    Strange Tippmann pro-lite setup

    i have this posted on PBN but no one has taken a stab at what it could be worth. Hoping some more...seasoned players may have seen a pro lite set up like this. I literally picked this up out of shear curiosity and want to know if that angled vertical bottle adaptor thing adds anything to the value.

    Friend of mine had one similar but the forwards asa had the air lines routed internally and thus you could run it with dual tanks or cap one off to run just one tank...as for value...not a clue.

      it's just a pro-lite with a vasa; don't make a big deal about it. $75 or so for just the gun.

        Yea I think those were called mini-lites. Seems strange to run a line back into the handle when it could be run into the valve. That's why I was confused by this set up.

          Want it for $55? I haven't put air in it so it's a hit or miss.

              well...the air line is the trigger guard, so you can't really remove it and have a field-legal gun. also, it was probably just easier lol. this is why i like the 68-carbine / pro-carbine better; it's a little more flexible of a design.

                    Well I just finished putting a line si bushmaster back together. Had to bathe it in wd40 for a day to get the barrel out. But that's going a few years back from 93.

                      Good old rellecs. And yes I remember those as well. Vm68 was the first similar marker I used. Actually have never played with a bushmaster.

                        the pump? they were ok...i liked the pump stroke on it better than on my tippmann sl-68 II (smoother).

                          Just tested it and it shot great.

                            Good looking old marker you got there. The sl68 2 was rugged. But I don't think anyone would ever call them refined.

                              An elegant weapon, for a more civilized age.
