    Planet Eclipse

    Is it just me or does planet eclipse kind of suck for any support on their older guns? I mean my gun works extremely well. Very well made gun. But it seems when something is needed, they try to just push you into buying their newest gun. I understand that is business. Maybe I just got spoiled dealing with and for many years and I'm used to being able to buy parts easily by any gun ever made by and.

    How olds the marker in question? Can't say I've had any issues other than bad balldetents. I know they were replacing cs1 bodies in the blink of an eye if they bent. But not sure at all with old.... old stuff.

      I shoot an ego 7. Previous owner stripped two adjustment screws on the trigger and boogered up the finish. Can't find a stock trigger anywhere in the color I need. I don't need a new gun. The ego 7 is a beastly gun and is far from needing replacement.

        you tried paintball gateway they had quite a bit of old eclipse stuff, but yeah they don't really support the older markers, you cant get hardly anything from the ego10 downwards

          As tiny as the trigger set screws are you should be able to them to the next larger size. Even easier if your willing to thread them Metric.

            Yes. I have found equivalent and cut one to fit and have a tiny extractor set, but the previous owner really did a number on the trigger finish. I'm not super particular on overall condition, but it's annoying. I also like the stock trigger.

              You need a Geo 3.5.

                Shot one a few times. Great gun, but I'm not a spool guy. Nothing against them. Always preferred poppet.

                  They are getting closer to the $500 dollar mark used now, thats why I suggested that.

                  Personally I'd like a CS1 but they havent dropped to my price used yet.

                  So I just carry on with Automags, Axes and Angels.

                    Have a non working classic mag. My two working guns are a virtue board LCD angel, single trigger and my ego 7 bone stock.

                      The cs1 and the lvl 1.1s are sick, but I still prefer the 7or8 over anything. Built well, reliable, and super fast and efficient.

                        6 years is all PE carries in way of old parts.

                        They do sell off their old stock to another site, so people can still get it, but the website is escaping me, ATM.

                        Its not a bad model, as they care about the people who buy directly and the people who use their older stuff aren't buying new. I have an ego6, so i feel your pain.

                          That's good to know. Thank you. Ego 6 are great too. There was a beautiful sl66 on eBay a few weeks ago.

                            I've got 2 geo3s. I wish I could have found a 3.5 for 500 or less. 700 was the cheapest I was seeing them anywhere so I stuck with the 3 model. Personally love the design of them. I never dreamed anyone would get a simpler design than a mag.

                              That's why I never buy new anymore. Resale is terrible. I don't sell much, so I usually get a gun I like and stick with it for a while
