What did you get in the mail today?

[procarbie]

Coupla newborn lil baby hpas, ain’t they cute?

Edit: added a second pic in case anyone wants a better look at these. The bottoms are socket-slotted for some reason, I assume for tightening on when you put your reg in?

@XEMON

Yup. Probably would’ve been good of me to have considered before purchasing haha. I am a little baffled by the lack of DOT cert, as they are still air tanks intended to be filled to 4500psi. I reached out to ans about it and according to them “a paintball store will know what they are and fill them,” but I have my doubts. Currently unsure of what to do with them. Which leads into:

@The Great Equalizer

That’s the thing. There isn’t a website apparently, I searched for one. ANS says they come from “Core Paintball,” but as far as I know that could be entirely made up.

So I’m torn as to what to do with these things. They appear rock solid, but I think I’m going to see if I can at least get them hydrotested before I try to fill them. I know that won’t grant DOT certification, but it will grant peace of mind.

Am I wrong in thinking that it’s weird that they are being sold without certification? The tank doesn’t care whether it’s being used in a game or for reg testing, the certification is just there to make sure it’s safe to fill. 4500psi is 4500psi. Seems like a pretty dangerous business model for old angsrgrrr.

EDIT: gotta learn how to do that @ thing haha

[Brokeass_baller]

Core is an ANS brand. If they aren't stamped DOT/TC, then they aren't DOT or TC certified. Plain as that.

That said, I'm in the minority that thinks the certification standards are a bit over the top. If you're just using them to tech equipment, I would be fine doing that, personality. But I would probably only fill them to 3k. If you want to use them in-game, your hydrotest idea ain't bad.

[The Great Equalizer]

I say try to get them filled and go from there. It looks like thick machined steel, so I wouldn't worry about them. I once saw a commercial HPA fill tank fall out of a pickup and it was fine... It might be worth taking in to AirGas or a local welding/industrial gas shop with one of those and ask them what it is. I'm 100% sure ANuS Gear isn't having it made just for them, I'm sure its some standard industrial part that they're re-purposing.

The "@" process seems to work sporadically for me. The only thing I'm relatively sure of is, if it doesn't work, editing the post doesn't help, you have to delete the post and create a new post. I also thought multiple word names like mine would be harder to use, but they seem to work just as well as single word names.

Got a dust blue mini CP on/off, but it’s seems a bit darker than the rest of my PMR blue bits. Anyone have a lighter one on hand they’d like to trade? It’ll come with one plug - the macro fitting will stay w me. Used but the only signs of wear are on the rail section.

It might take me awhile to go through all this:








These are new to me.... I'll have to do some studying.....

[Walker]

A friend contacted me, and asked if I was still into paintball, and would I be interested in buying all of his gear. I told him I'd take it, not knowing what all he had. It turned out to be a good bit. He named his price, and it was at about the right level, considering everything has set for the last 10-years or so. Seals and batteries will need to be replaced, but It was stored well, and is not abused in any way.

Too bad the chameleon frames aren’t in the proteus.

[BrickHaus]

Man that bob long splash barrel looks like a possible match to my bob long.

That mag is nice!

[Walker]

[Brokeass_baller]

I can read AK pretty clearly on it.

[zinger565]

Ah, yeah, see it now. Couldn't see it on my phone screen

[Brokeass_baller]

No worries home slice. I didn't mean to be a dick. I wear glasses, but fortunately, I'm VERY near-sighted. Thank the Lord I can read my phone and books without my glasses. Anything after about 8', it gets blurry.

Blazer goods: rock valve body, spare rebuild kit, and single trigger 45 frame.

Edit:
Installed on Blazer. Not sure how I feel about the blue on nickel. Might grow on me.

[Loophole]

A Sandridge!

[Loophole]

They are really neat, if you have time here is a youtube video giving a more detailed breakdown!

[XEMON]

Awesome, thanks. I'll go through it 😁

[latches109]

Gets us a shooting video

[DocsMachine]

Man, it's been a long time since I've seen a complete Sandwidge. Am I seeing things, or did they misinstall the feed neck? It almost looks like it's been pinned or peened in place, so it seems like it might have been deliberate...

Doc.

[Loophole]

Right! This F5 and a F5 Tiny Tornado on a beautiful Yin Yang Spanky fishbobe were both listed on Ebay in the same week. Someone was hiding all the unicorns! I'll have to take a closer look at the feedneck when some free time pops up.

[zinger565]

New (to me) hotness:

[ChuckLove]

Thanks to Hellion360 for the beautiful Fulcrum!

[ChuckLove]

Chuck E Ducky I put a couple hoppers through it today and she shoots as good as she looks! 👍

[Chuck E Ducky]

I like the way Hellion tunes cockers. Every cocker I have gotten from him shoots perfect.

[Hellion360]

Thanks Chucks! Glad you are liking it.

[Magageddon]

Not in the mail, but on craiglist I got these 2 this morning. Planet eclipse 05 ego and a SL94 with a couple rotors and some gear. Both air up and shoot no leaks

[Brokeass_baller]

You're officially 2009 agg.

[latches109]

great find, what did you pay for the lot?

[Magageddon]

paid 700 for the lot

[zinger565]

Got my OCDPaintball holiday mystery pod today. Mrs Z took the microfiber and made it a decoration. 🤣

[The Great Equalizer]

Randy Quaid just bought a house in the neighborhood behind me. No one is really sure how to feel about that considering his last couple of years have been lived like a real life Cousin Eddie.

[RuleOfSines]

Forgot to post when I got this guy, Sterling Sovereign - Peculiar Paintball

[scottieb]

Man, I love that thing!

[latches109]

Super cool!

[Roger7pball]

[ZaDeer]

Whoa. Whoa whoa whoa, slow down with the hotness!
