Oldest original marker owned?

1987/88 Bushmaster PUMP! From Line SI (now known as ICD)
The only mod was I had to engrave the last 4 of my Social Security # on it because my Company Comander made me keep it in the Arms room!
Long live Nelson based guns!! (I just realized...I may have a thing for single tube markers)

Nice to see ya....not posting much lately.

NSG Splatmaster
and a Tippmann SL 68II of '95ish vintage.

Rebel 90 - bought in 1990 of course. This gun was a workhorse. It was the first gun I found that you could buy stock barrels with different inside diameters.
PGP - 1991 (Modified with quickchange CO2 and quick release bolt same year) hardly used. Still mint.
PMI Tracer 1993 - brand new, never used in a game but has fired a few paintballs.

I still have all the stock parts for my 68automag as well, circa 1993. I still use it regularly but it has been upgraded to modern standards so it doesn't count.

Its CA. Its a 9 or 12 oz bottle with a big on off knob on the top of it.

Referred to as "California style" tank setup.

[Dulie]

I have only purchased one marker brand new, one refurb, and the rest were used. The ones that are relatively unchanged...

Spitfire pump (from what I saw on VintageRex, should be about 1986 to 1992 vintage)
PMI-1 (was modded before it got it, not sure on s/n...don't have it in front of me)
VM-68 (only tank config changed since I bought it, but always goes back to how I bought it)
Talon (yes, I have a Talon...actually, 2, but only one grey one)
Tippmann Pro-Lite (not all that old)
and I can't forget about my Splatmaster

I have a few others, but I'm not home to check on them.

Wow, I'm going to come across as a monumental a** (back me up on that Tom...) - but how can you even THINK of putting anything up here that's older than '88? (I'm being generous, it should say '85); 'oldest gun thread' shouldn't even mention anything other than - nelspot, splatmaster, pgp, kp-2, the Uzi and maybe a couple of guns from McMurray & Sons, like the Annihilator.

If its not one of those - its not 'old'; it may be classic, it may be historical, but its not OLD.

Just because a marker was made in a year that pre-dates your birth does not make it old. (It may make YOU a problem for society [youth ALWAYS is, its just one of those things; they can't help it, we have to deal with AND clean up the mess]). :)

The judges will have to decide, but I think a non-serial number PGP is pretty old, but I don't know if a pressure fit barrel extender that never worked qualifies as 'modification'.

Historical Note: If you are 23 years old or younger, you were born AFTER I picked up and fired that PGP for the first time...

Societal Note: If you are 23 years old or older, you should know better than to be wasting your time on this game...
