Just got this thing on the mail. Some of you may know where it came from. π I don't have any experience with Nelson based pumps. Does this thing have to be aired up to cock. Sorry if that is a stupid question. Can't wait to shoot it.

Yes it needs to air up to cock. As to where it comes from, when a razorback and a trracer love each other very much⦠-

Radar Mark 2000 vs the Razorback III.
A bore drop nelson pump from Radar Marketing, I believe the Radar Mark 2000 was machined in Arizona around 1992-1993, but some scanned ads Iβve found online show Radar Marketing based out of Tennessee?
I'd been looking for a removable barrel body to assembly a WWP Razorback III around and noticed some Razorback models featured removable barrels with a muzzle break. After picking up the pictured Razorback III body with the removable barrel and short pump handle from Sean "Chaos" Matthews I began noticing a similarity between that specific removable barrel model Razorback IIIs and the Radar Mark 2K.β β
A few weeks later this Radar Mark 2K came up on ebay so I purchased it to compare. β β
I knew the specs of the bolt would match the Razorback/Scorpion/Trracer but I wasn't away the pump, threads and barrel details would be so similar. β β
It's likely that Larry Littlefield, of WWP, contract the design of the later Razorback IIIs to the same shop that machined the Radar Mark 2K. I've heard that WWP had some financial woes and maybe leftover parts were rebranded and sold to Radar Marketing?β β
Radar Marketing also created a shortly lived semi automatic, similar to the F1 Illustrator with (I think) rear cocking which came to market about 1993 (and strongly resembled WWP's attempt at a semi (the Raven?).β β
Does anyone remember anyone associated with Radar Marketing and their paintguns? Or their connection to Larry Littlefield and WWP?β β βLast edited by Grendel; 05-20-2024, 04:57 PM.

Just replaced the o rings and aired up with a 12 gram. What a delightful shooter. Pump marker virgin here. Beginning to understand what some of you guys are talking about. πComment
