Greetings fellow stock-class enthusiasts. It’s time to announce the next Stocktoberfest stock-class celebration.
Due to the unpredictability of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the two-day event is TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED to be held Saturday, September 19th and Sunday, September 20th at Adventure Games in Weare, NH (formally AG Paintball). Given the situation, this event may be cancelled at any point prior to the event date if there are safety concerns regarding large groups. We are monitoring all news and alerts and will provide as much notice as possible if it looks like the event will be cancelled. Currently, both myself and Adventure Games feel that it is safe to proceed with the event on the scheduled dates.
PLEASE NOTE: Face masks/coverings and social distancing while in the staging area and camping areas (when not eating or drinking) is required. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in order to make this event as safe as possible for all players and staff.
Our games are open to anyone who has their own stock-class equipment, and who enjoys the challenge and sportsmanship of stock-class play. I have been in touch with AG Paintball and they are very excited to host this stock-class event at their field.

What is "Stock-Class" equipment?
To be considered "stock-class", a gun must meet 3 simple criteria:
1) manually operated (pump-action, bolt-action, lever-action, etc.)
2) horizontally-fed
3) powered by a single 12-gram CO2 cartridge
(Examples of stock-class guns: Nel-Spots, PGPs, Splatmasters, Stock-Class Phantoms, Grey Ghosts, SC Carter Comps, Retro 7s, KP2s, PMI-1s, etc.).
Semi-autos, open-class pumps or any gun with any size CA/HPA tanks and/or direct feeds (with hoppers) will not be allowed - absolutely NO exceptions.
Modifications that ARE allowed:
• Guns with direct feed nipples can be equipped with a 90° elbow attached directly to the nipple. A horizontally-mounted feed tube must be mounted directly into the 90° elbow (to prevent excessive "ball stacking")
• Lever changers/slam changers that hold ONE 12-gram
• Stabilizers / regulators
• Maximum 20 round feed tube
• Any length barrel/sized barrels
• Any type of barrel porting
• Any type of sighting system or scope that do NOT have a laser
• Any type of "Raincover"
• Pump guns with auto-triggers are allowed because a horizontal feed negates the ability to effectively auto-trigger
Modifications that are NOT allowed:
• 12-gram changers that hold multiple cartridges (AGD 6-packs, ACI turret changers)
• First Strike Rounds
• Spring Feeds
• Mag-fed semi-auto pistols
• Laser sights
OK, whose in?
