what is this?

[JimmyBeam]

just saw this for sale, and was just curious what it was. a little TLC would do this wonders.

PMI-1?

I'm probably wrong.

[jenarelJAM]

looks like a custom made pb gun made out of copper tubing and some misc. gun parts.

[DiSoRdeR]

Is it operational?

[sisco87]

must be custom made....ive never seen anything like it before

That looks like a custom job of some sort, a pump without a doubt, designed to have the CO2 jutting out the back like a stock. It's not especially old, and I doubt it'd be much of a collectors item. Not a huge fan of the craftsmanship either, some of the welds are a little messy, and that makes me ask what's going on inside of it.

No clue if it's operational. I don't see anything that would suggest it's not, but I can't see inside it.

The closest thing I found was a McMurray and Sons Avenger...that obviously just has pnuematics to make it semi-auto. I could, and most likely am wrong though...I'll make a post on mcarterbrown for you.

Think it's a semi?

Think it's a semi?

Never mind...I realized that isn't a ram on the side. It's two elbows and some SS line.

EDIT: I am allmost positive that is what it is...look at a picture of mcarterbrown.com



All that needs is some new grips, and a different pump handle. Also it was stripped of it's paint(or powdercoat I have no idea).

[JimmyBeam]

thanks guys. its goin for pretty cheap (75), although im not sure if i want to put the time into fixing this up or not yet.

PMI-1?

I'm probably wrong.

You are correct sort of, it appears to be a PMI1 modded into a semi. That was my first gun, well, not that one, but a PMI-1.

A friend of mine has about 2-3 of those. They are pretty fun to mess around with, but we cant get the velocity under 320, so we stopped using them

And jeeeesh, if I didn't feel old this morning when I got up I sure feel old now. "must be custom made....ive never seen anything like it before" BAH! It reminds me of an old episode of Buck Rodgers, where some bad guys found a cache of "ancient" nerve gas and other artifacts. One of the artifacts was a Browning machine gun. Buck Rodgers picks it up and the guys says "you fool, that's an ancient signaling device!" Buck then lets off a burst and say "Get the message?" Only this time it hasen't been 500 years, it's only been what, 10?
