      The name Pro Master reminds me of a fishing pole.

      Is this Pro Master thing a sear tripper? If it is, wouldn't that make the Ion better? Sorry, I'm a little confused about the whole electro business.

        It's not a sear tripper. Maybe manike can enlighten us on if it's better than the ION (I assume he's shot both). On paper, it's better out of the box, but also $100 more.

          It's definitely not a sear tripper, it works similary to the previous bushmasters, which means it works like Angels, Intimidators and Ego's etc....

          It also comes with QEV inside as stock. :)

          I'm not unbiased so it would be better if other people were to compare it to the Ion rather than I.

          I lent mine to two friends with Ions... they are now buying Promasters and getting rid of their Ions...

              it looks good except that funky ASA on the front. they could have at least milled that ugly block on the front. but other than that it is a very sexy gun, I wonder if it will accept aftermarket parts from previous models, because if so, I might have to strip my bushy and preform a mild overhaul on this one

                I was thinking if I got one I'd try and throw an Acid Customs vert frame + trigger on it, maybe get a new hpr, clamping feedneck, and barrel kit. That would be an awsome set up.
                Granted, by then you would have spent like 750, and coulda gotten a much "higher end" gun instead, but considering that price includes a 200 dollar barrel kit, and any hpr of your choice etc, I think its a fine price.

                  So far I've had nothing but horrid luck with any ICD gun, and I've owned them all except the Freestyle. Even Pumas and Alley Cats.......... so I'm leary of buying this gun.

                        There never was with the Bushmaster series of guns (what this is based off). Maybe you were thinking of the BKO?

                        The Promaster takes many of the same parts as the old Bushmasters. Valves, bolts, feednecks. etc, but takes the new board, trigger and detents of the freestyle. It's also cocker threaded.

                          Now that I hear it's cocker threaded, I am REALLY interested. I just got an Autococker Stiffi barrel, and I really didn't want to have to resort to a barrel adapter.

                          How well does the Bushmaster series run on CO2? I can get HPA at the field, but if I'm not at the field the only type of air I have available is CO2.

                              from what I understand Timmy and cocker threaded barrels are the same. I know somw guys that use kaner kits from Karnivores on their timmys.

                                yeah intimidators use cocker threads. they are the same. the bushmaster has had cocker thread since 2k3.5. and the bushy will NOT run on co2. it is an actual electro pneumatic gun. this means that unlike an emag (where you can run co2) all of the gases go through the solenoid. co2 will ruin the solenoid very quickly and your gun will not work. that is an 80 dollar repair.
