i have had several players on the field tell me my gun is ancient, and some have even offered to buy it for high dollars. so it got me wondering, how old is my marker? and how do i find the worth.

my marker is a minimag. on the valve it says A.I.R. Valve on the other side it has a serial number of MM00812. i looked around this website and noticed something about warranty stars and stuff like that. this minimag doesnt have any stars on it.

Now that is old. With an 800 serial ... I'd say 91-92.

Yah that predates the star system. Looks like a real nice gun. Well taken care of. :headbang:

Crap. I bought MM00818 new from Paintball Sports of Maryland for Skirmish's 1992 World Record Game, so that would put yours right at about August of 1992 as well.

If you had MM00818, I'd have offered handsomely for it.

Mine looks just like that one, the number on mine is 8844. It also has no stars. I m thinking I bought it in 94. I just played with it again this past weekend for the first time since about 97. I only had to replace one O ring and it was the one on the remote line.

Yep, I would say 92'. If you ever want to sell it, let me know. Nice gun, has the old school Al frame on it. That was before the new fangled Carbon Fiber stuff ;)

Exactly $600 + shipping. (bussed lots of tables for that one back then.)
