Someone REALLY thinks Lonestar AR grips are worth something.

[The Inflicted]

Wonder if the seller still has them.

they think that because they are!
$900 in grips pulled off $400 worth of markers

That's a cool chart. Tell me more sir.

Seller accounts get access to xtra tools

[Jonnydread]

That's wild, they were a dime a dozen back in the day.

[Painthappy]

Oh damn. I saw that auction and just thought it was overpriced for parts guns. I just failed to notice all the grips were the parts missing. That's funny.

The Lonestar grip craze is one of the wildest things I've seen in paintball.

[Fossilhead]

That's a thing?

[scottieb]

Yes. There is a market for them in the real steel AR world. A $2 grip can go for big money.

[mercpb]

It's almost like JT made them..

Srsly though I tell my wife what 20 year old, sweat-filled used masks go for and she laughs, and laughs.....

[Swedgin!!]

Ah yes. I was talking to this seller a few days ago and he wanted $50 for a VM and $75 for what looks to be a Taso Spartan + $50 shipping for each. Grips are separate🤷🏽♂️

[flyweightnate]

I read the original Lonestar is where the money is, and the Lonestar 2 still isn't bad.

I like them, but at $100+ each, I have been looking at alternatives and might sell one or two off.

The Lonestar grips were aftermarket grips all that SF guys were using. The excess grips were sold to PMI and used on the VM.
Looks way cooler on my A2 than the A1 grip.

Poor vm68s

Call your local rental fleet bucket in a cargo container.

Oh they sell pretty high actually...

You have to use some creative wording in order to sell them but a lot of retro AR builders are really into them due to the documentary about Vietnam era commandos and the fact that their builds always had those grips.

It's basically expensive headbands for gun idiots.

The cheapest one I ever sold was a really beat up and dirty one and I still got 80 bucks for it.

This is hilarious to me…that cosplay at home gun nuts get part of their big man costumes from toy paintball guns.

In the paintball world the Lonestar is one of the cheapest feeling low end grips on any paintball gun…yet you could easily get an aluminum 45 frame and Hogue grip for less that what people are paying for it.

Because…Rambo had one? Who exactly are we idolizing here, SEALs? Dad?

SOG during Vietnam.....

Look if some fudd wants to cosplay I'm here to take their money.
