JT Flex 8 Question

[Cdn_Cuda]

So at some point JT changed to mold for JT Flex 8? Older ones have JT on each cheek and never ones don’t. Curious when the changeover was.

JT on cheeks:

Should have the year stamped on the inside

[Cdn_Cuda]

Yes, but all I have are ones from around 05 and they all have JT on the cheeks. Newer ones don’t but no idea when the change happened

I have some I’ll check out in the morning for dates. I’m pretty sure I’ve never owned one with the JT

[Chuck E Ducky]

The newer ones also don’t have that seam running down the middle. Those frames can be worth a decent amount tho.

[Cdn_Cuda]

Good to know! Clearly paintball was really big here in the mid 2000s as that’s the area of most the gear I pick up locally.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Depends on the foams condition but 100-125 for the frames in good condition.

I bought a sand camo flex 8 around ‘07/‘08 and it did not have the jt. Man I miss that one

[Chuck E Ducky]

Sand camo would be worth big money today. I think the JT logo was put on the shell top Flex 8’s. The Full Shield I think they called it. People would just remove rivets on the head piece. Especially as the value climbed. Then there was a new version made. They dropped a bit then became rare again. The hydro finish comes off over time. The nose section would rub on the frame and flake over time with regular use.
