    Blue Sparkle - Weirdest Stock Class Build

    I got this originally in a trade as non-functional and put it together and it easily became most accurate/fun little shooter around, however I found that I only used it once this past year so time to move it along!

    It's a Half blocked, mini'd, turtle'd, dual pump arm, stock class cocker/sniper. In a ridiculously fun sparkly blue that does sparkle in the sun. I got it running on the Palmer Cart 12 gram reg at a lower pressure (I think around like 330PSI) and it has clipped main spring because the travel tolerance is super strict on the IVG (if it goes too forward then won't be able to chamber a ball). I currently have this chrono'd around 270ish and gets like 25-30 per 12 gram, the other spring makes it like 290ish, and comes with that RTR quad. One thing that happens is the one o-ring used to seal the pump guide rod isn't the exact o-ring that needs to go there so I've had it vent in the past and requires full disassembly to replace. Most accurate shooter otherwise in my opinion with that .678 infamous tightstick

    AND SOLD!














    (this is the o-ring that tends to give out on the guide rod, solid otherwise)






    Also including that rubber run through, because fabric swabs will get caught in the port holes of the tightstick

    Looking for 650 shipped, feel free to offer up, mostly looking for cash at this moment, located in SoCal if anyone wants to do a local pickup as well

    Wow, this seems more of a tinkerers marker, but I’d consider it otherwise. Very cool !

      Same thing essentially Where the back is shortened to hit the edge of the frame, hence requiring clipped spring

        Lawn says differently - maybe he's correct - but IIRC "turtled" used to refer to a specific style of half-block done by a guy by the name of Bob "Turtle" Long.

        They were crazy popular on PBN almost two decades ago. (Such a hurtful phrase, isnt it? Decades ago. I feel so old sometimes.)

        "Midget" refers to cutting the body flush with the back of the frame.

        I had a Turtle MiniCocker that was half-blocked, "Raced and ACEd" (Race frame with eyes) that was an absolute monster.

          Honestly this seems much more accurate in info, I loved those turtles and the videos of how fast those race frames were.. are? I’ll still drool at that sound. Midget it is then with the flush body to the frame!!
