What is it? RTP?

[Walker]

What is this? Almost looks like an RTP in an odd stock?

That's a chopped up Sheridan KP with a custom stock ...
The feed neck appears to be coper plumbing parts which may indicate a top tube conversion

I have seen that pump handle before, but i cant place it right now ...

The pump handle reminds me of an RTP:


While the body reminds me of an Enforcer ;

Looks like someone converted a kp for bulk air then said don't need this lower tube.....

And then when it arrives:
"F... why did I buy this?"

A little more info from the seller:

There was a tournament team called “Capital Punishment” in the mid 80’s
until the ninety’s. They were mostly police officers, military and
engineering folks.

They built guns like this out of PMIs and KP3s. Teams at
the time dominated with these guns. The were advertised in 88 and 89 in APG
magazine. The version they sold was called the “Hardcore” same basic
features but instead of the wrap around grip it kept the side feed tube as
a swab holder and they had a peg to pull back. They sold for $450 at the
time.

One cool thing about the bolt. It is designed to lock the bolt in and
not loose pressure when shot. These were commercially available. They honed
the inside slightly to speed up the bolt.

Bill I can’t remember his last name (Will let you know if I remember) built this gun custom for me with
the wrap around grip to lighten it up. At one point I had an aim point red
dot sight on it… until hit.

I played against them at a tournament outside
of Chardon called “Pinnacle Woods” not sure if they are still open. Bill
lead Capital Punishment and I was part of “TNT” the Nissan Team.(local
dealer sponsored.) Also played back yard ball with them.

Back to the guns.
I ran a 7 oz tank but some ran 20-33 oz tanks with extended custom barrels.
Like I said the guns ruled the area until the auto mags and auto cockers
came. Great bunch of guys but the last time I saw them was 25 years ago and
then they were late 40’s so not sure where they ended up. I miss the old
guys from back then, Vietnam vets with nicknames like “Chopper” and “Jinx”.
I figured I should pass it along now.

Worth it just for the cool history.

I can imagine seeing one of these on the field when I'm using a nelspot and thinking "man these agg guys flexing their gear advantage, have some dignity" :P
