Let me know if you want closer pictures of anything or better pictures.

Pull those guts and let us get a good look at what is inside!

Oh wow! I’ll update the fishy name gun thread

Wintec Slider frames are my favorite frame on a Nelson Clone. Could use some cleaning up but given it already has a removable barrel this is a great candidate for modernizing. I would expect the barrel ID is somewhere north of 0.690 so having it Freak bored is fairly obvious. Given those long pump arms there will be room below to potentially install a ball detent for prevention of double feeds or as I have done on one of my old LAPCOs installed a wire detent above the pump are along the driver sides of the body. It has an AR style grip attachment which opens it up for all sorts of different grips tailored to your preference. Barrel is not turned down to do a hidden pump return spring but that would be simple to have done while getting the barrel Freak bored. As others have said a cool piece. You could restore it for historical value or you could modify it to bring it up to current "standards". I expect under the Hockey tape there are stripped out screws but doing inserts is an easy fix.

Value, if it is cleaned up and working it will top out at $150 but you might wait quite a while for a buyer. In current state $75, and fully modded out $400 potentially.

I would keep it and build it up into a modern open class Nelson Clone (I like to play with my markers not really into collecting wall hangers). If you get interested in liquidating give me a howler. I could add it to my menagerie of partially completed or not started projects.

Nice glad an mcb guy grabbed that....

Basically it's a very obscure late near end stage nelson

Your probably right. Just found this Taso threaded Scorpion barrel on Bacci's site.

What long pump arms you have Landshark!

And the logo is really neat.

Could be Taso threads, since they more than likely made the gun for ags.

[Carp]

I half expected it to be a weird hybrid non-threaded/grip frame screw retention system or something of the like. You might need to do some glamour shots(of the marker) to add them to VintageRex.

Thank you good Sir! Now I'm just trying to figure out what the threads are...F1 or Angel look the closest that I can tell. Is it too much to ask for another pic with a ruler?....😁

Yes...fixed means unibody. Can we get a picture of the barrel threads. I've tried zooming-in on your pictures. I can't tell where the body stops and the barrel starts. All I see is where the pump stoke wear is.

[Painthappy]

Honestly don't know much about it, but I love it!

Standard Winter style frame from the day, bushmaster style pump, longer pump arm than I would have thought, cool laser engraved sight. Unibody for sure, really cool old school type gun. Definitely dig it.

[FredMnkyDad10]

Barrel:fixed. Does that mean it should be unibody? Like the old phantoms.

This one is not. The barrel comes off.

[Carp]

Yeah, VintageRex is pretty much minimal info and no current pictures. But, it is listed under AGS-Adventure Game Supply

Ok MCB. Picked up a few things locally. This was in the bundle. Only thing I could find online was an article from dan@paintballhistory.

From that looks like this was similar to the PMI Tracer, ACI Mavericks, few others and from 1990. Seems that the Landshark is a bit more rare than the others.

Anyone have more info on these to share. And what is worth.
