I finally got my unicorn!

[ChoSanJuan]

So my birthday was this weekend and I had a party on Friday night. Had a bunch of people over, most of them ballers from my team. A few months ago I put a post on FB:

"Don't forget... My birthday is coming up and I'm a size Tom Cole's Bad Company, 1 of 1, EM1. 😉"

It included the link to the Bacci listing thought It would be just a fun joke post. Joke was on me because my wife bought it and that was that!

Reserved for rebuild post

Obviously she's a keeper. The wife, I mean.

Yeah, you got a good one my dude. I'm excited to shoot this beast over the chrono next we cross paths. I can finally see why you love the em1 platform so much.

Also, Happiest of Birthdays to one of the best ones good sir!

Awesome all around

[Jonnydread]

Very cool, congrats dude. What's the silver ram-like thing on the passenger's side?

[ChoSanJuan]

I think it's for the fasor return... The bolt is a full on Bushy bolt so there is no back cap with the spring. There's so much speculation, even from back in the day, that it was a 2 way ram or a spring return or some other secret sauce thing. Nobody will ever know till I crack this thing open. (hopefully NOT doing any damage to threads or slots in the process!)

I absolutely cannot wait to see what's going on inside this thing!

Awesome score man. I wanted to build a Bad Company Spyder AMG since I first saw one. But now I'm all about the pistols. So unless I find someone at the field who's selling a working one. I will pass, just to much marker for me. I got no desire to do anymore builds either. .

Small update...
I got it signed by Tom at NXL Chicago and got a digital version to have it lasered on. I did ask him what kind of reg was on there. He said it was an Air America but couldn't remember which model. Incidentally, I have an AA Vigilante on my personal EM1 so regardless, I can get it close enough by swapping over. The rebuild will happen probably through late fall into the spring, depending on my available time.

Cool idea getting the signature.

[ChoSanJuan]

It's funny, because when I cornered him and told him that I have his personal EM1, he looked at me weird and said ArE yOu SuRe It'S mInE??!?!

I assured him it was. When I brought it to him an hour later, he was all oh dang it is!

[scottieb]

And then he said "Give it back."

And you said no.

It is awesome how paintball markers we've used are so nostalgic.

I've always wanted a Spyder EM1, great find
