It's final: I'm getting a pump

[mjs1217]

I've been debating what my new marker should be for a while, and I have decided to make it a pump. I used to use a pump, but then switched to a semi. Now I think ill go back to using a pump with a 12oz co2 tank and interchange a 10rnd tube with a viewloader, depending on what the game calls for. This would be allowed in a pump tourney, right? (a pump with a 12oz and viewloader?)

Now for the actual gun... I was thinking a Phantom of some sort, or maybe a Bud Orr Sniper. I'm open to your guy's input!

Yes, you can use pumps in tournies....Can't use a viewloader in a stock class tourney though. Go with a Phantom.

[mjs1217]

Also, would a STOCK class gun be eligible in a pump tournament?


And which phantom? at 888paintball they have like 20!

yes....

Ok thanks, now please excuse my n00bness but the thing right infront of the trigger on this phantom is a tank right? is it pump/stock legal?


(EDIT: i'm also having trouble finding a good place to buy a phantom except 888paintball. anyone know another place?)

[sneakyhacker420]

dream phantom...mmmmmm

[mjs1217]

In that picture, the little bottle. How big is that? Is it unscrewable?

[Lee]

pump mag is smoother than either the phantom or sniper and much less pump stroke, like 1" and the spring forward assist actually works.
silverfoxtrading@aol.com makes pump rods for like 5$ (still waiting for mine though)and pump bodies can be hard to find but not impossible. i have had 4 or 5 recently. sorry, all are spoken for on projects.

i will soon have a pump mag for sale though.......

[madmatt151]

Have you considered a Sterling. I own one and it is the BEST. Phantoms are sweet, but my Sterling feels like no other. If you are used to a Cocker or another gun like that you will feel right at home. There is a good one for sale on ebay right now. Here's the link:

Just a suggestion...

[madmatt151]

It isn't a tank, it is a 12 gram CO2 catridge. They last for like 20-30 shots and you must screw them in. The screw in CO2 adapter is required for stock class. If you want to play a regualr pump game you can use a CA tank (9, 12, 16oz etc). Here is a recent picture of my Sterling. Drool :)

[mjs1217]

Ahhhhh okay, so its like a 12-gram holder?

So... it unscrews, you put a 12 gram into it, then your screw it back in?



(PS I knew what a 12 gram was :D)

[Lee]

:-)

[magman007]

OK, if your going to get a pump, and you want tp playt stock class, get a phantom.



Now, get a vsc(verticle stock class) Like that one yo uhave pictured in, and then grab the 45 frame(much more comfey IMH0) and grab a stock. CCI makes an amazing temescoping stock, i must say, i love mine alot. THe veed tube up top is all your decision, but i must say, i like the 15 rnd.


Also, the nice thing about the phantom, is you can swap the bodies much like a mag, and go from stock class to vert feed bodies in a matter of seconds. ALso, ohantoms are by far the ewasiest marker to take care of. there alot like mags in this respect.

[mjs1217]

K, thanks for the info.... Also I don't have the cash for a pump mag. Soemone, please answer my questions bout the bottle! (scroll up one or 2 posts)

[irbodden]

I want a Pump Mag :(

[madmatt151]

Damn thos phantoms look good! I might have to go and get one soon.

[madmatt151]

It is a 12 gram holder. You DO have to screw it in and out. What other questions do you have? I thought they were answered.

[-=Squid=-]

Hey I have an urban camo phantom with a 45 frame and daisy dot site, it was used three times and bought new...It was also 300 new, I will sell it to you for 200 if you are interested, just let me know...its a great buy.

[mjs1217]

Ok thanks, my questions are answered :D.

Also, sorry im not intrested in yer gun. Thanks anyway though!

[FalconGuy016]

Magman, what color is your phantom? Is it acid green?

[dansim]

i have a green phantom like magman007s for sale, check the f/s marker section

[CaptainChops]

Not to take away from Phantoms or anything, but just to give another option- If you're on a budget or you're just plain poor (like me:D ), a really good pump for a really good price is the PMI Trracer. I picked mine up for 50 bucks, and I firmly believe that it's the best deal I've gotten so far in buying paintball stuff. It's very accurate, even with the stock barrel, and low maintanence (the 'gun's got like parts to it- duh:-p). But, I'm not really sure about the variety of upgrades or barrels available for it, if that's something you're taking into effect...

[Fred]

By definition stock class markers run on 12 gram CO2 cartridges, and have a paralel to barrel feed tube that holds no more than 15 rounds.

I have a SC Phantom, had a VSC before, its great.

I also have a sterling, which is available in SC versions now... :)

You can use an SC marker in any tourney... but unless you have mad skillz I wouldn't recommend it, but it has been done, to a high level of success (Total Grief maxed the AKA Factory team once...)


Who has 3 pump-mags! Stop hoarding them!!!
:D

For a cheap SC marker, go with a PGP or P68. Built like tanks, they're great outa the box, and with a few upgrades can be VERY nice... :)

Go to www.stockclasspaintball.com and visit their store. He's got really good prices on Phantoms (cheaper than directly from CCI). Personally I find the 45 frames much more comfortable than the lonestar grips, but they're a bit more expensive.

[magman007]

yep falcon, thats an acid green. I got her in a trade for my old e-mag. that gun is worth about 350, plus 475 for my e-mag, i think was a good deal :)

that gun brand spanking new costs 320... tops... used VSCs go for around 250$...

Still nice though, Acid green is one of the colors that the phantom looks pretty hot in. I'm partial to Urban Camo though... :D

[Kaiser Bob]

A great option if you have the cash is the AM Illusion pump. They are very well designed, one of the best ive used, and versitile, swap from centerfeed to 10 round by changing the feed tube.

well new, with everything.... Including borth breaches, hardline etc, it hits about 350.... Telescoping stock as well... :)

[Fred]

Ah, that's a bit different... lemme restate that as "As Pictured..." ;)

350$ is actually pretty good if you got the whole matching setup...
