i still preach the goodness of air america products; i should get a dealers license and sell the stuff around here.

if your looking for info it is just a tank mounted raptor tank form air america; it was the first name signature series paintball equipment.

if you go to Air America's website they will have inforamtion on the system. just look for the raptor air system manual.

As for who is Fred Shultz... he was the celebrity on the pro team Constant Pursuit back in the early nineties but then somehow Fred became more of a master of cerimonies in the paintball community.

Mind you this was back in the days when Dave Youngblood was shooting a nickel plate carter cocker and/or VM68. (This was before DYE barrels)the days when people used CO2 and the expansion chamber costed over 100 dollars... ah the whisper death expansion chamber....
If you can find any of the old ESPN games Fred is one of the guys that does some of the comentary. ( i remember him shooting the tippmann FA for demonstration) He also was the guy that hosted a paintball challenge for MTV's show "Road Rules"

Wow the regulator for those tanks look like the back halves of 'mag valves. :)

[Richter]

yep it s the same thing as the back half of the automag classic valve

I will post some pix tonight.

I believe the tank has an origional 1996 hydro date on it.
It has been in store for some time and I have just got it retested in 2003.

That means the tank was probably new in '93. Tanks have a 15 year life. After 15 years the tank can not be used and "should not" even pass hydro testing. So if was was new in '93 then come 2008 you have to trash the tank. You could have the reg put on a new tank at that time, but I would suggest not bothering

well since everybody here seems so interested I have a 68 3k Fred Shultz tank that I'd be willing to part with. If you're interested pm me.

i think i still got my old 1-888-PAINTBALL catalog showing the debut of this nitro system...

btw, they might be "rare" these days but they are hardly a collectors item!!

Hey some people collect the strangest things, 'cos they want to...don't burst their bubble. If the right offer was made mine could be sold too, but then as I don't use it anymore, plus it would be a first for me to actually sell something to do with paintball, have sold a couple of masks but that don't count

PS Swamp try clicking the attach box then we can see your pic

[swamprat33]
