I have only held a dsn 52mm egi in my hands once, and thought although impressive it was a little impractical- the height more than the diameter was the dealbreaker at the time. After seeing a few egis posted here and on hf and getting occasional egi-itis looking at them i re-read one older post and in particular a superb egi build of joe's (neckyzips) with mods to the caseback of a stock dsn egi (removing "lip" on caseback). As with a lot of builds i find myself going back over posts and looking properly at the amazing work done... Anyway after seeing this I got a rush of blood to the head and put up a wtb for a dsn 52mm egi case. Enabler blueradish dutifully obliged and sent on the egi case straight to joe, who made his considerable skills available for the project. while re-reading the thread I noticed some comments by clint, who also confirmed to me that he had also removed the upper lip on the dsn case by hand: the plot thickens.... after some research it would appear that no one has ever done both to a dsn case, but gen images suggested that if it was possible this would be a superb mod. Joe went at this like a tiger, and after three days of machining (he has already told me "never again" so dont ask him! lol) here are some shots of the case from "the lab" case is now considerably slimmer and is now a front-loader (like gen)!!! 3 words.... OMG images courtesy of joe:

1. DAMN! 2. Yes it is 3. So do I

Ah, this gives a better insight and a bit more assurance. Thanks I'll just have to emphasize a bit of patience.

Here is mine

I have experienced the same ill manners from noobs more times than I care to mention and yes it does grind you when there is no acknowledgement let alone any courtesy... indeed you can see that lack of courtesy in the initial PM and you know there and then that this guy is one of those described above....but regardless I still reply..in the hope that maybe I am wrong but mainly because they maybe like that but I aint so i aint going down to that level... BUT..... I have also experienced the same discourtesy from the more senior members on the forums..one of them was even a mod on another forum!! With him I sent some very long emails with diagrams and photos with annotations etc and ..after that ..not a word not a nothing!! And to add insult to injury using my advice he had gone ahead and then posted about all about the research he had done and used all my info to beef up his thread and then took the positive comments.... I dont care if he doesnt acknowledge his sources or that he only achieved what he did on the back of others..that never bothers me but all I would ask is a simple thank you just something to acknowledge the time and effort I put into giving him the best answers I could... So although I agree with the OPs initial comments I dont agree we are just talking about noobs.... I have dealt with a few noobs who have been great in their quest for info and advice.. and just as many ignorant 'senior' members as noobs...and its been like that for a few years not just recently...
