AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
Man, I was like buying Tonka trucks in those days, I was 3 years old. Haha, the first time I saw paintball I freaked out because I was golfing at Ginos Paintball and Miniature Golf. I was so scared I got some ice cream.
Originally posted by wolverine85929 450 for a standard feed, pre stars, in 92. slightly up graded and it is still my main marker. Just wondering how many alum. markers that old are still running?
A hell of a lot more than you would think, ask the same question of SEMI-AUTO's still running then that answer would be a lot lower, My pump markers still work..well the Phantom needs a bit of love as I had to have the feed neck re-attached and it wasn't done in the neatest way but my Sterling still works great and I will have at least two more soon that will be for sale. I have a pre-star minimag (if minimag valves ever had stars???) with a few upgrades that shoots fine...just that I don't use it.
I do not know how much they cost back then but I can tell you I just sold my 1991 minimag to a paintball store for $600 because it was in mint condition and such. I guess they wanted an old mag for some reason.

I'll have to pull the receipt out to get the exact cost. But in Fall/Winter of 1992 when I bought my Mag from Smart Parts I paid over $850. This included.
PF Automag
16" SP AA Barrel
8" Crown Point Barrel
Smart Remote (This included the Expansion Chamber)
20oz Tank
VL 100 Loader (This came stock on all Mag at the time)
Smart Parts inline filter
I then went back to Smart Parts a year later spent over $300 more to buy;
- 8+1 (100 rd tube loader) Renegade harness (the cool one that attahced to their jumpsuit via velcro (too bad I didn't have the jumpsuit)):)
- 20oz tank
- Vents Predator mask (Damn I miss this mask)
- VL 200 loader
I paid 400 for a used minimag in 95 with 2 barrels and a bottomline. I still use the old DAC tulip barrel as my main barrel and the mini was my main gun until I got my Xmag
