    brass cocker body?

    Did anyone ever make a full brass cocker body?

    And, since reds appears to be no more, what is a good comparable barrel swab?

      I really like the idea of it and im working on a project. I think it would be the bees knees to have a brass body.

      I bet if you found a chunk large enough and sent it to the right place they would build it. I once had access to a piece long and tall enough, but not quite wide enough.

          It's been done by a member on here. I've seen it in a MOTM competition. People have also put E frames on modified sheridans, which is effectively a brass bodied E cocker once all said and done.


          Edit: I would argue that Jordan, and Xemon have made their own renditions of brass cockers, and Cfos00 has one that tymcneer made, and jeeper resoldered.

            I did three....

            But not in the traditional sense, they were soldered together but used cocker 11/16 lower tube geometry.

            Romulus and Remus were matching double barrels. I own Romulus. Remus my friend who is mostly analog owns... He bought enough material to make two as payment for me making them.

            But waaaaaay before that I built "The imperial" for an old MCB steampunk build off. I didn't win because mine was more high concept than purely steam punk. The build was based on the question "what if paintball never progressed passed feed tubes, brass, and unibody guns.

            It's cool looking but ultimately had some flaws in design. The barrel/body is a J&J vm68 16 inch.

            There was a CCM J2L done in full brass. It was pieced together bit by bit. I use to have a picture of it when I did Social Media.

              I made brass tubes for my Spanky, was thinking about doing that again and making a full brass marker.

                  Where would you source the brass?

                  My T2F had a large assortment of brass parts and it was borderline to heavy. A full brass body frame reg and barrel will be a fatty for sure!

                    It's more of a re-arranged Trilogy, really... I put the 3-way on the driver's side to make the hose routing neater.

                      I made a brass t2 body for a friend back in 2005/6.. he unloaded it in 2008 and I’ve never seen it since… still makes me sad.

                      And to answer your second question that most people seemed to skip, Exalt Barrel Maids are the best squeegee/barrel swab in the game right now.

                        I second the Exalt. I have not found a better one yet.
