I don't know if this has been posted here or not, but I couldn't find it. This is just a wakeup call.

That was by far the worst case of ghetto rigged crap I have ever seen on an otherwise good looking marker. I cannot believe the buyer didn't say anything.

Regardless for $150 that wasn't too bad. There were still some good parts on it.

Whoever sold him that totally owned that cocker, that's just rediculous! Who in their right mind would ever do that? It makes me want to cry :cry:

shouldnt have been so eager, maybe get some feedback, a backround check, positive id
then asked for close ups of the gun
then should of asked if he would ship first


but what we didnt see was if it worked when he shipped it (maybe its possible that all that ghetto-fying worked?)

As a self confessed and field known cocker shooter/lover/tech...I can honestly say that that nearly brought tears to my eyes...That may have been one of the most sickeningly stupid things ive ever seen someone do to a cocker...

sometimes asking for pics, feedback, background check, positive id, bra size, blood type, favorite tv show, and pics of the gun is too much time if it's a really good deal. Many people might be checking out that same gun and making offers on it. I'm not saying not to, because I usually do it too, but I've also lost some auctions by asking for pics and performance.

Also, all he said was that there were some scratches on the LPR and some hoses missing

That's the gun that Homer Simpson would have owned if he played paintball.

I'll buy it for $200 :D

[Pump Scout]

CQ already sold that, post-repair, over on the Tinker's Guild, I believe. It was either that, or it went on Ebay.

..omg dude...

[Rudz]

abuse againts a cocker!!! i demand justice..gross negligence..physical abuse,..owner idiocy...complete disregard for proper procedure!!! somebody lock the person up!!!! thanks for buying that off him, who knows what else he would have done...the previous owner should be ashamed!!!

[nryche]

reading that almost made me cry :cry:

[WARPED1]

I saw that on PBN a few months ago, I read the whole thing. Great story.

Thats why you gotta buy new, unless you can actually see the thing.

Or only deal with mature sellers, like most people here on AO! :clap:

[noahyay]

wwwwwwhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!

:cry:

If I were a field owner I would not let that gun anywhere near my field. I wouldnt want anyone to get hit in the face with half of an LPR.

Field owners never check structural integrity of guns, refs don't either. Hell, I've had a 3 year out of hydro tank filled all day, just to check on refs. Not one ever checked the hydro dates.

And JB Weld................

[mcclare]

I don't know wtf this guy was thinking. JB weld? Clearly duct tape is the obvious choice

Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side. It has a dark side. And it binds the universe together.

O-ring wrapped in teflon tape? Its like 10 cents for a new one, is he that cheap?

[FreakBaller12]

he can't be that cheap, there's like a gallon, yes a gallon, of jb weld and teflon.

[Cow hunter]

maybe he just wanted to mess it uo as bad and discretly as possible
but that gun has been to hell and back
/ :dance:
//dont really know what that was for....

[hitech]

BTW, that teflon tape "trick" has saved many orings for me. :wow:

[Strider]
