    Moving on to different hobbies and interests and it's time to thin the herd of my paintball markers.

    This has been one of my all-time favorite markers in my collection. It currently has air rushing out of the lower tube, hence not allowing it to cycle.

    Obviously, that needs to be addressed to get it firing again.

    My local shop couldn't do the fix and they didn't want to totally dismantle this beauty for fear of damaging it.

    Unless you have the knowledge (and proper tools) to do the fix yourself, I recommend sending it to PPS for the repair.

    I guarantee this bad boy will turn heads and stop people in their tracks when you take it out onto the field.

    So be prepared for people asking questions and wanting a closer look. You have been warned.

    And before anyone asks, I'm NOT going to end the auction early for offers.

    I bought this ages ago from its original owner, who commissioned the custom build. I sent it PPS for some further work (adding the Stabilizer & rerouting air line).

    - Black wrinkle coat finish (some flaking here and there)

    - 17 rd. spring feed. You better have some reload skills with this one!

    - Chrome pump grip does not move - it's just a fixed grip (and it looks bad-a$$)

    - Air source nipple at bottom of stock is non-functioning. I had PPS reroute the air source to under main body mount

    for balance (also added Stabilizer) and ability to use a tank as well as a remote with the ASA.

    - Measures 31.5" from tip of barrel to end of stock

    - REAL WOOD stock with "Palmer's Pursuit Shop Woodsball - Where Custom Still Means Something" beautifully engraved on it

    - Includes sling as shown in pics

    - Great overall cosmetic condition

    - Truly a piece of PB history and a work of art!

    You are an awful person for sharing this..... How am I going to explain this one to the wife?
    I sure hope someone bids on it so it goes well above my budget.

      I remember this from years ago. I think I saw it on the POG awhile back. I don't think that woodsball stock engraving was done on many guns. PPS used to offer free engraving for their logo on hurricanes, maybe they still do.

      I'd buy this up quick if I didn't already have the same configuration.

        I am surprised this only went for $415 and with only 7 bids.

        Did one of you guys score this one?

          I was too, but had to force myself to pass on it. The leak had me teatering on getting it or not. Was one of those "will I actually get around to fixing it" kinda situations.

          I've fixed them.... I've wanted one like this... But that engraved stock was atrociously tacky and I couldn't get into it.

            I just wish it didn't say "WOODSBALL" across the Palmer's logo. "Woodsball" presents a false dicotomy in paintball and is inaccurately used, mostly to describe recreational speedball played under the trees.

              Objection noted. Some of us aren't in a hurry though. What do you call it when you play speedball slowly?

                    It showed up today. I aired it up and got three shots before the stab started venting. The o-rings turned into goo.

                        Old age. Same thing that happens to us all.

                          That would also explain the crinkle finish.
