My Micro Mods

Post by racking up points »

If you read about my custom 405 build, this Micro was assembled with most of the same principles. I've been gathering up components since the Micro was introduced, long before I even owned one, and I just wanted to share some pics. I haven't had the chance to see what it can do at extended ranges, but it's flung a good 30-40 arrows in my garage. I like it. A lot. I'll post back in a few months after it's been put through the paces.

I'm just feeling happy and content and you come along with your fancy mods and blistering speeds and get me wondering...... :mrgreen:

How did you lengthen the rail longer than the standard micro rail?

Thanks, guys.

Here's some info, but I'll be pressed for time the next few days so I'll be short on details. The rail is a modified 380 Xtra rail. I had the riser and miller bumpers dipped to match. I have Ti hardware for the mainframe-riser, limb-riser and stirrup-riser. The scope is a Leupold Mark AR Mod-1 with the SPR reticle and Firedot illumination. Those are alumina caps, worth every penny IMO. It shoots 17" zombies with a lumenock. With a small fixed BH, like a slick trick, the arrow should be within the stirrup. It has a TriggerTech 2-stage with the red lever. Shrink-wrapped arrow retainer. Mainstreet sold me the original Micro 335 and he had that wrap on the stirrup. It looks like the same stuff they apply to golf club and tennis racket grips. I plasti-dipped the buttstock. I'll post back on this thread after I do some extensive enough testing, but so far I really like it.

Looks great. Notice a lot of noise reduction?

I find the Micro to be quieter than any other crossbow I have ever shot. I didn't really make dampening a priority because out of the box, I found it to be acceptable. Great work on your 380, Steve. Looks awesome.

Derrick. What a nice job you did on your micro! Damn man you have your stuff together. On your avatar you list yourself joining the forum in Aug 2013 ? You have come along way... Really impressive skills. I currently own a Ibex, But will soon be getting myself a m 380 for next season. And I do plan to one of the first things is change out all the screws and bolts, from the trigger to scope mounts to limb bolts,If you could help me with the sizes, and where I can get them sure would be nice, I am just not that familiar with them, I would like to get a larger head size, either torx head or a larger allen head , so they are easier to remove. And if possible in titanium or stainless steel. Any info will be appreciated.
