Karta Body and Rail

[Xyxyll]

Now that Walking Stick has scratched his itch, it's time I put my hat back in the ring. WANT TO BUY a Karta body and rail or full marker. Any color.

Last year I got back into paintball after a ten year hiatus, and I've slowly been rebuilding the collection. My most prized paintball marker back in the day was my gloss black Karta Emag, pictured below. As a broke college kid, I sold it, and now that I'm back, I'm really missing my old Karta.

Haven't had any luck hunting for a Karta the past year on my own, so I'm hoping the AO community can keep an eye out.

Thanks all for your help.

1 - Be ready to beat Jake to them as he's after his tenth! You gotta setup keyword Google alerts or something on the relevant locations.

2 - They do pop up as a complete E-Mag with fancy matching ano job but be prepared for the $1000- 1400 price tag!

Good luck!

I appreciate the advice. Congrats on the karta body!

Yeah, odds are if I don't see a karta within 10 min of its posting, it'll be gone. It's tough in this world of no availability. I wonder where they all are.

3 times as many Kartas were produced than Dallaras... yet i've only ever come across one Karta in my collection, and probably 7 or 8 different Dallaras have been through my hands. Crazy.

3 times as many Kartas were produced than Dallaras or Chords

That always dumbfounded me too!

Kartas move super fast.... They really should consider another run of them ....

To be clear, i think they were referring to the guys who originally bought them all those years ago that have just been holding on to them... Not young hoarders like yourself

I mean, I've got a few years on superman, but I'm pretty healthy. I can wait it out if need be.

Hopefully it doesn't come to that.

I'd just like to have one..... Haha. Deadly Wind would make a killing if they did another run of them and charged like $300 or $400.....

I wouldnt even bother trying to run them for that price. There is a lot of machine time in those bodies and then polishing afterwords to get them to look right. Look at the xmt evo bodies. those sold for like 350? raw unpolished and didn't have the detail or finish work these would need. It wouldn't be worth their time.
