    Value of FBM teardrop sniper

    Wondering what would be a fair price for this one?

    Bough it from a member back in 2014, added the CCM pump kit and on off ASA since. Player condition with some scratch and chrome parts show some pitting.

    I think the milling was done by Chris Ogaz (from what I understand the milling of the rail was his signature milling).

    From what I remember internals are Rat valve and Phat hammer
    Bolt is shocktech and backblock is threaded for dual rod.
    Benchmark frame?
    Macdev Gladiator reg

    Work well lat time I played with it last November.

    Any idea of the price as seen one this picture?

    Nice looking Sniper Alex! I'd say around $650.

      Nice looking marker! These are really underated. Chris Ogaz made some insanely cool stuff!



      Edit here are photos of my old one: https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...vol2eexgwDuAJC

      I sold mine a couple years ago for either $425 or $400 but it needed two helicoils, a rebuild and was drilled. Parts were pretty comparable minus the above issues. Also i don't think i included a barrel. So maybe $550? You can always start high and work your way down

        I have a Teardrop body cocker I picked up off eBay in the early 2000s. It’s my longest owned paintball marker. Good to know the appropriate price!

          I thought teardrops had FBM milled on the side and came with a ribbed vasa. If it didn’t have fbm it was a spanky warped monkey

            FBM is only milled on the non-detent side, so we can't tell from the photo

            Edit: my Vasa also wasn't ribbed. I added photos in my above comment ^

          Loophole I did a google image search, you are right there are a lot without that milled vasa. The two I had both had this vasa pictured below.

            Hmm, both could be corect? IIRC Chris Ogaz didn't sell these to FBM.. only to spanky. Sooo Spanky must have sold the extra bodies to FBM and they slapped some random parts together to finish some builds.

            Very interesting!

          Here are some picture of the other side with the FBM engraving. Its drilled for eye too (forgot to mentioned)

          Can someone confirm which frame this one is?
          not sure its Benchmark.
