    Holy jeeze! Look at the size of this tank!

    I was perusing Craigslist today and found this.



    And just in case the Craigslist post gets deleted or you're too lazy to click the link, here's one of the pictures from the ad:

      And for the record. If anyone has a set of those tank rings, I would LOVE to purchase a set!

          I did use it with a remote at the time but some guys I know used it on gun like you see in the picture. It's a big black bohemoth with a very large reg. The very first nitro duck tank...

            Nitroduck. It's long, but it's not as fat as a 114.

            Flatliner has one, I think it looks bigger than it actually is.

                Most likely. It does look pretty skinny. Though it's almost as long as the gun, including the barrel.

                  I have/had one of those tanks...144ci I think. Awsome tank with a really unique mounting system - adjustable from front to back for just the right feel. I loved it, but my reg went south, and they have non-standard threads, so I can't replace it with something off-the-shelf... Original hydro was 1995, so I am not sure I could even get it hydro'd again anyway...15 year duty-cycle, right?

                        The one in the center would be it! does that one have a 15 year life cycle as mentioned above? I would love to use it with my RT if there isn't a limit... What size is that again?

                          Size ; BIG , it does have a ND reg with Ashcroft gauges , the origional date is 5 / 95 , ( does that mean it was made 5 / 92 ? ) the " new " hydro was 6 /99 , I think its a little out of hydro , I bought it as a novelty

                            I played a few games with one of those strapped to my 95 cocker. Fairly quick after the purchase I switched over to using it with a remote. I remember sooooo many people being afraid because they equated the tank size to how "hard" the balls would hit them....

                              The tank on craig's list was called a feather lite tank because it was much lighter than the first nitro duck 144 pictured later in this thread. Back then those big tanks were great because very few fields had compressed air and you could get about 1800 shots out of one with a mag. I still have a fanny pack laying around that will fit those. Here are some old school pics on my buddies face book of those tanks. These will bring back memories for you Kurtisqpublic.
