    WTB: Rebline paintball guns or parts!

    I am looking for all parts and guns rebline related.

    In my current rebline gun collection. I've got 5 of the 7. I will be interested in anything and will buy it, but definitely looking for the missing two pieces.

    Looking for 115N, 115R, 145N, 145R barrels / guns. Also any color anno REB anything.

    Nothing is off the table. Anything Rebline, hit me up.

    PM me please! I'm filing this current pursuit under the hardest thing I have ever done in the paintball world. The Rebline line of guns has completely eluded me after all these years and I'm going to spend the next few trying to finish it.

    Thank you for hearing my plea. Your contribution could help generate a lot of happiness.

    Will keep the photo updated as we (hopefully) find more!

      I remember seeing these ads in APG and thinking "those are really pretty guns."

      Good luck with your hunting!

              See....

              Completing the mundane is harder than finding unicorns it's somewhat fun.

              Last year I sought out buying a specific era of brass eagle stuff but had to be new in box.... Why? Because I ended up with a store shelf standee. Lol

                Yes, exactly this.

                I can't fully describe it. I picked an interesting, but mid-par gun that has no real value, but the sheer lack of history and lack of any interesting in them (and probably well founded) is what made them interesting to me.

                What makes it even harder is that a lot of marketing was done in the magazines back then. This means they were testing the waters with an advertisement. In that ad maybe the only one of its kind. Just because you saw it in an ad doesn't mean a company sold many, or heck, ever sold any!

                I find the challenge fun and fascinating. Most can track down a unicorn eventually and beg someone long and hard enough for them to sell it. But to track down something no one gives a damn about.

                The game is afoot!

                    I remember they came out right at the perfect time. Before that, you have no mid-range guns. Just the upper-range, bushies, snipers and phantoms. A $500 setup in 1989 would be close to $1300 today with inflation.

                    And the entry level- Splats, Nelspots, and PGPs. Most players were limited to buying these.... then customizing to squeeze out performance. But it was very difficult to make the jump.

                    Then around 1989, all those wintec clones flooded the market- Razorback, Thunderbolt, and Rebline. The rebline was the "best" according to the ads at least. Tight bore and quick detach pump. I ended up getting a "Nasty Boys Super Intruder II". Another wintec clone... I bought it just because I loved the name. But the metal was so soft, all the threads were stripped by late summer.

                      The Wintec clones were everywhere. I would love to put together a list of the clones, but between what they did and all the "private labels" out there, I'm not sure where to even start.

                        Have you posted this wtb elsewhere? (Facebook, ‘nation, reddit?)

                        Or would that take too much from the hunt?

                          Sorry didn't catch this question earlier... I haven't posted on Facebook as I don't have an account and I have a feeling the other two places would be more or less pointless. It's really just trying to get word out that I'm looking and that someone, somewhere who knows I'm looking will run across someone randomly selling one of these.

                          I think of all the guns that were popular but rarely come up for sale. They're just sitting in someone's closet or basement.

                          All we can do is just hope there was more than just 1 made in some of those colors. We know they made at least 1 for the advertisement, but really no guarantee they actually made more.

                            I know my cousin has a minty green 145 just sitting in his bottom dresser drawer, right next to his holstered back up splatmaster... not even joking... has not seen the field since 1989.
