Looks like Glen Palmer might throw his hat in ...

HiTech,

Yea, that was actually pretty funny though, from my point of view. Served her proper for jumping to conclusions. :rofl:

[hitech]

Yea, that was even funny though.

I'm glad you maintained your sense of humor.

[vonort]

totally unnecissary(sp) to reconsider your stance on autocockers. dont consider this as being another smart parts issue. glenn is just standing up for what is technically his. he isnt snide and kaniving(sp)its not like every autococker now is infected with K2 evilness

go get em Glenn

Dyeguy didn't mean it that way. At the time that I bought my cocker it was between the cocker and the Blazer. If I had the info that I have now, I would have bought the blazer. I prefer to support the smaller guy. Only reason I went with a cocker is nobody around me knows much about Blazers. I have a local cocker guru so I know I can get the gun fixed and tuned up easily.

I'm glad I do have one of Glenn's peices of work in my Hurricaine. Next will be either a nasty phoon, PUG with spring load, or a Blazer.

Been playing since April of 1986.

Thank you Mr Palmer. Helped me make my next gun buy. I bought parts from you back in the early 90's for my PGP. Made it flawless after some barrel work.

I'd buy a Blazer in a heartbeat if they had commonly used barrel threads. I'd say cocker, but that just feels wrong!

[ilikePB]

If they came out with a nice electro frame for the Blazer it might just replace my Viking. However, I doubt Palmers would come out with an electronic frame, just doesn't seem their style, but I can always hope.

Yeah, AO is home to a large contingent of "grumpers", including myself (circa 1989). I remember meeting Glenn along with Green Machine in Russia back in '94.

But back on topic, Give 'em hell Paladin! (But make sure your attorney's retainer is paid).

I'll have you know that I invented that term! (Grumpers!)

darned grumpers.....

Whats wrong with the slip fit? It works well, and just about any barrel can be cut down to fit.

[edweird]

Glenn its good to see ya posting on AO, ya got lots of supporters here. After all its refreshing to see someone stick it to one of the groups that are screwing up the paintball industry.

and see ya at shatnerball

I don't want to wait 8 years for a custom shop to cut my barrels down. I also didn't like slip fit on my old Promaster, threads is the way to go. Plus there would already be a multitude of choices out.

[Paladin]

8 years ? You need to find a new shop to work with.

The barrel attachment on a Blazer is far different than was you had on the old Bush/Pro Master.
I too prefered a bit more solid and precice attachment of the barrel. That's why the Blazer is set up the way it is.
Besides that, you'll find that the barrel that comes with the Blazer is usually at least as good any any aftermarket unit that you might choose from the masses that are available.

YES!!!
This is a letter long overdue!! Now let's look at what WE, as paintball players and customers can do to back Glenn up!!

Nothing. We can't help unless we have money and lawyers.

[TeamNausea]

Go glenn
Player of 1 year 3 months even us newbs in your mind agree here

Glenn,

I mean what I am about to say with all due respect. I love your work and you are a fantastic man. While I don't support what K2/Worr/BE is doing, I do understand it.

Here is my problem with your statement: Where is the relevance?

(Perhaps I don't have a good enough understanding of the acse at hand) K2 has asked Action Markers to stop making their pump, not because it is in violation of a patent (because there is no patent on the auto-cocking marker) held by WORR or anyone else but because it violates trademarks and looks too much like the Sniper marker.

That seems like a valid reason to ask someone to stop making a marker. If AGD started making a mag that looked IDENTICAL to your Blazer, I would hope and expect you to ask AGD to stop making the marker, because it is too much like yours. While the internals may be 100% different, the outside is the same. I would hope you would ask AGD to stop. If they didn't, I would expect you to file a lawsuit against them. Not that you want to hurt AGD, but your comapny has rights too.

please let me know where I've gone wrong. Did you invent the autococking system that made Budd Orr rich? yes. Can you sue anyone for making a marker that uses it? No.

Thanks Glenn. I'd love to hear back from you...
