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
