im prolly gonna get owned for saying this, because when I open my mouth I usually am proven retarded, but I think it looks like an old phantom...

[dansim]

looks like an old buzzard to me

[WARPED1]

Definatly a Carter of some sort.

[Quickling]

its a carter Comp. Buzzards are side cocking, while comps are undercockers.

It is a Comp. I am trying to figure out if it's an NW or Carter. The problem is that NW used the same parts to make the Comp as Carter did (seeing as Nicky Wilson was Carter's wife;))

If the wooden grip panels are glued on, its a carter... if they're screwed on, its a NW... at least that was the way to tell as it was decribed to me at Castle Conquest when some guys were poring over really old unidentified nelson pumps...

that one looks pretty nice... california bottle setups are too cool!

That is called a ''Frank Gun '' it was made by a man named Frank , has a very custom valve assembly , pumping is similar to a sniper II and only 58 were made.

It looks close to a frank gun however the sight rail is different as well as the cocking system.
The frank gun is a side cocker mine is a bottom cocker.
Oh yea the grips are screwed on mine has the grips glued on.

What the hell are you smoking cause I want some! First off, it pumps nothing like a sniper II. If you would have said that it pumped more like a Phantom, someone might actually believe you. :)

Posted a link to show differences.

hmm..ok...so it's a nelson based pump. Still nothing like a Sniper II:)

Edit: If you want to compare it to something that people know, tell them it works like a Trracer or Hornet:)

[WARPED1]

It's not even a distant cousin to a Sniper 2, a Sniper 2 is what the cocker pneus were put on to make it an AUTOmated COCKing pump gun. It's a Nelson based gun, which most mid 80's pumps were.

i only found out that paintball existed about 6 years ago. its crazy to see all these guns from the 80s and people remembering them and talking about them. just thought its kinda cool how far paintball has come and how people actually played it and got into it since before i was even born. from those simple pumps to high tech electros w/ multiple function lcd screens, amazing rofs, breach sensors, etc....... it really is crazy.

[WARPED1]

I've been playing 13 years, 14 in June. I came in right after the NelSpot era as PMI introduced the PMI DF and PGP's and such.

[Muzikman]

I started playing in 92 so pumps were still common, but semi's were starting to take over. I did play one game in 89 with what I think was probably a Splattmaster, but to be honest I can't remember.

Don't worry, kid.... you'll get up to speed eventually. ;)

My vote goes to a Carter, but not many made Carters and NWs made it out my way back in the day. It's been ages since I've held either. My gut tells me that's not an unreasonable ebay auction, you should get a good price for it considering the awesome shape.
