What year was the last Pump / Sniper made?

[Luscious]

Just curious really. Did WGP make pumps to the end? Were they still sold as Sniper 2's. What were the last pump body styles like?

[Grendel]

Not sure when or if they stopped making a pump marker (Sniper II) but I know they were still making and selling them new on the 2K+ platform well into the 2000s. My ever faithful CCMed Sniper was a Sniper II purchased at Paintball Charleston in the early 2000s (2000 or 2001) time blurs anymore. It was a stock 2K+ that was modified to my taste over the next couple years after purchase.

That is nice

Thanks, the anodization was a mistake. It was intended to be Brown ->Green->Brown but the Brown came out kind of a brown mustard look. when the anodizer showed it to me I said I'd take it as is because it looked cool to me. This is definitely a players marker it has a lot of wear marks and scratches but she always is in my bag and she never lets me down. Last time I played I started out with my Pyre but was having issues with balls rolling out my Wedgited barrels so away it went and out came this Sniper II and one of JeeperCreeper 0.675 brass insert and all was well. Ended up being a great day of paintball.

Factory from WGP, the Sniper 2 I think was offered until 2002?

Factory pumps stopped in 2002 as a dealer orderable thing, but had a brief comeback in 05/06 with the One shot one kill karni mid block pumps.

[cockerpunk]

they made a limited run of factory, half block, karni pumps.

I had one. it was baller.

not as good as my full CCM karni pump but still a great gun.

The way back machine shows snipers still listed on the WGP website in mid-2003, but the picture won’t load and it doesn’t list the body style. I suspect they were still using 2002 bodies.

Unmilled 2k bodies in gloss Anno iirc

I own around 10 Autocockers / Snipers and only one is in stock configuration- being a 1991 Sniper 2. Everything interesting seems to have been modified (The platforms best feature). What did later WGP pump kits look like? You never see them for sale or atleast, I don't think I have ever seen one?.How did they compare to the after market?

[Ecapnation]

They had swoopy cuts not grooves otherwise dimensionally identical

A fellow pump player when I lived in UT had one of these, he ran a Lapco breech sizer + 18" UL on it lol, and a Winchester and 13ci. AGG AF.

I might be misremembering but I recall seeing ads in APG for snipers on 2003 bodies. Don't think I saw them past that, outside of limited edition runs like the Karnis CP mentioned.
