i think im gunna spend the 20$ to get it laser engraved. then buy an L stock so, roughly 430-450 $ i figure. watch out stock class im coming back!


ACI maverick--> phantom --> pump mag( planned to make stock)---> PGP2 ---> Palmer!

i might put a pump on my reflex just to try out. i plan on selling it, but a few people wanted it as a pump anyway

only thing is no places around here (withen an hour) really do pump at all :cry:

The Palmer Stockers are, indeed, very nice. But I'm saving my money for the new run of SC Ghosts Lapco's putting out.

i know someone who would want to buy just the parts to change from pump to semi. oh also when your playing pump make sure you are the out numbered one (your whole team uses pumps against semis but that doesnt work at our field :confused: team demolition is unstopable ;)

il definatly review it, but first comes the period of saving. il probibly have enough by XMass

i shot a palmer stroker a long time ago and loved it. i like the heavyer Sheridan design over the nelson, just feels more solid... oohhh i cant wait! right now im at 50$ lol only another like 400 to go! ( id rather get the money than take it outta my savings)

hyper happy! :bounce:

good choice............dont count the phantom out though. very light and just as acurate. in many ways it is a much simpler design.

i owned a phantom for a while and didnt feel for it that much, great gun dont get me wrong but it wasnt heavy enough, it just didnt feel right. ( keep in mind i played 3 years with a vm68 and like 4 with my all stainless steel mag)

as for the sheridan VS nelson design, the only advantage of the nelson design (to me) is its better efficiency at high presure and auto trigger ( wich i dont use anyway)

the pgp i have now is the right feel but lacks a stock. and the barrel has been scared from the previous owner so balls break often( ever had to clean a PGP in the middle of a scenerio game fire fight... NOT fun lol) i think the palmer will be the right feel for me. if i was gunna buy a nelson i would buy the new grey ghost ( 350$) or a carter (for 200 more than i plan on spending)

Pump is pretty much my game.

Have the pump mag now, and love it.

Palmers are nice, My son has a Typhoon, shoots great.

One of my friends has quite a few palmers, and loves them.

Send your PGP into Palmer and have Glenn do his efficiancy job on it, with quick strip bolt. Should run @ 125 for it, and it will work like never before. He will micro hone that barrel so it will never break another ball.

Let me know if you want to sell the pump mag. I may know of a home for it.

lol then u'd be getting it by around... mid feb? they take 6 weeks or so to make unless you get down payments on it and they start early :) and the autotrigger thing, dont they come with auto trigger? i think you can have an option with or without it on the stockers

I know they used to have a kit to make the snipers have auto trigger. I know a field owner in Wisconsin with one. He can sure throw the paint hen he has the AT on.

I beleive JMJ concepts used to make a "sniper" out of WGP bodies that had an autotrigger. it was a fairly interesting way to do it, but I understand it worked very well.

Two things, first, if you decide to sell your pump mag, please let me know.... second, It's easy to put a stock on that PGP. I've had one on mine, but it's currently off, here's a pic (with my Pump Mag Infact)

You can get this adapter through Palmers, check out thier website and look under stocks and tanks (or something like that), you can then put any screw in style stock on it. The one on my PGP can from DOc Nickel, and has a lock down ring as well as 2 1/8" ports for gauges/QD's for remote use. Here's a close up of the adapter and the stocks connection

whee finaly found it! pushed waay too far back already.. have you tried an illusion? both super stocker and illusion are supposed to have excellent pump strokes, i just want to know which is smoother.

I love the look of super stockers, there better be pictures when you get it :D Ive always wanted one of those, but I will just stick with my Phantom for now.

i think im gunna spend the 20$ to get it laser engraved

Craig Palmer says that the laser engraving doesn't work very well on the nickel, you should use their regular engraving.
