All the Nelson bells and whistles (in 1991 anyway)
The feed can be swapped left or right
The barrel came off with a single knurled nut.
The pump handle comes off with quick releases
The bolt does not kink
Delrin bolt with a diffuser bolt face available
The trigger could be locked aft with the safety to allow auto-trigger with your finger off the trigger (not sure about the value of that, but it was available).
Nice, adjustable slide trigger.
Velocity was adjusted by a hex rod down the barrel.
Mine had a ball detent (home brewed).
It could have used helicoils in the screw holes and a 'cocker-threaded barrel, but other than that, it was a sweet old marker.

Line SI. Those old deluxe Bushies were so damn sexy with their wire sticks and dropouts .

I like the 2nd? Gen Hammers the A / P series. Ajustable velocity by ajustable bolt. Spyder threaded so barrels are easy to find, and the pump handle has a removable inner sleeve to fix different diameter barrels. The only thing they are lacking is a ball detent.Leave a comment:

The 2006 Lapco Grey Ghost has a very elegant trigger and comes with a built in Spyder detent to prevent rollouts.
It was a very nice shooter.Leave a comment:

Only thing I can add is..you can also, swap-in any phantom grip, on to a maverick or tracer...👍 -
My experience with Nelsons isn't very extensive (mainly a sniper guy), but my favorite is the PMI Trracer/ACI Maverick. They're not as nice as a Phantom in the fit/finish department, but they're rock solid, the factory grips are super comfortable IMO and they pump WAAAAY easier than a Phantom thanks to the side-cocking pump arms. I think they're a great bang for the buck as well.
I've never owned a Carter, but I wouldn't mind trying one some day.Leave a comment:

Your Favorite Nelson-Based That Isn't a Phantom or Carter
Tell me about your favorite Nelson-based marker, and why it is "the best" in your opinion. I want to hear about others aside from CCI and Carter.
