interested in getting a pump....

[madcrisis]

ive always been a fan of phantoms but after seeing a couple of nice cocker pumps at the field im not sure.....

opinions on both? or other reccomendations maybe? im looking for a pump that can be had at around 200 so keep that in mind with your recomendations

The new Metadyne pump is $200 preordered. Seems to be well received on MCB, and I think it looks awesome.

Which, I believe, is so far only a stock class pump. Which you could decide before hand...

stock class, open class, both, or in-between? You can mod a cocker like a mag, into most anything you want. Phantoms/nelsons tend to be a little less flexible, but for some, less is more. 12g, CO2 bottle, or hpa? Tubes or hopper?

If you don't know what you want, a "cocker" is easy to fiddle with.

Metadyne Info

My understanding is the metadyne will come as stock class but that a feed upgrade package is in the works.

If I can find a buyer for my lowers or rpg body, I will be on that list for a metadyne. I have a phantom, love it. Also have a pgp. I would recommend either a phantom in the configuration you want, or a sniper2 to start off (both used). That way, if you don't like it, you can sell it for what you paid, or at a little loss.

NNNNNOOOOOO!

Stop buying the Metadyne pump on pre-order! Cause if you do, I will not be in time to get one

YES, I want one!

Any of the CCM pumps are super smooth. I would recommend them. Also the Check it! pump is nice.

... and you can convert easily to open class on a Phantom with a $15 piece from ASP.

I just lowered the pump without the frantom to 200 + shipping

[madcrisis]

the metadyne doesnt look like it would suit me

i want something that i can easily convert from stock class to open class. i would also like it to just be accurate smooth and well made which i know both are. its my first pump (kind of) so im looking to get a good taste for that style of play.

i like the phantom because its simple light and just an attractive marker with a relatively stable resale value. i think the biggest thing with phantoms for me is just the simplicity of them

the cockers are a bi diferent but still very appealing. its nice that they can be configured in so many different ways. i like the snipers except for the angled feed tube requiring and elbow (i hate elbows with a passion).

are there any areas where one beats the other or does it basically come down to personal preference"?

[madcrisis]

also whats the best cocker pump in that price range? i dont know the difference in them all between snipers superstocks prostocks.... does one stand out as better or are they all relatively the same?

I'm telling you, what you are describing is what you'll get with a CCM.

[madcrisis]

the problem with them is that they seem to be way out of my price range :/

[CatoRockwell]

Mine too.

Someday...
