what is the rarest gun?

[Doc Nickel]

As far as the SATCO, it's easily in the top five rarest. Have Blue managed to dig up somebody connected with the marker, and found out a few details:

The "RA Williams" mentioned in my article has unfortunately passed away, and the individual HB contacted mentioned that... I'd have to hit up HB again, but it was something like three were actually made and assembled, one was sent out as a test/review gun (PCRI did an overview way back when) and two of the SATCO people took the other two. The test gun was returned and broken down to parts, I believe.

There's apparently a stash of parts, enough to make 20+ more (not counting cases, tanks and other bits) but the owners aren't interested in selling, and don't want to let 'em go for liability reasons.

So as far as a production gun goes (and not a special-edition, like the gold-trimmed pumps given away at Shatnerball, etc) we know for very close to certain that there's only two S-700s out there.

I have a question about the steel barrel 007,
does the marker you are talking about have a rolled barrel with a HEAVY seam ? if so I have two of them that I got from a local field for free, when I was looking for a 007 to restore. I also have a pair of early bolt action pgs (not slant feed but still quite old)

ok, one I saw here on the classfieds today called the cyber9000, HAS to be the rarest. There were only a few prototyped madde, but it never got off the burner because of a lawsuit with SP in 96. Owned.

Toxic Toys Tribals are possibly worth mentioning.

While a few thousand of the guns were made, some of the milling designs are quite rare (exact numbers are not known, but estimated less than 100, 50 or less of each of the rarer body styles were produced, and problems and poor quality have reduced these numbers even more). Have Blue knows much more than I, but the Addicted, 2.2 Flusters, chrome BBTs, and some versions of the Mephistos are all very hard to find.

Each one of them is unique as well; the serial numbers sometimes seem to jump around, there were mutliple boardsets used, different styles of trigger frames, as well as various anno jobs and other small parts that seem to have been randomly selected for each gun.

Ok, all I want to know is who is he, how much does he want and where did he buy it.

In my book the Cyber 9000 is very rare. Thought it never made it into full productions I know of 5 that were out there and worked. The rumor has it that there was enough parts for another 25 to be built...but no one knows where the parts ended up.

I have been looking for one of these ever since I passed up the chance to buy one. I am willing at this point to pay just about anything for one as long as it's in original condition and still working.

Hmmm, did any of these make it past the prototype stage?

[thei3ug]

huh. i own a phoenix. cool.

actually, i own a lot of cool guns. wish i had the heart to sell 'em.

The "Destroyer" was very likely a scam. The gun was a mockup, probably nonfunctional and possibly never intended to function.

The people who made it (person?) supposedly took in a bunch of preorders, and got some investors on the line as well. Remember, this was supposed to be a true semiauto, and drum-fed, in the days when a 40-round "ammo box" and pumps were the norm.

Anyway, the story goes this fellow or fellows took in a bunch of money from investors looking to get on the bandwagon and buyers looking to get some of the first ones produced. After a certain period, the fellow simply disappeared with the money.

thei3ug- what else do you have? I've been trying to get my hands on a Phoenix, and some of the other obscure guns so I can do writeups like I did with the SATCO. Not really looking to buy (unless you're interested in selling) just looking to borrow for a while so I can get pictures and such.

Sovereigns

Anybody know if any proline sovereigns (im not talking about the sovereigns made by lada-sterling) were ever made?
I have been looking for one of those for a while, never really seen anything though?
Also, this is kinda off topic, but Doc, do you have any sovereign parts that you might what to sell?

That's the truth. There are so many guns that, while not exactly rare, are more or less completely unknown these days.

I have a couple of Darkside, Inc. Uzi Mk. 2 pumps. They're not really rare; there were thousands of them made. Heck, I have a couple of old APG's with a bunch of pics of players using them.

Take them to a field today, though, and all you get is "Whoa! Where'd you get the raygun?" and "Wait, where's the hopper go?" :)

On a related note, anyone know about how many B.E.C. BE-90's are out there? I know of a total of eight; I'm sure there are a bunch more, but I'm not having any luck finding them. I'll attach a picture just in case someone recognizes one in their garage...

kemikos- if you look towards the top of this picture you can see one that looks alot like that BE-90. i just wish the owner would take more pics of his gun collection.

Cryer, a Carl Bonta E-Mag is one of I think 4 or 5 out there. I have one, it's number 33. Carl used to work for Tom, and (I'm guessing here) recieved several as a gift. He then modified the hell out of them (anno, internal work, moving the battery off the gun etc.) and sold them. I guess Tom didn't like it that he sold the gifts. I doubt he works there anymore, (who knows?) But there are very few. The one I have is E-Mag #33, it has a Blue/grey/silver fade of sorts, and is splashed with blue/grey/white. It's awesome looking.

I remember something called a ninja. It was a full-auto mechanocal only gun, they looked like a browning BAR.
