Guns of Navarone?

[Jaan]

I did talk to Paul at PW Paintball and he does indeed have a Navarone gun...I'll send him the link to this thread and maybe he'll post a picture.

Well Jaan I looked thru my pics of my guns and this is the one.

Sorry about the bad angle, the guy I had taking pics was not good at it.
One thing I noticed about the pics from apg and my gun is that the back of the body and the sight on my gun is longer. I'm guessing that this one is a later one than what is pictured in apg. I got this off of e-bay last year and the seller described it as:

This is a Used Factory Team Navarone Line SI BushMaster Deluxe Pump Paintball Marker. ...Checkered 45 Frame By Ken KID Hovanian !!!...Custom Trigger Shoe !!!...Custom Engraving !!!...Wrap around Custom Grip !!!...Extended Cocking Bolt On Left Side... Co2 or Compressed Air Ready...Limited Edition ,Factory Team Tournament Paintball Pump Marker, you had to be ON TEAM NAVARONE to get one.
This Paintball Marker probable shot ,Bert Vigil , and Randy Kamaya ...... your welcome. Deluxe comes with a barrel that slids out With a twist of a screw , mine is stuck and is sold as is.

If any one knows more about this gun I would love to hear about it.

Rick Schroeder, that's funny you mentioned him bound. I always heard he was on Navarone. Since we had some old timers on here I was going to ask if it was true. Never heard he was on sudden death. The stories I always heard were he was on Navarone.

Those were awesome fields I used to love giving Ron the old head ref greif The only bad part of their fields was the spring time when the mosquitoes would eat you alive and the stinging nettle down by the river got really bad. I loved how they would start the safety speech with "No, you can't shoot at the planes".

Too bad Velocity has ruined the old San Diego Paintball field in Ramona

hahaha i totally remember those!!! People would even parachute in every now and then. Id have to say the field with the running water was probably my favorite followed by the field full of mounds.

Love the old Bushmasters!

I have one of the old Terminator Bushmasters. Blue with 45 grips. But it was the FL Terminators, not UK... I also have a generic black one with 45 grips. Both have a bottomline setup. Very quick and consistant guns. I took a verticle grip for a mossberg shotgun and modified it for a pump. LOL, people used to come off the field cussing me for bringing a semi to "pump" day. Mine are a little younger than the ones in the picture. In the 90's, I had a red one like those, complete with CA and 12 gram adapters.

Have you found the ad yet ? I know I have one just have to look. I also have a navarone patch bob gave me back in the day...

[KayleAGD]

but did you know, t.v.s own ricky schroeder and his dad were members of sudden death? man, am i old. and does anyone remember naverones andy greenwells paintball gun : the blade"? i still have one in my basement in the box it came in.

I remember him playing with constant pursuit with Fred Schultz. Keeping the Blade in the box is the only way to keep it from breaking ...

I don't remember Ricky playing with us ever. Dave "Youngblood" did once, but I don't remember Ricky. It could have been after me...

Oh yea "dave" was in the suit and there was a woman playing at the time. She was short dark headed and mean as H l. I only saw them at the masters in nashville every year.

[bound for glory]

i'm positive ricky scroeder played for team sudden death. infact, there was a local legend that he paid for the airfair to fly his entire team to skirmish in jim thorpe pa. to play in a woods tourney. but i played almost every weekend in the 1980's and i don't beleive it. wonder if he still plays?

[bound for glory]

hey kyleadg, your right about the blade! i beleive mine came with striped barrel threads,lol. i don't even remember why i bought one. i remember calling the company to ask about one for a buddy of mine and got talking to lance skank, another naveronne guy. i think he convinced me to but it. anyway, i had an automag and money to burn through, so now it sits in the basement after only being shoy once or twice. and never in a game. wonder if its worth anything?

If you think about getting rid of it let me know .. I could put it between the promaster and my poison...

Yep, I found it scanned already over on MCB and it's now my wall paper on my machine at work. I needed it to balance the chi with a co-workers overly "agg" speedball wall paper.

You may have a Navarone patch, but do you have a "Mickey's Jihad" patch?
