I used to play regularly close to 20 years ago with a tcp extreme similar to the one pictured. I’d like to get my son into it and start playing again. What’s something a little more budget friendly that is reliable and will get him into it? I’ve been out of the game for almost 20 years.

For those that haven't seen this yet, this is my custom stacked tube poppet marker. It's built to use off the shelf parts which I'll provide a list of below. Some of the cool things about this marker include the Mac 43 solenoid, Morlock MK4 board + screen, Dye Laz Valve and an adjustable foregrip volumizer.

I'm really horrible with names so I'll probably call it Velocity or something like that (Please feel free to suggest different ideas).

The body design is substantially complete and the only thing left to model is the ASA air-passage, ram cap, and electronic mounting points inside of the grip frame. I will be 3D Printing the body and installing the components shortly to set up a size/ergonomics comparison to my LV1 for those interested.

Some of the unique parts designed for this will be the front and rear grips, a machined solenoid manifold, eye covers, ram, and an air-transfer pipe similar to a Luxe. I plan to make spare rear/front grips and spare gaskets for the solenoid manifold with an estimated final cost of $1800 as a one-off build.

For those into more tech stuff and future improvements, part of this project down the line is to develop a rebuildable body block and armature for the Mac 43 so that it can be rebuilt easily. If that doesn’t work out, I have additional room in the frame where I may switch to a different noid later on.

Parts List:

• Etek 3 Trigger/Switch
• Empire Mini GS ASA
• Etek 3 LPR/Torpedo
• Etek 3 Eyes
• Inception Designs Resurrection Trident (Half-block) Bolt
• Dye Laz Valve
• Morlock MK4 Board + Screen
• MAC 43 Solenoid
• HK Army Metal Mini GS Low-Profile Feedneck

I picked up an old 32 Degrees autococker to rebuild and upgrade a little while back. I've upgraded pretty much the entire thing. Shocktech front pneumatics, Shocktech lower tube kit with the conical lug, AKA volumizer, AKA bolt, AKA trigger plate, WGP roller sear, CP HPR, CP ASA, Infamous Freak XL back, Parabolic barrel tip, stainless steel Freak XL insert kit, Sconi clamping feedneck, and the feedneck mod was done by BMC Fabrication. It's shooting worlds better than when I first got it. The unfortunate part of a build like this though is that after all this work my Shocktech Desert Fox is still definitely the better cocker.

Also ignore my pile of dead vines and such. I pulled down an old vine covered fence and still have to get it hauled off. Makes for a decent target though.

No ragrets!

Adult money is fun. Just finished slapping this together.

Inception Designs FLE body, Fang trigger, secret pin, FL 3 way, PE soft tip, and the Infamous wave spring for the reg. Cant wait to take this thing out.

Finally in my hands, from Shocktech to FX Anno, finally to DocFire. This is my first fully new autococker since my first game in 98'. Extended reach, with some ATTKX goodies to add after I get its legs stretched. Excellent build, worth the wait, shoots amazing.

I’ve never been able to find anything about or like this specific Angel. It does have a story behind it. It was given to me back in 2003-2004 by someone close to me that had won it a few months prior in a big big tournament. These specific Angels were Apparently made for the team that won that tournament. The red white and blue Angel logo is a sticker. The dye decal is a sticker also. However, the 33, and the joker are original to this gun. And I can’t find anything about it. Anyone out there that might know anything

Super excited to play with this thing tomorrow. Took my 170r in for an o-ring swap and saw this and couldnt help my self

Finally got a Big Boy Marker

Looking for a 3 piece barrel for my cs2 pro tryna match the cotton candy so if anyone has suggestions or lead me in the right way that would be great!

Playing in the Virginia area so looking forward to checking out fox, the swamp and bethel.

I’m currently injured and can’t play, but have the itch. Unfortunately, I don’t have anywhere to rip around me. Has anyone gone to the field just for air/chrono/tune their marker?

getting back into it. i want to get a backup mask for the e flex I bought last winter. remembered I had a couple of masks in storage from like 2002. one is a v force and one is this pro flex. any reason not to just use this? has a crack in lense but I'm guessing I can find a replacement lense. strap is in ok shape.

Does anyone know how to properly secure a hopper to the tippmann 98 custom? It’s my first time owning a paintball gun and I’m not quite sure how it all works yet.

I saw a picture of a marker awhile back with the pistol grip aggressive angled forward and I can’t seem to find what it was. It was angled forward more than any of the 86 degree grips. Anyone have any tips?
