Stock classers... 12g's.. where and how much?

[joeyjoe367]

Just curious how many people here play stock-class. I think I'd like to mess around with a phantom or some other stock class gun sometime in the future.

How much do 12 gram's end up costing you? Where can you buy them in bulk?

You can buy them at Walmart in the BB gun area. They are about $12.00 for 25 12 grams. If you are shooting a phantom I would say 20-30 shots before you get drop off.
How much it cost depends on how much you shoot. I can tell you the 12 gms never cost more than the case of paint I shoot with a Semiauto.

Check with some local p-ball shops. I bought some in a store in Nashville a few years ago. It was a milk crate full of loose 12g's for $20.
Some shops are bound to have some collecting dust in a back room.

Order straight from Daisy (www.daisy.com). This is the cheapest way, but you do have to buy quite a few.

they're not cheap... kind of a bummer...

you CAN buy them in bulk some places, but we're talking hundreds... best bet is to get with a bunch of buddies and split up an order of them.

I've switched to a 3.5 oz tank for rec play, its much cheaper, and I get over 400 shots to a good fill. its hard to find the nice aluminum bottles, but the 4 oz steel tanks are fairly common.

besides, in normal rec ball most people don't notice the air supply, they just keep wondering where the heck your hopper is...

The best deal that I have ever found for 12 grams, as well as most other SC gear, can be found here:

I play stock quite a bit. Your best bet is to ask the local paintball shops since not too many people play stock. I got lucky. Two years ago a friend of mine found a machine shop that had cases lying around. I bought two cases of 100 for $70. And they were pretty heavy, can you imagine how much that would cost to to ship? BTW I still have maybe 20-30 left. Really good deal I think.
