    need a carbon dating, on this autococker

    Howdy all

    Welp one of my long time friends has given up the sport and retiered his ancient Autococker to me, its not a bad marker but needs some work , and honestly im not even sure of the year on this thing. ill try and get a pic of it posted later.
    here is the serial # on it 21297, got a guess on the year ?

    as it sits right now it leaks air from the LPR hole when gassed up
    im going to try and get this old beast up and running, if anyone has some old stock or non stock cocker parts to help me with this adventure , leave a message or shoot me a PM , im looking for extremely cheap parts till i get it running and then ill go from there.

    ty very much for any help you may give with my new project



    sure am glad i got my RTC its SOoooooooo much easier to work on , even with the lvl X

    thanks again

    show a pic of the other side of the marker,

    does it have a detent?

    does it have a sear lug adjustment hole on the top of the marker behind the feed neck?

    bu the frame and lpr I would have to say it is quite old

      I think it is a 95

      By the looks of it, I would say maybe a 95??

          1995, with one or two upgrades.

          I have # 25927, which was purchased in late 1995.

          The front end parts appear to be original.

          The "cut" backblock is an upgrade. The original was truly a block, with the same thickness from top to bottom.

          The gripframe is original. Kinda funny, because the early Automags used the same gripframe casting.

          The first things I would do with this is:
          • 1) Rock/Micro Rock regulator.
            2) Threaded timing rod.
            3) Inline regulator.
          God gave you a soul.
          Your parents, a body.
          Your country, a rifle.

          Keep all of them clean.

                I wouldn't touch it if I were you. Get it shooting and leave it all original. That thing's ancient. Like Destructo said, it's probably a 95, maybe even a 93-94. It's a classic. I wouldn't touch the body if I were you.

                    It's almost surly a 95 as I have a 96 with a 30K serial number.

                        Here's my autococker I bought back in 93/94 from a Smart Parts catalog. The serial number on mine is #15600.

                          Is that a brass Rock reg I see? If so, I understand they are fairly rare.

                          And a female Stabilizer in a ring mount?

                          That's the original style backblock I was talking about.

                          I think it would look better if you stripped the blue paint off of the body.

                          There are a lot of resources for Autocockers on the net. If you do a google search for "autococker timing" you should get enough to disassemble/reassemble, clean, maintain, and time the thing. Here's a good start:

                          God gave you a soul.
                          Your parents, a body.
                          Your country, a rifle.

                          Keep all of them clean.
