    I emailed them. They don't have to hide from SP, they're not producing anything new, and already settled for the ones that were already made.

      So unless they are telephone sales only so as to keep the SP dogs away, the statement is...

      You can get the raw halfmill bodies, have them anodised, and send them to AKA for assembly though. So thats basically a brand new Viking that AKA doesnt have their fingerprints on as far as sales.
      Just call, they don't list their entire inventory on either site. I talked to Eileen at AKA a couple of weeks ago and she told me they still had '03 and '04 Viking bodies in stock. It's probably cheaper to order one through DC though. They also have Merlin bodies in stock if anyone is interested. I didn't ask about Excals.

        Go buy an 07 Ego.

        Then trade it for what ever you want.

        Best chance to try out a lot of markers and not pay anything...Whore it out.

        Edit- Honestly, I was never too satisfied with my Viking. Was reliable and all, but felt horrible.
        Hey, look at that! It's Santa!

          iv got an 07 borg, great markers, had the o6 last year again great marker, i suppose they are the spiritual successor to the viking, i.e if viking were still making vikings id imagine it would look and have the same idealogy as the cyborgs, light efficiant consistant etc etc

          heres mine for your viewing pleasure.......

          couldnt reccomend you buying an 07 or even 06 borg enough










          iv got an rpg paradigm pro as well lol

            I agree with this much. The rest is blasphemy.

                  The 07 ego idea doesn't sounds bad so long as the insurance company pays for it all...

                  But I'm curios here. Where are you getting you HPA from now? I remember like, 2 other threads where this came up before.

                    1: I'm buying new not used.
                    2: No vikings/excals/timmy's/mags(I'm moving on from mags for now)
                    3: The insurance company is picking up the tab so....

                    I'm looking at the 07 cyborg because of the insane price of HPA around here but I'm open to suggestions. I've liked just about everygun I've been able to hold (except SP new ion)

                    Ok post away....
                    I have always liked the Borg, but would wait another year til the Milling is a bit more-so, toned down and made smaller.


                    How about an Ego? Always heard very good things bout them.

                      I would recommend the 07 Borg, considering you want efficiency and something new. Of course a PL would be better, but I don't know of any new PL Borgs. Except I think ranjerzproshop has some X-Fighters in stock, don't remember for sure.

                      But let me get this straight. Your house burned down, so your insurance company is buying you a new paintball gun? Are they just giving you what the gun was valued at and you pay the difference, or how is it working out?

                        lolI really don't want to have to go through the process of buying/trading. Just buy one gun and call it good.

                        And yeah I have considered pumps. After today I've decided I'm getting an S6 as a backup to my main gun (nothing but problems today with my mag....)

                        EDIT1: The first S6 I tried was garbage.... I guess the guy just doesen't take care of it or somthing... but today I got to try another S6, it was sick.... I could shoot that thing as fast as a semi auto gun.

                        I'm really looking hard at the A1's and the 07 borgs.... I've had a chance to try an A1 before, but not a borg yet....

                        EDIT2: At NEW value my e-mag was easily worth as much as a borg or A1 or somthing... I've got replacement insurance so I'm just going to put down the gun I want rather than my E-mag(Saves me a lot of hassle because of how it works)

                        wjr: HPA IS avalable around where I live but it is just insanly expensive for me and my team to get it. But since I've got a job I'm going to go out and lease the tank for myself ($90 a year+ like $60-80 to fill). I'm just giving in to the call of compressed air.

                          If AKA was still making guns today, do you think they would release a gun with a crappy solenoid?

                            MacDev is working the issue out, and everything will be fixed free of charge. Fact of the matter is, AKA is NOT making guns today, and MacDev IS. And besides, I'm a viking fan but it isn't like AKA was perfect even while they were making markers.

                            That aside, I'd recommend an 07 after the noid issue is resolved. Even the 06's are fantastic markers and can be gotten at great prices.

                            And I still think the G7 platform is much better than the A1 as far as Angels go.

                              the standard noid is still good for 22bps, and the new noid is out v soon for and is available for free and is tested to 33bps with no shoot down etc.

                              my 06 borg was getting a full case of paint from a 1.1 hp fill, if air is at a premium for you i cant see how you can ignore this pleasant cyborg trait lol im sure the 07 will be the same once iv shot through a few cases and bedded it in

                              i only said its the spiritual successor to the viking due to when u go on akaowners forum alot of the ppl selling/trading thier vikings are doing so for a borg and visa versa on the macdev forum on pbnation

                              or you could just be another sheep and buy an 07 ego but there getting to be a bit of a "clitty" gun if you ask me, i.e every "&%$ has one
