Chipley Custom Machine Series 5

[Jack & Coke]

From: http://www.chipleymachine.com/semi5.htm

This is a great entry into an autococking marker. Warrantied for life, just like everything that we make. Utilizes many of the same components as the J2. The main difference between the Series 5 and the J2 is mainly a matter of aesthetics, and weight.

So, if a 'sleeper' is your style, then check out the Series 5. Proudly made in the USA, and the quality shows. Comes in dust black, with polished pneumatics.

Each of the components is hand tested and inspected to ensure the highest performance and fit. Now shipping with the CCM 12" Barrel. (not the progressive as pictured)

Great price!....................................$475.00

EDIT: thanks and big props to RRfireblade for hosting the pics of my new gun...

nice, tell us how it feels.

I can't speak for their autococking semi markers, but the J2 and Series 5 pumps are highly regarded as some of the best Sheridan style pumps in the world.

I re-timed a SV for a customer... I liked it alot. So much that I have a CCM trigger frame and pneus coming for one of my "work guns"

And the j2 pumper Ive shot (Dan from Bunkerboyz') really shot nicely. almost as nice to shoot as my custom snipers.

The trigger feels crisp.

The feed neck is Angel threaded like the Mag ULE body.

I spoke with Jason Chipley (owner) yesterday, and he told me the ram is larger than normal, which allows for a lower cocking/loading pressure.

I'm not sure how 'soft' this will be on the balls (chops due to misfeeding). I'll be sure to report back here as soon as I learn more about it. (I'm still a little green when it comes to all the nuances of cockers)

Muhahahaha! Now I can shoot farther and flatter than ever before!!!

LOL! J/k! I had to throw that in there

[Dubstar112]

Well, Im glad you like it. I hope my answers helped you. I have never chopped a ball though. Its a very nice marker for the money.

I need to time mine though. The trigger was nice outta the box, and I hadda mess with it.

Well you better turn that velocity down then mister.

Good luck with it though,Cockers are kinda fun in a holy cow I can't believe all these moving parts going in different directions actually come together to fire a paintball in any kind of a consistant manner.......kinda way.

At least that's what I think everytime I pull the trigger.

[Dubstar112]

lol, thats true. Every time i pull the triggeer i think "wow only one ball came out for all that".

I short stroke all the time, or forget to turn the hopper on. Making the transition from electro to manual is difficult sometimes, especially when a 10 year old just lit you up with his daddy's ir3.

Reminds me of last Oct, when I was ref at a private game.

Well, these two guys were marveling at how incredibly "flat" one of the guy's Sniper II was shooting.

Before the start of one of the games, he had a crowd of kids watching at how his "closed-bolt" marker was shooting "flat" and how his autococker would shoot the same.

I walked up and chronoed him with my Radarchron... because something didn't look right, hot day + Co2 hmmm...



LOL! ...335! ...328! ...332!

Needless to say, after he brought his gun back down to 280 fps, it shot just as "flat" as evey Tippy, Sypder, Angel, etc. that everyone else had.

[RRfireblade]

That's pretty typical.

The Handheld chrono is one of the greatest inventions in paintball.(even tho it came from another sport)

I take it everywhere and am amazed at how often kids are shooting hot,sometimes REAL hot.I chroned this kids spyder once @ 380fps.You couldn't get it under 350.I asked him what did he do to cause it,he says nothing it's stock......oh,I put a spring kit in there.I said why?He's sys some kid told him too but he doesn't know what it does.I said IT MAKES YOU SHOOT HOT!! Dummy.

[Miltonyz]

It seems to me that the hand chronys seem to show a higher fps then a big red chrono. Has anyone else noticed that?

[RRfireblade]

Not mine.I have a Pact Timer/Chrono as well and it's within 1-2fps usually.Every now and then you might get a screwball reading but thats pretty typical w/ these kinds of devices.

[Brophog]

They're not as accurate as a field chrony.

However, their main use is for refs or others who are "spot" checking a player, presumably one that should have chronoed earlier using a field chrony!

For refs they're great for checking players on the field during games, or when you suspect someone may have tampered with a marker. In those applications, you don't need to be spot on, +/- 5 will do you good enough, and the RadarChrono is certainly capable of that.

They're not meant for standalone chronoing, in my opinion, but are invaluable for big games or any other atmosphere where you have a lot of people.

That reminds me of when me and my friend chronoed for the first time a couple of years ago. We had only been playing with some friends in the woods earlier. My friend had a spyder, that at his original setting shot about 360-380. The only way to get it under 300 was to screw out the setscrew so far, it almost fell out. Meanwhile, my cheap spyderclone would not shoot over 250. No wonder I had felt outshoot by him =).

Anyway, today we have a handheld radarchrono to make sure that everyne is under 300.

[Ov3rmind]

It's pretty typical of Spyders to chrono well into the 300's stock. Most Spyders I've seen have had their mainsprings clipped.
