Phantoms SUCK?

[bornl33t]

well see hers's the deal, I haven't owned a marker all summer. Other financial obligations. But I wanted to check in and see what's all going on at the shop. I wasn't wanting to buy anything. But I brought up the fact I was shoping for a used phantom and he really layed into it. ALl my research I've done pointed to the fact taht the phantom is actually a very descent marker. That's why I was really surprised to see someone dis it that bad. He wasn't trying to sell me anything. But he did ask me if I'd buy it from him if he's order one. well yes/no. If he can get one at a conpeditive price I might consider it, but I am really strapped for $$ and would perfer to get one used, which isn't happening at all right now. Guess no one wants to sell theirs So that's why I'm here I wanted some opinions from ppl who have actually used/owned one.

phantoms are my favorite pumps

Well, here is my moneky wrench in the works for this one.

I've been playing for a little over a year now, and after having seen it just about all, the marker that really caught my eye was an old WGP sniper. The things was old enough to not have detents, but I'm not sure as to where that would place it in the time line of WGP products. I've shot quite a few markers at the field, and all in all that old Sniper was probably my favorite.

I'll agree that unless you are good, a pump might place you at a disadvantage in a semi game. But, then again, those pumpers are the first guys I try to take out.

When I see a pump on a field, to me it mean one of two things:

A. The guy is going to get shot to hell and back.

B. The guy is going to shoot everyone else to hell and back.

People making fun of pumps is like someone who owns a brand new car making fun of a Model T owner because his car isn't as fast. But, they forget that the Model T is a piece of automotive history and the owner probably has a little better understanding of cars and where the automotive field came from. The same might be said for Pump/Stock owners/users.

Laters,

Charlie Holton (Happy Holton) has one for sale. Still in mint box with the shrink wrap on it even still! Not even opened. I think he's asking 250 for it.

i saw on of those six pack things on ebay,it was under accesories or misc.i typed in automag and there it was

IIRC, if I'm thinking of the right guy, Happy sold that at Shatnerball... so its off the market...

mm... phantom with 6pak... (where's the drooling smiley?)

I will concur though, the phantom pump stroke from the factory is less than nice, but put 500 rounds through it, and you're butter smooth!

Sounds like this guy is just angry because he has a Tracer rather than a Phantom Was his nest statement that his 21" sniper barrel is the most accurate thing out there? LOL

I use my Phantom VSC while playing on airball, hyperball, etc... It's fun and performs great no matter what. I have finished many games when I was the last player in and carrying my Phantom You know you really got owned when an old guy with a stock class marker bunkers you!

When I first started playing a buddy of mine was about a 12 year veteran, his comment to me about pumps was: "I am more afraid of the guy who walks on with a pump than any semi or electro".

Removing the spring on the pump arm smooths out the stroke a bit. Replacing the internal springs using a madman/nelson kit helps too. My pump stroke requires about half the force of a stock, broken in phantom and it's smoother. $6 well spent imo.

Sent you a PM about a 6 Pak xrancid_milkx

used phantom

well i got my first phantom used and frankly, i was a little disappointed, my friend bought one about the same time as me and the triggers felt very different, so the previous owner's must have done different trigger work. that just made me a little skeptical and i wanted to feel a new, factory one so i could break it in and make the trigger feel the way i wanted it to.
right now i am saving for a new one (and your shop owner can get very good dealer prices that he might pass on a little to you), i know many places online to buy a new vsc .45 phantom for 250 while on the cci website its 288

Later on, I am going to get BradAGD to mod a trigger frame to semi
