Hi guys quick question. Is the zimmerite
On the taigen late tiger molded on the turret or is
It a stick on type that can easily be removed?
Would like to do the Zim myself. Cheers

Good afternoon,
I believe that it is molded on.

I recall peeling mine off the Taigen Tiger turret? Lift up an edge and see if it comes off..I think it is rubbery and glued on.

HI ALPHA hope you are well &
Yea! it's been a while, glad to be back.
I want to replace the metal turret on my metal taigen tiger with a plastic one because it's easier to mod than the metal.
Imex are having a 20% sale so I was just thinking

I have the first one running now w a Clark board, I impressed myself that I actually got it to work so far

I would say go for it....these sales only come once a year for some retailers...may as well take advantage


Good to see ya back Mark...hope all is well with you and yours as well

PS. Do you think you'll be doing a "Show Off" for your first Tiger or maybe post it on the Tiger Thread ...........

Good evening,
Rubber Zim? It felt rock hard and molded on to me when I looked at it on a Taigen tiger turret. Wonders will never cease! Stuff is just getting better ;o)

Why don't you just get the late turret with the zim already on? I think it's the same price. Hmmm, just looked, no late turret! Well, unless you buy airsoft recoil. If I were you I'd call Erik and see if he has the late plastic turret. I'll bet he does, and that would save you a lot of work. Of course, it's just rubber sheets of zim epoxied to the turret. I think they used to offer the zim kit, so there's another reason to call Erik. You're in the US, Mark, so if you're not in a huge hurry I'd call Erik on Monday morning. I haven't seen anything that says when the sale ends, but Erik will usually extend at least a couple days for forum members.

Wait a minute, you want to get an early turret and do your own zim, Marc? I have a couple extra turrets laying around, are you doing IR or airsoft? Maybe we can get you going for more like 100% off.

I really need to read these things more closely before I start shootin' off the mouth.

Max Hi. What I was thinking is getting a taigen IR plastic early turret and converting it to a mid production model. The metal turret is cool , but a bit heavy and I want to mod it and find plastic much easier to work with. I
