I just payed over $100 for an old Spyder!

I love that I'm not the only one who does shots and uses chopsticks on spyders 😂😂😂

I’m into the dismantling part. I’m gonna say this valve is definitely aftermarket. It’s got some tight tolerances, as it is being a bear to get out. I broke two chop sticks trying to get it out so far. I’m soaking it in some marker oil now, taking a shot of liquor, and I’ll be back at it in a few.

It just came in today! I’ll be opening the box tonight and get some photos up soon!

Have you opened it up yet? It would be nice to see an other than stock valve inside.

No reg, just an expansion chamber, so my guess is no Tornado valve. It’s possible they ran an LP tank but very unlikely.

[Sharkytrav]

I think the big question on this one is if it has the Tornado Valve or not. Let us know what you find in there.

[OpusX]

It looks like a Taso lpc to me.

Anyone know what AKALMP means? Can anyone name some parts they see already?!

AKALMP stands for Aaron K. Alexander LEADS Metal Products. Aaron was the main force behind the their paintball line, as the core business was always a machine shop. LEADS stands for Larry, Eileen and Daughters & Sons. The paintball like was originally AKAPP which stood for AKA Performance Products, but was changed to AKALMP fairly quickly.

yeah, was thinking of using one of my many grey bodies, slapping an AKA beaver tail and side plate on and posting up on ebay.
they are the cheapest bit...

Im curious to see the internals when you get it. And what volumizer is on there? It was hard to see from the listing
