around what price range did you pay for all these modifications? be general if you don't want to give out anything.

Hey I was at the shop when craig and glenn wer building it. They were doing a mini conversion and ano to my cocker a while back. And they showed me what they were working on (your gun), and they said the guy was from the east coast, so i take it, it was yours. Believe me they put alot of work into that gun, it shot nice too.

Yeah, I remember the first pics of that showing up on the net, I think Craig posted them on the POG message board. It's cool, and definatly different. But I like Blazers, and 'cockers alot because what each brings to the table. Thats why when I decided to get my wife a marker, she got a Blazer with pretty much every option, and I'll start building my cocker sometime next year, Feb-March, after I get my E-mag in my hands.

thanks

thanks for letting me shoot it at the tech tour, I'll post more when I've got time. I've bombed two finals and I've got two more to go.

Chaotic: Well..lets just say, the price cap I gave was $1000, they went a tad over that. If you look at it, I figured out the cost of all the parts, and I fiure they charged me about $175 for labor. That isn't bad.

jthom3: I had it done last March I beleive it was. And seeing as I think this is the only one just like this, it was probably it.

Headcase: yeah, Craig posted it on the message board before it was totally finished. I love Blazers, but if I was going to spend $800+ on a new gun (which is about that I would spend on the Blazer I want) I figure I might as well do somthing vert different. To be honeslt, I like the way it shoots a lot more than a Blazer, but it is also a bit bigger and quite a bit heavier. Some day, I plan on owning a Blazer, it might be a soon as Summer.

is that a trigger stop behind the trigger?

I assume you are talking about the rod that can be see behind the top half of the trigger? If so, than no that should be connected to the 4-way (3 way in normal 'cocker speak), it's basicly the timing rod if you have an knowledge of 'cockers.

Headcase is correct, that is the "Timing" rod. It is attached to the back of the trigger shoe and then to a plastic arm that actuates the 4way.

[Cha0tic]

yep, know what your talkin about....just not familiar with that type of setup. you should mill that body to reduce the size and weight....as if you haven't dished out enough money for it already.

[headcase]

Well I can't know for sure, but I assume the trigger + frame is basicly a typhoon set up which looks like this in side the frame.



Thanx to Ravi for the pic, it comes from his Typhoon trigger job page.

would you ever sell her? and If you would how much would you?

You can tell by the trigger that Craig put a lot of care into it. It has a smooth and very natural release. I never notice weight when I'm playing (I carry a hunk of brass), but I did notice that the balance was shifted considerably closer to the handle, though I don't remember what it was like with the tank on.
naturally I liked the barrel choice :) And the trigger i honestly liked better than the pivot styles that have been coming out for cockers as of late.

have you seen those aluminum typhoon frames doc is making? One piece 2x frame. Pretty spiffy if you're looking to get rid of the stainless guard.

But Honestly i wouldn't change a thing.

The older beavertail looks like a Belsales style.

Nifty conversion. I can't say I like palmers, because I don't, but that was definitely a nicely done conversion, the pneumatics placement looks similar to what PaintballMaxx does, except for the 3-way.

[Muzikman]

Rav3n: I don't think I'll ever sell it. But if I did, i would like to get what I paid for it. That would probably be unrealistic price, so I think I'll probably own it until it is a piece of junk then throw it away:)

Mykroft: Ya don't like Palmers? My favorite guns where all built from Palmer.

Bug: you say that Doc is making a dbl trigger Sheridan frame? Hmm..I might have to look into that...
