RuleOfSines Crates of Clutter

[lew]

The most reliable collection of markers ever!

🤣

I can't ever recall seeing seeing an Ice Epic outside of a magazine. Did they work decently well?

That PGI Firestorm is going to give me nightmares.

Thats some GOOOOD clutter my friend Nice collection!

[Big Jim]

The semiauto PG68 should be listed as an IMP which is the Cooper T kit added to it. Did you purchase the kit from me? I don't recall seeing anyone else with non- anodized ones.

Lovely collection! Plenty of old school cool ;-)

Is that s4 an Asian region made marker? I bought one a long time ago in my teens and it had a defect and couldn't figure it out at the time, wish I never took it back.

The Epic, is, something. They have a built-in-regulator feature over-pressure relief which is neat, however it requires special rings that appear to have been custom made. They have a spring core in them, and not a standard size. Once that reg goes bad it leaks air out the bottom.

The thing I hate most about them, and why I don't think I'd ever use it, is the rear plate of the body is held on with a single vertical screw that doesn't go all the way through. That rear plate is the back of the dump chamber, and as you fire the marker you actually see it move in and out as the chamber pressurizes and depressurizes. Combine that with an unreliable reg, and I don't really want to ever be behind one that is aired up.

Possibly got it from you, I got it on here, that much I can remember. It was awhile back now. I'm probably actually going to pull that off of the P68 and put it on something more appropriate with a direct feed.

Yep! It is a horrible VM68 knockoff, tipped over on its side and a second barrel added. The construction is so bad I find it amazing these could work at all.

Can you do a video tear down of the sidekick semi. Also do all of your Thumpers work?

Well, that's a bummer. Seems like it a lot of potential wasted. I'd appreciate a tear-down if you ever get a chance.

Cheers!

I've been meaning to do a tear down of that one for awhile actually, maybe I can this weekend. I have at least two different variations of the blow-forward valve system here.

The two pretty Thumpers are entirely un-updated originals, and I have not attempted to fire them, still have the aluminum hammers and all. I think two of my dust black ones work, one of which has every possible update including an updated regulator and breech. I don't believe that one is pictured here. I also have a Pheonix prototype.

[Kit]

You should send the pretty thumper over so I can fondle them (I mean fix them).

Also can you do a video break down of the phoenix, I would like to see the difference between that and the thumper.

[Rusty Brass]

F**k yeah, RoS! You should totally let Kit figure out how to fix all of our Thumpers!

Great collection. Does the War Machine 80 work?

[RuleOfSines]

It powers on and the noid clicks, that's actually about all I know at the moment. I have a reciprocating breech assembly to go with it now as well.

[powpowpaintball]

Very nice. I had one in parts for a while and passed it on after having to many projects. I wish I had kept it just for the novelty.

The rest of your collection is fantastic as well.

Hey dude, I shot you a pm. Excellent looking collection ;-)
