Early Boston Paintball Twister

[Imamericansalt]

Back at it again with another recovery.

Have it well identified by Tim Firpo, quoting him here:

"Boston Paintball 45° Full Mill left feed Twister.

The parts on it would be the stock parts that the marker was built with at the time. The front block is an ANS Jackhammer 1, Taso 3-way and a clippard nickel plated ram (non rebuild-able). The reg Is an Air America. The cut frame is likely original but is missing the cut guard and double trigger shoe. Anno was done by PK Select.

Good looking example of an early Twister 👍"

Hoping I may be able to get an appraisal here as my first attempts on Autococker Nation bared no fruit. Thanks again to anyone who chimes in. Your help is always appreciated!

that thing is rad. coming up fs? hard to say on price, maybe around 4-500?

[Imamericansalt]

It will be for sale soon! But probably not at that low of a price.

the market really softened for older things with the deluge of new cockers over the past few years and new twisters, even though they aren't as meticulously milled as gats of yore. The quality of life differences/usability make it hard to see old stuff as anything other than wall hangers

[WORR13]

yeah, prolly more round 800+. u could always put it on ebay and see what it goes for, sometimes a wakeup call. musta been daydreaming of the times when i used to buy karnis for like 350

[Magageddon]

that's one of those where someone will pay whatever they think its worth deals, cut trigger guard sucks and the left feed is definitely rarer, might make it harder to sell, most guys are rightys.

Even though the market is down, I'd start around 800-1000 and go from there, but might bring more, hard to say on a build like this

[Imamericansalt]

Yea I feel like its such an oddity it'll be hard to price closely.

I could be wrong, I'm not much of a cocker guy, but isn't left feed preferable for right handed people because you can sight down the right hand side of the gun with your dominant eye and not have the hopper in the way, and when coming around the right side of a bunker the hopper stays tucked in so you are a smaller profile?

[iamthelazerviking]

Myrkul you are correct

It's worth a lot more than that.

I would say ~875. I have bought and sold a lot of guns, markets are always changing and although this is a twister cocker and a left feed... demand is not nearly as strong as it is for F series twisters, or vert feed p-block full mills. Striping down the non matched parts there are some good parts like the camo smart parts grips that pull a premium, but everything else here is pretty easily obtainable besides the body kit which is very nice, and ano is tasteful, period so thats a plus.

anyone made anything recently to make mech cockers fast? Nobody doing RTs right?

[Imamericansalt]

It ended up selling privately for 1250 for anyone that cares! Thanks for your help!
