All of my guns have been used so far. When you only keep them for 6months like i do you loose too much money any other way. ;)

I'm going to be getting a new halfblocked ecocker in a bit. That will be my first new gun. I'm excited.

SL68: preowned
Phantom: preowned
M98: preowned
PGP: preowned
M98C: new
A5: new
SL68II: preowned
RTP: new

The gun I currently shoot is new, as is my backup. (Emag and RTP respectively)

Of course. A collector can not be one if everything they buy is new. At least, not unless they started back in 1981!

Grey Ghost, Bushmaster SI, Gotchas, KP-2, 007, SMG-68, et cetera. All are of course used. I started in 97, no chance in hell could I have got any of these new.

I just bought my first pre-owned gun actually. I sold my Hyperframed RT and bought a stock black ir3. Very nice marker I must add.

I have had a ton of guns. My current mag project is all new hardware except the tank and 2 screws:D . My shocker is used but there isnt a scratch on it so that makes me think the previous owner never played with it.

Used spyder compact was my first one
used p/f mag is my current one

I hope to be able to buy my next one new whenever I get the money to start looking at the high end markers.

i bought my mag a couple years ago off ebay but i have literally replaced every part on it since then so i wont say that it is a pre-owned gun

ive been the second owner of all the markers ive had. it works out nice that way.

My VM and first Classic Mag were new when I got them.

Both my Emags and my Trracer were "Experienced" when I got them. :D

I'd be lying if I didn't say I occasionally regretted that sale... super gun. ;)

I'm one or two steps away from ending up back with an emag in my gun cycle. as for used guns, there are a good number of scams, but there are some awesome deals out there too.

Of the 25+ guns I own only two of them were bought brand new. This was my first Mag back in '93 and the other was my Emag back in '01.

Minimag used through Ebay, I wouldn't buy a Cocker used though or most electrics because of possible high-cost issues that could arise shortly after owning and not easily be identified before with inspection. So any electronic marker I would buy new, and all my Mag upgrades have been new right from AGD and only the rail is stock so basically it became a new gun.

My X-Mag is the first marker I bought "pre-loved".

I bought my mag used as a stock classic automag. It no longer resembles that =) lol

Most people do... hmmm maybe this is why AGD's sales are the best, cause their guns are just too reliable :)

The only gun i would buy used would be a mag. Just get a parts kit and replace all the orings...voila! A brand new gun :)

would a gun purely made of spare parts count as preowned?

I bought my mag used from a neighbor who works at a local field. I think he bought it new, but i dont know. He also has one of the first mags ever made(serial #)I forget what the # was but it was under 75 i think, but i'm not sure. It was pretty cool though.

My 4 main guns right now were all purchased new:
-Viking
-Blazer
-FreeFlow Sniper2 (built it)
-PGP

And I have a brand new X-Mag in the mail.

I do buy used guns from time to time but I usually end up selling them later.

Yeah I shoot a pre owned gun.

Should have bought a new one, this one is so much trouble, because the previous owner didnt know jack about it.

Yes it is my timmy.

Wonder where you got that pile of parts. BTW, was there anything missing? I found a few more Piranha parts in a box.

The gun I'm shooting right now, My Minimag, I bought new. But some of the parts I put on there I bought used like barrels, drops, and my tank.

i shot a used cocker and now shoot a used impulse. i like buying used b/c the previous owner usually has a pretty nice set up already. thats money that you dont hafta spend on parts.

Cryer
06-26-2003, 05:21 PM
I'm not sure how to answer... When I bought my mini, it was pre-owned, but I ended up replacing every part on it. so now my main marker is all new, but I still have all the stock components...
