Mid-Priced hp electro or cocker?

[Krazy Ivan]

Hey guys, I'm selling off my shocker, it just isn't me at all, only have huge barrels is one thing, but not being able to use my hp max-flo kills me. So I'm selling it to a buddy of mine for 350, was looking into buying a 2k3 stock cocker or maybe like a Timmy or something priced around there.

Or I could just get his 2 1998 cockers and give him the shocker.

Looked into the Impulse but it's operating pressure is that of a shocker, so no hp max-flo=not an option. I'm starting with 350, and might buy one used, so I'm topping out the fund at about $500-600.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Id say get an 2k3 cocker with a new trigger frame and whatever other upgrades you can afford

[Muzikman]

Umm, why not just get the LP spring pack for the Max-Flo?

[Mr. T!]

Go with a bushy for the price. You can find a used one no prob and they are very dependable guns. A new top of the line one is about 550, and well worht it. The new ones have a great anti chop eye, and are very very fast guns.

I have the mid-pressure spring, it comes witha hp max-flo, but the lp spring and mid/high pressure springs aren't interchangeable.


The lp Max-flo's are hollowed out more and a lp spring can't fit in a hp reg, and a hp spring won't sit right in a lp max-flo.

I say go with a new impy for 400...they are fantastic, and there is no way you will find a classic timmy for under 400....I sold mine for 500...

I would actually like to buy a impulse, however if you read the above thread, I would have to run it on CO2, which I have a great distaste for, because it runs on lp, and I don't have a lp tank, and no my tank can't be brought down to lp with a different spring.

If I were to use the hp max-flo anyway, it would be regulated down using the guns max-flo reg, however if I tried to shoot more than about 3-4 balls per second, the gun would starve.

So your basing your gun buying on an accessory of a gun? Why not sell the max-flo and buy a gun you WANT not get a gun because of the max-flo

[Krazy Ivan]

I just bought the max-flo last fall, paind 430 for it, so I'm kinda attached to it, that and the fact that I have my lvl 10 mag to use the max-flo with. I wanted to be able to use my tank on both guns. The only way I could grab down an impulse is to maybe get a lp crossfire tank or something, but then I would have to find a good deal on the tank and pulse.

Well, unless you wanna risk buying used, your not gonna find a timmy for that price range. I say go for the cocker, get yourself an eclipse hinge frame, palmer rock and maybe a barrel set or something.

[Krazy Ivan]

On that note, should I get the 2 used 98 cockers, and sell them? will I be able to get more than 350 for them, mostly stock, new bolt, I think one has a new valve, or should I sell off the shocker and go for the 2k3 with the stock hinge frame.

[FeuerFri]

888paintball has new cockers for 250, and a henge is like 100 and some, or i think you buy the cocker with a henge for around 360, that may be your best bet, plus with 888 if you call in the order you get free 2day shipping which is sweet.

[dropkick1]

hey man, whats up? anyways, don't get the 2 1998 cockers, you'll never be able to sell them, atleats on here, just go for the 2k3 cocker and it alreadt comes witha hinge on it.

system-x cocker nice pneunamics and a hinge frame(or whatever they call it)

[bunkermaster10]

Get the smart parts impulse. Good price about 400 bucks and nice short pull.

[Krazy Ivan]

If one more person recommends and impulse, it would be awesome if they know of some place I can get a cheap lp tank, I found a 45/45 crossfire lp screw-in on pbgear.com for 189.00, however that means I'll hit near 600, when I can start looking at basic used Timmy's around 600. The 2k3 cocker looks good, but I just have to get my buddy to sell off his 2 98's on ebay or something and hopefully get 350 for them.

no you dont...I run mine on an 800psi 45/45 tank, and get about 1200 shots per fill....lol. Get an impy, lalala.

[Krazy Ivan]

Dude, you serious? What kind of impy, did it start as a stock impy or not? Because I would def. get one if I could run it off like 400-800 psi but I figured since it says on the smart parts site that it runs off of 180 psi that it would operate like my shocker did. On the shocker if I ran over 300psi into it I could shoot like 3 times then I would get massive shootdown.
