Hi All,
I picked up a massive lot of really old and absolutely cruddy paintball gear off Craigslist a couple of weeks ago as a winter project. After shipping off a couple to another member, I began working through the remaining 22 guns -all STBBs of various types (Spyders, Piranhas, Rebels, Diablos, etc.). After working through the ones I knew about to triage how many I could save and get running again, I ended up with a few total losses and ...this.
It's called a DGT Limited. I had originally tossed it in the junk box because it was so grimy and was in pieces with zip-ties holding bits on. Once I got to it and started scrubbing, I discovered a high quality STBB.
It's got several features I'm surprised by, including:
It's all metal construction, with anodizing that is deep and almost flawless.
Integrated expansion chamber with quick disconnect airline
Chromed hammer
Rear velocity adjuster
Wire detent
Aluminum venturi bolt
And, best of all .... Cocker threaded.
I've got it cleaned up with all seals replaced (typical Spyder-style internals), and it cycles fine without air. Ran out of that rebuilding all the other things first.
Anyway, I'm at a total loss to find anything about this gun. My Google-fu has turned up a single example from a 7-yr-old classified ad with nothing but two pictures.
Does anyone else recognize or know anything about this mystery STBB?
