      I was wondering if I was going to find tippmanns in here.

          I have a similar Tippmann collection, got an SL68II , a 68-Special, a Mini-Lite (vert asa prolite) , a Model 98 with FlatLine, a Pro-Carbine and now a Cronus in .50 cal

          I've had a couple Pro-ams in the collection briefly, but they were so dang heavy, i got rid of them. Plus i figured i had that era covered close enough with the mini-lite I kept

          I like the original Model 98 a lot more compared to 98 customs and newer, so I think my 98 collecting is done. Although I would add a model 98 chameleon if a good deal presents itself.

          I had an A5 for a bit, upgrading it was fun, but never really fell in love with it, so ended up selling. I've never had an X7 Phenom.

          I've never been too interested in the SMG-60 / SMG-68 obsession, but a Tippmann F/A is a holy grail gun for sure!

          '96 RF Mini Cocker, '95 RF Autococker, 68-Automag Classic, Banzai Splash Minimag, Gen-E Matrix, Shoebox Shocker 4x4, Montneel Z-1, Tippmann Pro-Carbine, Tippmann Mini-Lite, Tippmann Model-98, Tippmann 68-Special, Spyder .50 cal Opus/Opus-A , Tippmann .50 Cal Cronus , Gog Enmey .50 cal , Tippmann Vert ASA 68-Carbine, Bob Long Millennium, ICD Grey Green Marble Splash Alleycat Deluxe (runs liquid co2) , Halfblock 2K4 Prostock Autococker , 2K RF Sniper II

            You should absolutely try a Phenom. Excellent shooter.

            yeah, their flex valve seems really cool, odd that the flex valve never made its way into other tippmann shells like the a5 or 98

            they totally could have made a Shortened version of the 98, and called it the 98 Flex or something like that.

          If I'm not mistaken, I think the Pro Am came from you!

          At some point I need to get an updated family photo, since that one I've got a Mini-Lite, Pro Carbine (RT mod in the works!) And a Model 98.

            For some reason I am sensing a theme for this collection.... now, what could they have in common? Ah... they are all black in color. Whew! Thought i was losing my powers of observation for a moment.
