So, could someone more knowledgeable briefly say something about what this is, the significance, etc? Thanks!

what do you mean? its a autococking kit for nelsons.
make a "phantom style" marker into an autococker.
rare to find intact, but whos really looking for them? they made them for a little while. the scene went elsewhere. if you want an autococker, you can just buy an autococker instead of a kit to make your gun one

Is it worth that much? You don’t see these often but it seems way over priced. Especially untested it likely needs a full rebuild and who knows how well it worked in its hay day. He sent out offers to people watching it. I still think it way over priced. Is there a market for these?

-Not really, no. It's mainly a collectible, and actually a pretty good example of one, as it's pretty much bone stock.

The kit was originally intended for the Trracer, although because of that, it of course fit a number of other Nelsons. I'm not sure if they were ever sold as assembled guns- if they were, it was some shop buying the kits and assembling them to Trracers. WGP themselves never sold it as an assembled gun.

The one I've used- a while ago- was finicky. It'd work for a while, chop, seem to "fall out of time", and then go back to working.

There's ways you can improve it- adding a detent (which the Trracer kind of has, but it's not great) a better 3-way, an adjustable LPR, a good inline HPR and running it on air, but you're still dealing with recock issues, the one-sided bolt wanting to bind (or the screw constantly coming loose) and the lack of decent barrels.

That one, for a better price, would be best as a wall-hanger in somebody's collection. In the automotive world they'd call it a 'survivor'- it's complete, and in working condition, but is unrestored and original. The only thing it's missing is the pneumatics shroud- which was unique to the kit, and I think even had a thin tubing "spacer" to go around the barrel.

Doc.

Thank you, I appreciate the insight. I really love learning about older stuff but it's tough to find info sometimes
