    Matching Autococker/Minimag. Sterling and AKA Excalibur.

    My son just started playing paintball, so I pulled my old gear out of storage. Curious what they are worth? Do not plan on parting with the Autococker, mag or sterling. They each have a lot of fond memories. But would be curious of their value. I have already ordered a rebuild kit for the mag.

    But I never really played with the Excalibur. And probably would be willing to sell it.

    History of the Excalibur as best I recall.
    I bought it used online in early 2003. It was going to be my first electronic marker.
    It came with that "speed kills" already on it, I assumed it was a sticker I could remove. It is not, it is either etched into the gun or painted on, not really sure.
    I used it once or twice, then it started cycling slow. I reached out to AKA to get it worked on and boxed it up and never sent it off.
    It has sat in that box, in a storage crate with the other markers for over 20 years.
    I just pulled them out today. The Excalibur had a set of dye grips that I removed, to put a battery in it.
    The power switch is stiff to slide, I imagine it has gunk and grime and needs cleaning. The power light comes on(yellow) and it makes a click sound when the trigger is pressed.
    I do not have air to connect and if the state of my other markers is any indication all the o-rings are likely shot anyway.
    S/N is EX#00265

    Thanks.

        Did that cocker come from Florida paintball center?

        The cuts look like John Gross's work

          Not sure, I was never the original owner of anything I owned.

          I was the one who sent the mag and cocker off to be anodized.

          However, the cocker was already milled when I bought it. When I bought it, it was black with exposed silver any place it was milled.

          *Edit to add: The chrome was also not original hardware it was all added after it was anodized.

            If you can grab a closer photo of the cocker might be able to figure out what you have

              That cocker mag pair is the perfect father-son combo.

                This was not a kit or package.

                I bought what was more or less a milled stock Autococker and changed out the pneumatics over the years. Eventually sent it and the Mag parts off to be anodized.

                If I recall front bolt is not stock and opened up to allow more air flow. Regulator input is drilled for more air. I think the valve input is also opened up.

                  Here is a picture of a blurry old picture of the Autococker taken prior to it getting anodized. This is the only pic I could find.

                    The machining is definitely looking like fpc/john gross work. Detent and bottom cut is a huge tell.

                    Id there any engraving under the frame?

                        Nothing on any of the pieces. Here are more pics of the body shape.
