To me, it looks a little home made or a possibly botched body kit from Boston Paintball. but im basing this on the unsmooth lines in the center of the body and the ASA.

so any imput on this would be great

I'm thinking someone with a decent enough mill decided to try and duplicate one of the Twister bodies. That doesn't look like a production Boston Twister body; it just doesn't scream quality like the others that I've seen.

Looks like a CNC test piece to me....at least that's how many of mine turn out on the first go around. ;)

Doesn't look to me like anything that some good finish work and a nice anno couldn't fix.

An acid wash would be nice to cover the slight inperfections.

i know the last few left feed twisters that were sold by bps or t2(anthony) were unpolished and un anodized. im assuming this is one of them. if i remeber right they were sold within the last year.

once polished for ano some of the sharp edges should soften.

i remember T2 had a twister with a slight error in the milling that was still good but BPS decided not to sell. this could be the same thing.

Hold on! Hold on!

If that is the Twister body that Azreal over at AIR had, it is an actual BPS Twister body. All those raw left feed bodies are REAL TWISTERS. They are the very last bodies made, thus p-blocked. Ask me how I know? I bought that body for Matt direct from BPS. They are just very raw. They need polishing, obviously. I saw all 4 of the remaining left feeds, and actually bought the last anod p-blocked vert feed Twister body.

So, yes, real deal. You have one of the last Twister bodies ever made. Nice one!

Here is mine:

Yeah that looks like the one I sold, its a real twister like Luda said.

I would have kept it had it been vert feed.
