Posting this here on the advice of Reddit's BST paintball forum. New to this site, but I've been in the game for a while (same username here as I have on PBNation since 2001).
I recently acquired a PTP FX Micrococker from a co-worker who no longer plays. The body/anno are in fantastic condition, but it was in nonworking condition and had one of those hideous WGP hinge frames on it.
Here's where I ended up with the build:
DFF-20 Lazarus Valve (11/16 mod by Angry Antle)
Shocktech Gunfighter 1.5 Frame
Shocktech Pneumatics (fully rebuilt)
Bob Long Torpedo Inline Reg (what I had lying around)
Paintball DNA 8" Barrel (accepts Freak inserts)
New CP Delrin Ball Detent
I also changed the hammer spring to the lightest one I could possibly find
Not pictured but would want to include with sale:
DYE Airport ASA and CP Rail (black) - the one pictured is removed
10" DYE Stainless Steel Barrel
Paintball DNA Magnetic Freak Insert Case w/Inserts
Also note:
There is some visible wear on the bolt, but the inside of the body and breech are very clean.
The underside of the back block where the cocking pin connects is in very good shape. There's a tiny bit of mushrooming, but nowhere near enough to start to drag along the body or cause any problems.
I don't have a chrono on hand, but this thing definitely gets to 280+ and seems very consistent.
This was a fun build, and the end product is amazing. It rips. I can't believe how nice the gunfighter frame feels, and the LPR is set extremely low - it cycles reliably about 1/4 turn in from completely shutting off. No way this is chopping any paint. I'm especially happy with how it turned out, because I had one of these way back in the day and it was nothing but trouble. I could never get it to shoot right. Feels good to finally nail it (albeit about 20 years after the fact lol).
With all that being said, I'm thinking about getting rid of it so I can work on some other projects. I've done some research on these and there isn't much out there. It looks like PTP Microcockers go for $400-500 in rougher physical shape and nonworking condition. I haven't been able to find one quite like this to compare it to.
What do you guys think it's worth?
