Wow, just had to reply to a thread created the same month I joined. Now that I realize it's been five years, I feel old all of a sudden...

I own % Sov's # of the Sov I's and 2 Sov II, I would say the Sov II is much better by far, the bolt design is better and the gun feels light and more comfortable. I own Sov I ooo13, and have own the gun for some time. The basic issue I have with the gun is the 3-way, it is always leaking for one reason or another, I will stay the gun shoot very quite, but I tend to use my Autocoker more, because it seems to be less of of an issue with me.

funny that this should come up now... I was about to post a thread alerting people that arrow precision had started making the sovereign again.Comment

I love my two 1's (all i need is an eclipse now), but arrow really flopped on any sort of promotion in the US with the 2's and 3's.
Is this new stuff merely a continuation of the 3 line or is it actually new features?
Also, when we opened up CC, we added a dedicated sov forum (what can I say, i have a real fondness for them even if noone knows what they are anymore and it fits the broad term if not the narrow). hasn't seen much traffic, but its there.

I played paintball for the first time back in '93, but I didn't really get into the sport until about '02, when I bought my first gun (a Pirahna Pro). I got picked up for a team in Houston, and at our first tounament, I was 'given' a sovereign II (with the stipulation that I would just pay for it later). I thought it was a nice gun. It felt pretty good in my hands, and it was quite consistent. The only problem I had was that I kept short-stroking it. I guess I never played with it enough to learn how to not short-stroke it. Shortly afterward, I bought an Emag, and the sovereign didn't get touched after that. I ended up trading it away for a automag. In retrospect, I wish I had kept the Sovereign. In the past couple of years, I have only seen one or two of them show up on Ebay, and I keep searching for them. If I come across one, and I have the money, I will pick it up, and learn how to shoot it.Comment

I Got My Sovereign Back!!!
I spoke to one of my old teammates...the one I traded my Sovereign for an Classic Mag. I got the Sovereign back, but it was missing a piece. All the pieces were there, except the long plastic piece that goes between the grip frame and the body. Anyone know where I can get one...? I may try to give Mark Ambrose a call...Comment

(i dont know to spell revival but you all should know what i mean) and i have no idea on anything about sov's i just think its funny this thread has more multi year revivals then ive ever seen ... talk about beat ing a dead horse (no offence to those that revived it)
edit check custom cockers sov thread might be a lil bit better as its specific to this strange unheard of marker (tho i think their kinda neat lookin after lookin at pics of them)Comment

Its perfectly acceptable for a user with a 2000 join date to necro anything he wants. :P
There's actually a fair bit of Sov discussion on the OldSchoolPaintball group on facebook. I believe there is new US distribution going on for the latest model. I don't recall if its a Sov3 or still 2.Warp Feed Evangelist
