Where are all the new Cocker bodies?

[JonM]

I'm thinking about upgrading my Sniper build, but nearly every manufacturer not named Nova is out of stock. This includes Inception Designs, Meteor, Freeflow, and so on. I know WGP is supposedly back and will eventually be releasing new parts, but they're not available yet. What happened to the market?

[Psycho91]

I think there was a lot of hype when mech play became big again and now it's just died off and no one is really building anymore except us on mcb so companies aren't producing anymore, the emek might have killed the market as well

Good point on the Emek/Etha 3M. They're $300-400 monsters. The new gold standard for rentals and entry level players with more than enough performance satisfy those with more experience/higher skill. Easy to maintain, bulletproof, not much needed in terms of upgrades (what little you could want isn't very expensive, to boot) and widely available. Hell, I'm hoping to get Mozak to make me a cocker body kit once he's done with the F6 stuff, and that alone will definitely run me WELL over $400...

The emek/etha 3m is great but I'm one of those broke ballers, I love the gog enemy, their cheap usually $100 or less give or take and they still have some soul to them(they feel kinda like an autococker spoolie), I will die in this hill 😂

Well if you consider The new Twister sold 250 units in less than a day.. Its a niche market .....WGP will be out in a month or so , Prototype's will be delivered soon , then anno and testing...Web site is being upgraded as I post this and will be live real soon...

Inception is out of production.
Meteor sells out very fast because they do small runs.
Freeflow doesn't sell body kits.

Oh... and

MOzak is busy with making twisters.

There's always Angry who can do custom

I agree, I think where it is headed is in custom one off cuts. Not necessarily production work. That being said people have to understand that design costs money as well as machining.

Which is part of the reason i have been trying to focus on stuff that is more simple and functional. Feedneck mods, mini cuts, trilogy mods.

[Ecapnation]

People barely understand that.... At least when I was doing it 10 years ago on manual machines

Now people want full cnc cuts ECT for one offs... I doubt they will pay my industry standard of $150 an hr for that. I'm also not going to stop non paintball customer work to make LESS because some guy wants a cocker body

[superman]

Exactly. Nevermind how much money goes into machines, tooling, fixturing etc.

I got one of the new Meteor pump body kit with a Laz valve I would let go of. Needs a reg and slider internals. (Dust black)

[JonM]

Thanks. I ended up going in a different direction.
