    Weirdo "phantom" allegedly a Skip Swift custom nelson

    To be honest I cannot confirm a 100% if that is the maker of this crazy thing. The history that I do know is a little bit cloudy it came out of Connecticut from eBay from a field who had a guy come in and dump his father's gear. There was two of these sold this is the more dramatic of the pair the other one is floating around here.

    The body is unibody and unique flat bottom with a weird asa that has a velocity knob built into it.

    The internals are completely phantom compatible however the frame was modified to fit the weird body. The pump handle and barrel are off of wgp sniper 3 I think the whole thing is very weird though.

    $450 shipped usa only!

    No trades as I am currently slimming down my display collection.

    Amazing, whatever it is. The only thing that looks %100 Phantom is the grip.

          Looks like they were sick of double feeds and down the barrel velocity adjustment and wanted to improve.

              -Heh. That's a big chunk of the reason I got into this biz. I looked at half the 'upgrades' shown in the magazines and said "Hey, I have a milling machine and a block of aluminum- I can make that!"

              Thing is, there was a time when a gun like that- unique mods, garage-shop custom, DIY, etc.- made you the coolest guy at the field.​

              If you had some rare cammies to go with it- like Soviet paratroop or whatever- you were King of the Field® no matter how good or bad you were as a player.

              ... I kinda miss those days...
