Am I doing this right? (Find your old marker!)

[Hutbrew]

Hello, my name is Hutbrew, and I am an addict…


I have amassed quite the collection since the COVID days- and it really ramped up since discovering Hawaiian Shirts are the best attire for the paintball field.

Thanks for helping me build this collection.

I’m reserving a couple more of the first posts, for when I dig out the rest of the hoard- these are just the prized ones so far, though it may be meek, it brings me joy.

The rest are mostly Tippmanns and Trracer Style Nelsons.

[Hutbrew]

Reserved NO MORE

Finally got around to organizing, tinkering, building, and- documenting?

My work space had gotten out of control recently, well, over the last 6months… so I figured I would organize the PB gear while straightening up.

Dug up most of the hoard, and what has been added since.

Oh, I guess a VM-68 snuck in

Let’s start with the Tippmann Family:

Top is a bin of working:
98’s and 98 customs (~10)
a pair of Chronos
and a big ‘ol POP tippmann

Next we’ve got the “Long Guns”
A-5 w/ RT + FL
98c w/ RT + naked FL
98c w/ FL
and that sneaky PMI-III

4th is a:
Pair of A-5, both RT (is there any other way to shoot an A5 proper?)
and a 98 (raw?) w/ folding stock and foregrip ASA

3rd & 5th be the complete set of the PRO/AM thru PRO/Carbine series
most of these go *hissssssssssss* or *Pooooooot*

XEMON helped a lot with the collection of Pro/ams and pro/lites

COB helped with 1/2 of my working 98’s (btw I’m considering expanding my modest “fantastic plastic” collection…)

Lots of cockers! You have excellent taste

[un2xs]

Which one is your favorite child... or the one you are most proud of having in the family?

[Hutbrew]

The most fun is the pre2k (silver Palmer reg) assembled and tuned by latches109 because it’s to blame for my ‘cocker fixation

Proud of? I’d say it’s a toss up between the silver Hawaiian sniper and the other black pre2k, from Junglepeanut - I learned how to build/rebuild (or swap parts through denial + error) an autococker on that pre2k, but I’ve never done a Hawaiian build before…

I’ll hopefully do a write up on the Hawaiian sniper efficiency thread once I have a chance to field & chrono the “silver stroker” It’s dry firing 30-40 shots on Crossman 12grams- all of which seem to have decent power when covering the breech with my thumb (my low-tech way of ball parking velocity)

[Hutbrew]

Edit: the Hawaiian was super efficient because it was shooting like 120fps- almost got 12 shots on old Crossman twelvies once I tuned it up to speed

CO2 Setup

[Hutbrew]

Almost all organized…

[Hutbrew]

Yes….

[Hutbrew]

Mhmmm…

[Hutbrew]

I’ll probably repost the interesting markers spread out on the lab table when I finally get the tools and other storage stuff re-organized. Priorities to keep SWMBO happy so I can make it to ION 2025

I’ll post a picture of the “paintball closet” (hopefully before springtime) which the previous homeowner used as a “hidden gun closet” The false wall for it is just the biggest PITA to move so it pretty much stays off unless I want to show it off.

hell of a nice collection.

[Hutbrew]

It has been growing- still have additional pictures to add…
