So, I recently got sucked back into paintball, after a hiatus of about 27+ years. Back in May, I flew from MD to SoCal for the tribute game for Earon Carter (may he rest in peace) at SC Village. Played with my custom Carter Comp, had a great time, and totally caught the bug again. So, now i'm planning on restoring/rebuilding my OG Carterized Autococker from the early 90's (i'll post pics of it in the picture thread), but also want to build a more "modern" Autococker. To that end, I recently scored this:
It's a RaceGun HalfBlock body that I scored off of eBay, and I am planning on building it as a mech cocker with modern pneumatics, etc. It supposedly includes the internals, but no idea if it's the original RaceGun Internals since it's still currently en route via USPS (scheduled to arrive tomorrow). Anyway, i'm trying to plan out my build and wondering if anyone out there is experienced with RaceGun HalfBlocks and can answer a couple of questions for me.
First off...does the RaceGun HalfBlock use a 9/16 or 11/16 sized valve? Trying to figure out what valve I want to run in this gun and knowing what size this body uses will help direct my search.
Also, any way to tell what year this body is from? From the seller's original pics, I don't see any kind of serial number, but is there a way to ID the year of RaceGuns HalfBlock bodies?
Any recommendations of what parts to go with for this build are welcomed. Currently, i'm planning on complete front pneumatics from Inception Designs, but haven't really gotten further than that. Anyone out there built a mech RaceGun Halfblock? Post pics! Thanks!
Regards,
Alvin
