Hey all. I caught wind that PTP has some micro's they were planning on doing some final special edition with and so I emailed them. Turns out they have a few now old stock bodies that they thought were lost for good in stock and they are selling them off on a first come first serve basis.
I hassled Forest for a price quote and found out they are a bit too much for my strained paintball account right now and so I said I would pass on the news in order to help him sell them. He will make you a great package deal on a body kit. The best part is they have Theaded Feednecks and come with a pantented PTP clamping feedneck. Here is a bit of the emails in which he gave me details. For a custom body that needs no rail <200$ sounded great I just can't talk myself into having the fire sale I would need to in order to afford it.

We were planning to do a special edition for the last 10 that we have (the bodies went missing between the machine shop and assembly, and everyone was convinced that they were at the "other" facility - they turned up a few months ago at the shop and we've been trying to figure out what to do...). At this point we've had so much interest that we've decided to just work with people like yourself that have made inquiries recently. These are the "standard" vertical feed Micromag 2000's. The feed necks are threaded with WGP threads and we are providing either a high or low collet system (our patented one...) as part of the body kit. We have some of the bodies going in for matte black ano tomorrow, and there will still be a few bodies available raw if that's a better option. Now that we've decided to actually release them this way, they'll probably all be gone by the end of next week just because of word of mouth. We have a few "Micro only" accessories that we can package with them, although we are limited with some colors - if you are going with a raw body and would strip the parts it wouldn't be an issue to begin with, but we can probably still match up enough matte black parts to match most configurations. If you can give me an idea of your preference(s) I'll be able to work the pricing for you.
Some options:
1. Body only (includes detent arm, collet system, threaded sear pin) raw or matte black
2. Single or double trigger (Benchmark RT Pro style)
3. Vertical Fore grip "non-gas thru" with Twist lock barrel plug (one piece - nice! - hollow base accepts the benchmark Twist Lock barrel plug - if you don't remember it: this barrel plug was HOT in the day - polished aluminum - locks and unlocks with a twist - sold for $15 - $20 - included at no charge..) Still have some left in matte black - plug would be a bright color.
4. Vertical Fore grip "gas thru" - colors limited to high polish Ultra Black and Ultra Nickel (one I think..)
5. Vertical ASA - I need to check on these - I can't remember if we have none left OR if they are all nickel... - We have Benchmark screw-in fore grips and "mini" fore grips that look good.
Working these options into "packages" is a better way to give you a really good deal. Certain Micro parts will only go out with these kits (we were originally going to "load them up") and we would just as soon see more complete kits go out this way.
Regards,
Forest

When he last emailed me he had five left. If someone feels bad for me not being able to afford one and wants to buy my stuff you can find a new sale thread coming up in the misc. section. Whoever gets these should at least post pics. Sweet machines.
