Kingman Spyder

[fierymartel]

I've never seen a spyder like this. Any thoughts?

[scottieb]

They are neat, and they do pop up from time to time. No they are not "very rare" and they are not Kingman Spyders. Often they are referred to as the poor man's Westwood.

[fierymartel]

Right? One of the many "clones" produced in the 90's?

[Jonnydread]

Wasn't the build quality on these supposed to be pretty shoddy?

[Morgenstern]

It's a Joker ACE, distributed by Diablo. I had one a long time ago but never fired it. Components were all well machined and anodized aluminum from what I could tell. No idea on performance though.

Part of the old owner's club is still online and describes all the variants: https://varuker.tripod.com/jokersite/members.html

If they are THAT rare, then I’m sitting on a small fortune! I love eBay logic!

[Hobbes]

If only they were vertical feed.

[Spec]

That's what I always thought. Vert feed and a matching foregrip would be so much win.

From a '99 APG.

[The Inflicted]

These were Inferno clones, right?

[scottieb]

Yes.
