Is it me or is everybody buying stock markers these days?

[Adamk58]

Seems like everybody is playing stock class games these days. Im thinking about it myself. Ive been playing for nine years and Ive never had a stock class gun. Am I missing out on something or what?

[shartley]

Not everyone is, but stock class play (modified stock and limited paint as well) is seeing a resurgence.

Stock class is a nice change of pace from the fast and serious semiauto+ tourny scene. Stock class utilizes yo brain and actual ability over how fast you can shoot an already ridiculously fast gun.

Its the new hot trend, hah... oldschool paintball revisited

I just picked myself up a 15yr old Sheridan KP2 - pump and stock class, and feels like ur holding a shotgun, booya Go make a custom pump stock project, will def be worth it.

Phantom?

I hear a phantom is the way to go. Ive seen some of the old kp's and all that stuff. They go for lots of cash on ebay. Ive seen i can get a phantom for around 200-250. Should i pick one up? Im no stranger to limited paint. Thats pretty much all I play. I like woodsball and when i play i just carry a full hopper and no pods or anything like that. I used to have a harness but it was too much of a hassle so i quit wearin it.

im thinking about picking up a pump. from what ive heard its actually alot of fun, and really cheap to play.

[personman]

I used to have a pretty nice phantom, but I decided it wasnt for me and sold it. Now I just bought a PGP and it's a really cool gun. It's harder to reload than the phantom, but I like the pistol feel more

cheapness is goodness

Thats what i hear. I also have a question for anyone who would know about running a pump on nitro. all i have are nitro tanks, and i have no idea what they would do to a pump. Its probably no big deal but i would like to know if this would cause any problems. I know most people use co2 because they like 12 grams, but i severely hate 12 grams and anything that is associated with them.

i played pump at the pump day over on the east side of florida, and it was my first time ever playing pump, and i loved it. it was much more skill and a lot of movement.

[Adamk58]

movement

thats why i think it would be more fun. there would be more moving and everybody knows it gets old when people are shootin 100s of balls at you just to keep you from goin anywhere.

Phantom is an excellent choice. Sterling is suppose to be coming out with a new gun also. (takes spyder threaded barrels) and reasonably priced from what I here. Advantage of a phantom is you can get a SC body and a Direct Feed body and swap them. Extra bodies are only like $40.

Adam.. I don't see why HPA would affect a pump. Pumps are much simpler operation than most semis. And since HPA is a cleaner air source it should be fine. The other option is pick up a 12oz C02 bottle. They don't cost that much. I'm not a big fan of 12gs either. I use them with my phantom for now. Eventually I'll switch it over to a 12 oz on a bottom line.

thats pretty weird that sterling is makin new stuff. i havent seen anything out of them for a while. i think ill get a phantom though. i like how theyre set up and all the different stuff you can get for them. i think if i do get one ill run it with a 15 round tube and some sort of bottomline setup. ive got alot of spare regs at home (bob long, wgp stuff) and does anyone know if it would be worth puttin one on there?

Adam I will refer you to the following site. www.stockclasspaintball.com There is a ton of good info on there. Join the forums over there. Bunch of nice guys that can give you a ton of info on different set ups. Also hook up with wevo on the forum. He is a phantom dealer and has some good prices on them. Thats who I picked up mine from.

stock class forum

i might have to do that right now

www.bunkerboyz.com is a good resource as well. I picked up one of their "updated" Sterlings second hand. Center feed, nice bolt.

/I don't play stock, usually its compressed and a normal hopper

Thats probly what Ill end up doing. I know Ill at least have a tank on there, but i dont know about a hopper. I also have to say that i went to bunkerboyz and it is a pretty cool place.
