Modded Reo Firebutton

[Alex]

Having the fire button move into the lock position all the time was starting to bug me. so I brought out my file, wacked the top cap into the bench vise. And had a go at making some kind of mark to help me see what position it was in.

Finally came up with this, which I'm well pleased with. Allows me to do a one handed and eyes free lock/unlock. I left a small notch on the top for a top down visual cue. And then sanded and polished everything.

I love it! It is one thing that does drive me to drink!

I just love creativity!

Great work. Many Reonauts do not like the the locking function and pull out the little metal pin in the firing button. Then it cannot lock at all.

Yeah, I thought about that. But I didn't want to lose the functionality. I must say it's damn near perfect for me now. I can't think of any other faults on this baby. Oh, and the Mini Reo is sick as tits .

awesomeness!

Wonderful modification @Alex
Glad you like the Mini!!

Strangely enough, without the button cover it does not lock itself easily.

Agreed but it looks undressed without the button.

BTW - have you received your brass button yet.

I haven't... but you will be the second person to know when it does arrive!
