Ok, so I was tinkering in the basement and patched up/ rebuilt an old ANS pneumatics setup, and installed it in a 2k2 front block that I had kicking around... and noticed the ano colors matched my Tribal. Oooh...
So I'm now wondering (since I love cockers and am by no means a normal person) just how crazy I would have to be to make a Tribal into an Osiris cocker. I mean, it would almost be blasphemous, except the whole reverse compatibility part...
The front block lines up with the LPR/ AOC hole. So in theory, if I found a way to mount the front block onto a LPC, the end of a TILPR, or a modified LPRC, it would just thread in. The ram almost fits right down the side... nothing a really light mill pass wouldn't fix. A halfblock kit for a cocker would probably fit quite well, and only need modified to take one of Edwin's bolts and a different pin. Or even just go Stroker-style bolt on it and keep it even easier. Run a short microline from the outlet of a PPS Stabilizer to the bottom of the block to supply air (plug the far end of the hole to prevent it from leaking out) to the LPR, and add a E-blade solenoid, with a T-board. And I could have an Osiris-style cocker. Ouch.
So, what would you guys say? Am I nuts, or could this be an interesting time? Should I wait until I can get a Promaster to try it on, or would it be a worth fate for a Tribal? Obviously, the modifications to the Tribal itself would be done last...
It just seems a little too serendipitous that the block not only matched colors, but lined up PERFECTLY. Heck, same extrusion I bet... Dang. Another project to put on the drawing board for the summer.
