Collection of old KP rifles, pumps, pistols, and more that I inheritied
This is a collection I inherited a few months ago after my father passed away. Some of you may know him. His name was Robert or Bob. He used to go by Strider or Bobdog back in the early to mid 00's.I'm his son Mike (aka Underhill). He fell in love with the old markers and started collecting them. I'm pretty positive he was active on MCB and where he sourced most of these. But because it's been so many years I cannot recall completely. Others have suggested I post here to see if anyone recognizes these KP rifles and Sheridan pumps (in linked album 2 below).
I was curious about these markers, specifically the wooden KP rifles (one of which being a PPS Hurricane). This history of them, who did some of the mods, and what some of them may be worth or if anyone would be interested possibly. I've been told some of these are quite uncommon. But I may be looking to selling them shortly. As much as I'd love keeping them, I have been out of this hobby for 18+ years and hate seeing them get forgotten and collecting dust (I had to wipe off 15 years of dust for these photos lol). I'd much rather see these possibly completing someone else's collection.
Which is partly why I'm posting this here.
Below are imgur album links to the entire collection in full resolution
Album 1 (full album of the KP collection)
Album 2 (has more than just the old pumps. Like some Tippmanns and others stuff. Even a spare KP stock)
For those that knew him, my dad passed away peacefully in his sleep at home with myself and my mother at 78 years old. He was a cancer survivor from Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (was in remission since 2008, and the reason he exited the hobby due to his battle with cancer). But had been dealing with other issues since. A year ago he was diagnosed with lung cancer and had some of it removed. But he never could recover fully from the surgery. Eventually coming home for his remaining time with loved ones in home hospice so he could be comfortable.
He loved this hobby and I have many many many fond memories of him enjoying it with me. From all the scenario games to smaller woodsball games at local fields like Forest Fire in Wa State. Or running with the WATAG group to different fields.
