? for Alaska players

[TAW]

Where is a good place to get paint from with out getting bent on the shipping? Are there any fields around Anchorage?

[gadget68]

Hey another Alaskan.... Well If you are interested in paint at a reasonable price I will PM you. I am in Juneau.

[Doc Nickel]

If you're in Cordova, catch a ferry to Homer and hit Ulmer's. They usually have a fair (for small-town backwater Alaska) price and a decent stock.

But that's about it. The Soldotna hobby shop recently closed, but that's not that much of a loss as he usually charged over $100 a case. The K'Ame-apart in Kenai is closing as well, so we can't even buy Brass Eagle locally.

Up in Anchorage, Sports Authority and K'Mart, Fred Meyers and Wal-Mart all carry Brass Eagle, for the usual decent but not great Alaska prices.

The guys at Urban Paintball on Muldoon usually have a fair stock, but I sure can't say good things about their prices. Well, I can- their prices are lower than Airguns Alaska on Dimond. $125 to $135 for a case of Tiger Stripe, for example.

Dave at Sector 7G used to carry Diablo for a fair price- $50 to $70 a case, depending on which type- but Dave was active military and got called back up last year, forcing him to close the indoor field and store.

I'm told that the Urban and Team Element guys will be running semi-regular games at Goose Lake in Anchorage come spring, and I'm told the Big Lake field has survived another year, but I have no contact information for them. I can dig it up if you need it.

Doc.

Hey thanks for the info. The only thing stoping us from having alot of players is the cost of shipping paint. We have the field,co2 and I'm working on hpa. Right now I'm the only one running hpa on a Minimag with a RT valve thats how far behind the times we are. So any one else has been through this hassel of finding a good paint supply please let me know.

[gadget68]

We were in your shoes about two years ago. Myself and a good friend were also the only ones who were using HPA. We had a hard time finding a place to fill our scuba tanks because we did not have a PADI card. Finally I met up with our local scuba store and explained to them our Paintball situation. They now supply air to us and we even got her husband in the sport. Do you use scuba tanks? Do you have a scuba fill?


The only problem we Juneauites have now is a true field. Since land is lacking in Juneau, we are using state land with verbal approval from the state forest service. We clean up all trash around the field every time we use it and all of our bunkers are made from natural materials (ie: Fallen trees and rocks).

I PM'd you a message about paint. Check your PM's. I think I can help you out. Again, I know exactly what you are going through. I am glad to see Paintball growing all around Alaska.

Doc is also an Alaskan. I believe he is from Kenai. His Paintball reputation is well know Nation wide in the paintball community. Been to his web site many times. If you ever get to Anchorage check out Alaskan Airguns, located on Diamond Blvd. They have a nice supply of Paintball items.

In conclusion I would like to welcome you to AO. This Forum is the best I have seen so far. And were else can you go and talk with the inventor and President of Airguns Designs. Tom is a great guy and a great business man!!!!

p.s. Gadget.....where's that X-Mag? Can't believe I let you tease me this long about it!!

[primetime]

Hey TAW

Contact me when you get a chance, Im in Kenai and get my paint through Jim at the goose lake field. I could get you paint really cheap.

I have paid for, but not picked up the old goose lake field from Jim. I work on the slope and come home on the 25th and thats when I will pick it up. We will be playing on the 29th and 30th of March.

Also I was told by a player out of Homer that Ulmers will be discontinueing there paintball stuff.

Also as for Doc he does live in Kenai and he does the best work on markers worldwide. He does all the work on my markers.

email me at [email protected] and I will get you my phone number and we can talk paint prices.

[primetime]

also

here is my marker. One of the two I have had.

X-mag

Hey Prime...

How long have you had the x mag? What do you think of it? Also, how do you like the angel air? I've heard people complain of the bulkyness of the reg. What do you think?

I try to stick with a typical screw in tank because my Impulse is already so tall, but have been thinking about upgrading cuz of 'quality issues'.

here's my Mini Mag:
Level 10 hates the cold, tho!

[primetime]

Just picked it up last time home. Paid 1400 for the total package minus the loader and the drop doc made for the angel air.

The air is great, I had a 88/4500 but it was way to big and bulky(sold it doc) the 68/4500 is perfect. The marker is so balanced now.

I just cant say enough good about the marker.


Will you guys make it to any tourneys this year??

[gadget68]

Ok NeroWolfe.....It should be here at any time my friend....Xmag that is. Can't wait to use it against you in the next game. Just have to hit you first!!


PrimeTime.... I know myself and NeroWolfe would like to make some tourney's this year. Just not sure of our schedule and funds. (This living in a capital of a state that you have no access to by a road realy sucks!!)NeroWolfe, what do you think? We (my wife and I) are expecting our second child this summer so everything is up in the air. Also, how would you compare a Flatline set up to the Angel Air?

Glad to see more Alaskans on here...even better more Paintballer Alaskans that use Airgun Designs products.

One of my Back up Markers....

[primetime]

Hey nice marker.

As for the Angel Air to the Flatline, I wouldn't be the person to ask on comparasions. I think as long as you can get at least 650psi output to feed the mag that has a level 10 in it, and the the system can recharge quick enough then your doing good. Also just depends what you can get your hands on.

Also I have a led for sale too. you can email me and I will give more info on it.

One more question. Trade you the chrome NW QD/block on your mag for my black one? Been looking for a chrome one.

What color is the X-mag that you are getting?

[gadget68]

Primetime...Call me and we will make a deal. Check you PM.

[NeroWolfe]

Tourny...

I hate to say it Gadget....but I'll call you from every tourny I hit this year to see if that kid popped out yet!


Kidding,,,,,...!

I doubt that I'll make more than my weekend trip to Seattle next month, and The Shatner II event. I can't make any tournaments, so would my goal is make a scenario game. Wife says you and I must go to Shatner II, Gadget! (mine, anyway I'll send her to work on Bridget!!!)
So try like hell to figure somethin out!!!!!

Hey, since we're showing off our back-ups! Check this baby out!!!!!!! I'm so darn proud of this Puppy!!! Eat your hearts out mag lovers!!!

[gadget68]

A REBEL!!! I haven't seen that baby in a while. I gues that is your Backup-Backup-Backup marker.

ROFL

ShatnerII would be an Awsome Goal!!!!!!!!
