    Im not an old man,.. but I had a "Sand-Box" before,... so I'll post.

    Looks like the last verison of the Sandridge F5 after the box version I had. There were 3 versions as I re-call.

    The first was the one I had which had the box mounted at the bottom of the trigger frame on the cradle mount. The front end used the Clippard can solenoids. It did not offer an "eye" setup until version 2 came out.

    The second setup was the same as the first version only: the box was a bit smaller, the front end had gone the way of using a more updated version of the Clippard solenoids, and eye support was added.

    The third was the one you have pictured there: front end now used a MAC large 6-8 way solenoid (disscontinued,... and replaced by the 4300 series I think), the eye support was updated and changed (I dont know what to), the addition of the reed switch (which it looks like you have) mounted to the ram to work in relaction to the eye for faster ball detetion and shorter cycle delay on the cocking return.

    ** this was/is a rumor from a buddy of mine who used to work for free flow: "That verison you have, was the EARLY version of a cross between the Osiris kit & an air hammer valve (one of the first ideas from the guys that did the MQ) ** --- take that as a complete RUMOR. Im not saying its true.

    That body you got (Free Flow 2k millenium edition),.. is the best cocker body I ever had! If you got the FF internals as well,.. you are VERY lucky. Nice grab!

      you are correct sir. This is a sandridge autococker f5, this is the tiny tornado version. The big change for the tt is the boxless mod which makes the setup look real clean.

      Yes it has ff internals. Its a great marker and works like a champ even for its age.

      I wasnt bashing anyone, i just thought the sandridge was more well known.

            Lol, man that is a beast of an overcomplicated e cocker. I would hate to have to hunt down a problem, or much less parts for that thing.
            I am guessing that it is awesome for that rare little piece of paintball history. Because of that it would be a nice addition to the pegboard, but you would never in a million years see me trying to actually use that beast.

            I actually would think it has to be worth a touch in that special circle of collectors that know what it is.
