    The illustrator is pretty close to the exact same design as todays brass eagle raptor, only it was made well.

    The bushmaster was made by LineSI which (forgive me if I mess this up) consisted of some of the present owners of ICD. They're pretty sweet little pumps.

    Neither one hold a lot of resale value, but do have some value from the collector standpoint. I'm always looking for older markers to go on my "wall of shame" so if you decide you'd like to sell either of them or possibly trade them for something a little more modern please get ahold of me.

      The Bushmaster pump by LineSI was the defacto pump marker of it's time, much like the mag in the tourny scene in the early 90's, almost everyone had one for it's silky smooth action.

        "It came that way"
        "I borrowed it "

        My gun says I'm holding it back from doing great things ...

            Like others said - The Bushmaster was made by Line Si. It was "THE" gun to have from the mid 80s to the early 90s. Navarone used them exclusively and won just about anything they entered.

            The are VERY well made - very rugged. Jerry Dobbins and Larry Alexander (er i think thats his name) ran Line Si. Jerry later created ICD and contined on with the Bushmaster name with the Bushmaster 2000.

            The F1 was made by fastech and is an early blow back - which is what the spyder and everyone refined and copied.

            There is a market for both - butneither are worth a whole lot. Depending on condition, who you sell to, They will fetch $50-$150 each probably.

            If you got pics - send them to me - I collect old guns.

              I have (until very recently) owned a Line SI Bushmaster Deluxe and it is a fantastic pump marker. It now resides in KC with Webby; a much better caretaker than I was.
