OpusX's Humidor

[OpusX]

Well I've been around long enough and have accumulated enough running shooters that I figured I would share the current line up. I'll separate them into the next couple of posts by categories of my choosing.

---Autocockers / Snipers / WGP---

Although my first marker was a Spyder I very much wanted an Autococker like all the cool kids and pros. I was several years after I started before I managed to snag one, and the love of them never died. I could build a cocker in my sleep, and that probably explains why I always have several running and probably a few more in parts.


--95' Autococker #27757--
Specs: Stock pneumatics (2k lpr, C-clip 3-way, 2k brass ram), Smart Parts expansion chamber, Doc Nickle Freak XL Bull Barrel, factory pot metal frame, Viewloader grips.

I wanted a restomod style sleeper. Honestly the only huge difference between this and a period cocker is the Freak. She shoots great on HPA, and CO2 which is always fun.





--97' Sniper #39649--
Specs: Dye 12" stainless barrel w/ Lapco .680 sizer, random pump kit w/ hitman plate, KAPP chrome vasa, KAPP back block, Air America Messiah regulator, 32 Degrees chrome 45 slider frame.

Classic "parts build" sniper. Fun story on the body. It was originally one a teammate in college used on a very early Racegun setup (hence why it is drilled for eyes) and surfaced in another friend gear bag many years later. Now it is a good loaner for pump play.





--99' APL Autococker [serial pending]--
Specs: Stock pneumatics (2k lpr, STO brass 3-way, 2k brass ram), J&J nickel plated brass 12" barrel with O-Ring detents, stock HPR, KAPP back block, Shocktech Super Fly bolt, roller sear.

Snagged most of this setup here on the board. I tried to keep this mostly stock to period. Smooth shooter with a unique old school look.





--99' Green Acid Wash Sniper #62786--
Specs: Autococker Parts SLICE pump kit, Doc Nickle Tanto Barrel, CP mini regulator, ANS Quick Fire 45 slider, Shocktech Super Fly bolt, SLPS springs, roller sear.

This is my main shooter when it comes to pump play. Awesomely tight, smooth, ball on ball marker. I have a matching freak tip for when a longer barrel feels right.





--2k2 Green Vert TJD Pneumatic Assist Lite Sniper #132231--
Specs: Chrome Tickler LPR, chrome STO ram, TJD Lite Pneumatic Assist 3-way, Bob Long Torpedo HPR, TASO back block, Sconi Freak back, Tear Drop Freak front, Benchmark 45 slider w/ beavertail.

I have always wanted a pneumatic assist sniper since learning about the concept way back in the late 90s. When I saw this version of the TJD kit, I thought it was pure genius and had to start a build around it. Luckily I stopped nobbie333 from cutting up this green 2k2 vert body and worked out a deal with him for it, and here we are.

---Spyders / Kingman---

The first marker I spent my own hard earned crappy teenage job money on was a Spyder Compact, which of course means I was a "spyder guy" in those arguments (maybe I still am). Based on that it is no surprise that I have several examples in the play bag at any given time.


--Spyder Classic--
Specs: Smart Parts vertical adapter, Smart Parts expansion chamber, Smart Parts Tear Drop 14" barrel, Taso bottom line, DIamond Labs venturi bolt.

Young me looked at all the bits in the Smart Parts catalog many times thinking of how amazing a player I would become having all that extra stuff all over my Spyder. Well fast forward a couple decades and change and I strapped many of those bits to this old fatty striker beauty. It is a fun shooter on HPA or CO2.




--Spyder Xtra--
Specs: Lapco Stainless Auto Spirit .684, Shocktech rear cocking bolt, 32 Degrees Magnaport valve and light springs, Shocktech chrome low pressure chamber, Sconi clamping feedneck, Air America Vigilante regulator.

Well this is a good example of picking up a $30 Spyder just for fun off the board, and then randomly acquiring other bits from lots until you end up with an over upgraded STBB (which is half the fun). A decently tight barrel and lower pressure getting this thing shooting darts.




--Spyder Shutter--
Specs: Dye 16" Stainless barrel, 32 degrees air through grip

Another horse in the stable due to swapping the bonus items amongst friends, from lots we've purchased. Pretty simple loaner.




--Bob Long Millennium (Spyder Body)--
Specs: Smart Parts 10" Venturi barrel, Python breach sizer, Shocktech Gen1 LPC, 32 Degrees Magnaport valve and light springs, Lapco VASA, CP mini reg, Dye drop, PI delrin bolt, Bob Long blue splash Millennium body, BLAST single finger frame.

I may have had a thing for Smart Parts bits back in the day, but the ultimate Spyder I wanted to strap all those parts too, was a Millennium. Such a pretty platform for wasting a teenagers money. This build actually lived up to my teenager hyped dreams.

---Tippmann---

I have always been a fan of Tippys and their tank like reliability, who isn't, so I had to have a few in the pile.

--68-Carbine--
Specs: Dye 14" stainless barrel, APP or Pro-Line (not sure) combo VASA and Powerfeed, factory expansion, Pro-Line star fire bolt

A very good friend of mine who started playing with me back in the day was a Tippmann guy and I always was a bit jealous of his marker (don't tell anyone). Luckily I was able to add this near replica (plus some) of his setup to the collection.



--Pro-AM--
Specs: Smart Parts Progressive 14" barrel, otherwise stock

Pro-Lites were one of the first rental semi's I played with and when I found a Pro-AM, the even heavier, beefier, all metal version of thie "lite" showed up locally I had to snag it. This one is loud, proud and loves CO2.

--Overflow [managing attachments]--

--2k right feed Autococker [serial pending]--
Specs: Lapco Big Shot w/ Python breach sizer, Oracle 3-way, Ticker LPR, 2k brass ram, WGP hinge frame, Palmers Fatty Stabilizer.

Nothing too special, but another shooter in the "well I had 3 extra parts so why not build an entire cocker" category.

Awesome collection.

Love the shrouded cockers, especially the second one.

More "old school" cockers need shrouds

[Alexndl]

Very nice setup for the 68 Carbine!
I have been thinking of building a similar setup for the last few month... now I need to start looking for parts...

[OpusX]

I am enjoying the heck out of it. It is awkward, long, unwieldy, heavy, loud....what's not to like

[nobbie333]

You are missing a bright green Spyder

[OpusX]

I don't need your brand of encouragement there pusher man......but you are right

[Myrkul]

Missing your emech and your Cassidy Mag as well.....
