AO member 'Law' used to have a SFL. That would have been about 4 years ago. Not sure if he sold it since then. He was in the Milwaukee area.

My purple people eater doesn't play nice, for some odd reason she doesn't like semi, she bounces a set of double d's, and she's bloody fast, I love it, lolol, and she's still gorgeous, mmmm hmmmm nice and tasty

PsychoBaller Leaves the SFL "Mafia"

This decision has been on my mind for a long time, but it's finally time to say adieu. I said I'd never sell her, but times have changed... I have changed. Expressing the below won't be short and simple, as it isn't by any means .


I've never had a lot of extra $, no more than 4-5 Markers at any one time, not a "marker-whore", and like to keep my collection efficient. If a marker was/is not getting used on a regular basis, it's purged. Surely, if life wasn't as difficult as it is right now, and I had unlimited $, the SFL would never leave my side. There's unfortunately no room for me to keep a paintball marker purely based on sentimental value alone these days. Thus, my SFL E-Mag has been SOLD. A phenomenal shooter, she will be missed dearly.


Got my first Mag in 96', a Classic, then upgraded to a RT Original in 98'. Had a bunch of other markers too, but sold/traded off those two by 02', when I somehow, and luckily, got a hold of the Red SFL E-Mag. She's been my main marker ever since, through the years on 2 all-Mag Tournament Teams, Collegiate level play, to the current Scenario scene.


SFL E-Mag Gallery

I'm one of if not the last original SFL owner's, or at the least, owned an SFL longer than just about any AO'er to date. Being an X-Mag proto-type however, the SFL was plagued with problems at the start of our relationship, unbeknownst to many. When she went down yrs ago at the AO MegaMeet, even Tom Kaye himself didn't know what was wrong with her. Should have worked after replacing everything internally, she just didn't. Good news is that we did eventually diagnose/fix all issues, and since 05', she's been running smoothly at 100%.

Regardless of the initial hiccups, how much I've enjoyed her looks, feel, rarity, and the prestige she's brought... there were always a couple things I secretly disliked, and was jealous of other markers for. Things such as air efficiency, weight, batteries/life/weight, recoil, "chuffing", some other stuff, weighed on my thoughts.


The SFL took a backseat this year, even getting dusty at times after months of non-use. At the start of 08', I picked up what now is my main marker, and ridiculously new favorite, an 04' AKA Viking - AKA DC Viking #1. I'm both happy & sad to say, Vikings are just superior markers in just about all areas (imo), so much so that I spent the last 6months having a 2nd one fully done up - AKA DC Viking #2. Having tried and owned many other electros, I do find it slightly odd that another rare-ish marker replaced the SFL; not as rare, but where the company ceased production yrs ago. Glad it was an AKA though.


Don't bother pm'ing me regarding selling the SFL to you. There will be be NO sale thread / NO ebay auction, as the SFL is already spoken for and will be changing hands this weekend. If he who is acquiring her would like to speak up, he will do so. Many know of him, and I consider him to be one of the most upstanding members in the Paintball Community today, at least that I know of.


Though I was roughly the 200th member to join AO, even before AGD bought this forum, I don't post here as much as I used to... and while it has definitely changed quite a bit from the old days, I will still stop by to see & say what's up.


So that's it... see ya'll when I see ya.

This is the first time I have posted in a very long time; paintball took a backseat to the wife, daughter, and job for the last few years. I sent my purple SFL Emag to Tunaman about 2 years ago for repair work and then forgot about it until last night. I emailed him this morning so that I can get him paid for the work/storage and get my SFL back home. Hopefully, I hear back soon.

Wait... what!?

The other day I went to the shop by me to get some tanks filled and pick up some macro stuff.
I knew they had an e-mag but I didn't know too much about 'mags at the time and hadn't been in there in a while.
When I saw this I grabbed my cell phone. Pic is kind of sub-par because I had to zoom in a lot, hopefully you can see it.



It's between the Nova and the Spyder.

They have a lot of cool stuff on their wall: A bunch of Piranha long/short barrels, a pgp or 2, Nelspot 007, a typhoon, some old sterlings, a couple old phantoms, tippmann sl-68 II, tippmann 68 special, Bushmasters, classic 'cockers, etc, etc, and even a 6-pak. I should have snapped that as well.

Its the BBT in Orland, IL. One more for the list, I guess.

That SFL (#20) was actually used in the World Cup by Manny from Aftershock.

Here is a better picture of it...

Thanks for the other pictures though!!!

[Watcher]

Really? Cool. Now I really want to steal it

Nah, jk.

Next time I'm there I'll snap the 6-pak. I think it is on an Araura (sp?) sterling.

gloss purple sfl? yeah, tuna had to beat a few od us back from it with a baseball bat..then he put a bear trap around it...those things hurt...its still there buddy, just alot of drool on it

[Augiedoggy18]

I am happy (and sad at the same time) to report that Tunaman is the proud new owner of my SFL Emag. With me not getting to play much any more, I thought that my SFL should go to someone who will truly appreciate it. I know he will.

Nick

[MANN]

let the bidding begin

[bunny5]

Augiedoggy18: Sorry to hear about that. Hopefully you got well compensated for your loss I just updated the thread and hopefully Tuna will snap some pics for us. If not i'll have to send BigE to break into tunamans lair to snap a couple

MANN: For some reason I think this will be another SFL to be buried with its owner.


The SFL Mafia Strikes again!
