Up for sale an extremely rare Nel-spot "707" / Crosman "150" Paintball Pistol! This is the even more rare version then the more commonly found 707 due to the fact that this has both the stampings of Nel-Spot "707" (which is found on the upper tube/barrel), and Crosman "150" (on the lower co2 tube). Normally you only find the upper "707" stampings on these. This highly collectable Nelspot 707 was likely introduced in the mid 1950s to mid 1960s (the actual dates are a topic for debate) as a means for ranchers to mark cattle and forestry employees to mark trees with oil based paintballs. Never used by National Survival Games, the Nelspot 707 did not play a part in the development of the game we consider paintball, but was likely crucial in the design of Nelson’s next marker, the Nelspot 007. This has been in my personal private collection for over 30 years. I have never fired it or used a Co2 cartridge in it. So it will most likely need a seal rebuild if you want to fire this again. It is complete and in fantastic shape for something over 50 years old. There is some residue of the original blueish/teal paint in the magazine, but the barrel is clean and also no rust in the barrel! Please check all the pictures I've included. I plan on letting this run it's scheduled auction time, so please do not ask me for a lowball 'buy it now' price (it might be possible to tempt me with a higher price but no promises). Payment is expected within two days of the end of the auction. Shipping is included and will be tracked and insured and a signature WILL BE REQUIRED at time of delivery. No international shipping.

pretty sure that's sugarstump


--edit--

went back and looked at the seller's name, not just location, and yup. he used to be a member? not sure if I've seen him since the wipe. He's had the quite the collection over the years, and a lot of stories to boot.

I know of one that sold for quite a bit more about 6-8 month back.

He's here, just not super a prolific poster

Dan Bacci posted on FB about one a few days ago. Man these things are cool.

Yeah, that was mine. I sold it to another member here instead of letting it run on the bay. I really wanted to keep it in the MCB family so I accepted an offer just to keep it with a solid collector here. Hector the Collector has it in his stable now. I know it probably would have gone for much higher than what I sold it for, but sometimes it's not about squeezing every last cent out of cool piece. And as a bonus Ebay really didn't get anything out of it, yay!

I still have this one 🙂
