS cup
Hmm, y'know I've been vapin like a swabby with his britches afire on this tilt n shoot model for almost a couple months. I've absently mindedly overfilled it a bit several times but I have yet to see a single drop inside or outside.
Anyone encounter any leakage and if so do you know how it happened? So far I'm pretty happy with the simple sealed design.
Yarrrr!
