      www.phantomonline.com (which you linked to already) is the CCI website, CCI is the one man shop that has made Phantoms since the 80s. :)

      I would argue that you get every bit of Carter performance out of a Phantom, for half the price. :) the Phantom is highly refined, and the new ones are even better.

      I love my Sterling too, I just set up a female stab on it, and its going in next week for a tune-up... :)

            From what I hear they are good pumps and they can customize between stock and non-stock. Also I think that the barrels are cocker threaded so you can buy one barrel for your SFL and your pump (you are still planning on using that SFL aren't you!!!! )

            I also saw the ad but I didn't think it was a big deal. They are a new company trying to break into the market...they are going to make some mistakes on the way. I think someone (Fred?) mentioned that Manike and a few others bought them at Shatnerball. You could see what others think.

              Yes, there are quotations around the things that could be contronversial. At the bottom of the page they say things like "extremely accurate" and such, that is clearly not saying how accurate it is, just saying it is "extremely" accurate.

                well its "OK" as long as they had quotations, casue then it becomes some ones opinion really...

                  Ah, yes bill, the phantom bug bit me about 1 month ago. I bought a phantom, and it is amazing. I will post pictures as soon as I can get my hands on a digital camera.

                    Making enemies....

                    I know Imight offend some, but I have shot all kinds of pumps, and totally fell in love with a Sterlign a few years ago. Last year I saw a great deal on ebay and got me a beautiful purple anodized sterling. I shoots like a dream. Don't get me wrong, the Phantoms are great, better than most, except the sterling. It is just perfect. Whatever you aim at, you hit. The range and accuracy are matched by no other. I too have a Phantom bug, mainly because I like the marker and I want another pump, but the Sterling is a must own. Trust me!

                      I'm not offended, I have both that beauty of a Phantom and an old Proline Sterling STP (which is my project marker at the moment... :) )

                      I don't agree with your accuracy and range asessments... people say the same things about every marker in the "my gun is better than yours" arguments.

                      I will say though, that the Sterling's pump stroke is WAY nicer than the Phantoms, and with a good stock or tank to use for one... you can get them crankin 5 or more BPS in crazy-mofo-autotrigger mode... hehehe

                        I have had the "pump" bug for a while (not neccesarily the Phantom). My first gun ever was the BE Talon (lol) and I have always loved the pumps. It would be nice to have a gun that didn't go through nearly a case a night like my mag does.

                        There is just something cool about a pump.

                          Sale or trade

                          I have a brand new red Phantom ($300.00) that i thought I was going to use. Instead it has only been shot in my back yard. It is a phantom Stock class, with vertical air. and horizontal feed tube. Comes with the pantom shoulder stock ($50.00) . This marker is red and in perfect shape and excellent condition. not a scratch what so ever. If you are truly interested i will email you Pics. Along with the marker i have a Red dot site ($100.00), wrist holder for co2 cartridegs ($15.00) , and a side leg 10 round tube holder ($30.00). Now I emphasize all of this equipment is in excellent shape and is considered new. I am looking to trade for an autococke (black magic or oracle style) or sale for about 400.00. let me know.
