Thank you .
I am away from home due to work a lot, so you have to be patient whilst I research, when I get home, I'll have to look thru files and see if I got any relevant pictures too.
But I promise I will try and explain as much as I can.
I have to be honest, when Jon Sos suggested we sold all of these items, I was enthusiastic to clear some space …..As we started to collect these bits of fantastic metal together, I started to get very melon coli…
For instance the RT with the swept back feed tube /warp .Number 169 … Tom gave me that. He gave Jon Sos and myself an RT each when they were first released, we literally stripped them before we shot them to see how they worked!!
169 has been my shirt number since, so I almost kept it back, along with the Purple mag , the Xmag etc etc ….
Jon Sos pondered me with a question “really? When are you going to use any of it again ?.....let it go to some one who will appreciate it “
Yup he was right …seeing all the stuff you have, I know you will.
I did keep one item back my first automag, I promised my son Wayne I would never sell it, so he could have it . He was 16 at the time, which was 16 years ago. So I kept my promise.
But I’ll tell you all as I see it and remember it.
Manike will no doubt be a a great source as we all three of us spent countless hours, discussing , tinkering , inventing machining when the Xmag was being born.
I remember in the cut’n’carve beginning of the Xmag , Jon sos Simon and myself did a Friday late nite , Saturday all day and Sunday all day on the first trials literally living in the machine room ….. Absolutely barmy but I suppose that’s what living paintball does to you! lol
Regards Jon Bon

I would love to hear about all of the history about each marker and part if you have the time. I'm actually bringing all of this equipment with me to Living Legends 2014 and would love to know the back story on each item I display. I'll try and get a few more pictures ready for everyone to drool over

and vacum Beds :rofl:
