Why I am not impressed with the nelspot 007.

[I-tech]

Hi my peoples,I just recently bought my first 007 off the ebay. Wich looked like it was never used but still was all rusty under the paint. I took it apart cleaned it touched up the rust spots. But it is almost imposible to pump. Any advice would be appreciated.

Do you have a pump handle or anti kink hammer (barrel shaped instead of cylinder with straight sides)?

You could always respring with lighter springs.

Install Phantom internals. Best mod, hands down.

It's steel on steel that's likely well corroded. Stock they all felt pretty awful

You're not impressed because it's the first paintball gun ever and they fixed a lot of problems later on

On the cheap, polish the hammer and bolt. Use some polishing compound on and old barrel swab and polish the internals area of the body. That should help make a noticeable difference.
Phantom internals are the next step in smoothing it out and are a near drop in replacement. Only the sear needs swapped from the Nelspot hammer to the phantom hammer.

Funny, some one not being impressed with a 007, in 1981 is what drove paintball, spawning every single gun and gear innovation since then.

I think it was the game experience more than the gun itself. In the interviews I've seen of the people from the first game (Gaines and Noel) didn't speak very highly of the 007 either. And they left paintball before most of the major advances came.

This thread made me dig out my Nelspot and air it up, and after about the fourth or fifth shot I really didn't want work the bolt anymore, lol

Put phantom internals in them they shoot Money! I got a cooper T back bottle valve and a barrel extension on mine it’s a blast to shoot. I still want to make a parabolic ramp for the feed so I can remove the pin and make it feed a lil faster and smoother. But the thing is a Tac driver.
