Nelson projects SNY Commando, Nelspot 007

Here are my entries for the Spring Nelson Project build

Project 1 is one of two (well three if you count the one I picked up for my brother, the second on has been allready started on so Ill use this one for documentain instead, kill two birds with one stone) SNY Commandos ( from MadLarkin/Cousins paintball ) This project will double as a detailed investigation of the SNY Commandos, which could in fact actualy be the long lost WGP Pro45 (however since very little is known of the pro45 its impossible to tell) What is known is that the first WGP Commandos were built for the home team of Survival New York. From my commumications with MadLarkin, it has been determined that these were ordered by the feild owner specificly so that they could swap the barrels between the rental fleat which consisted of WGP snipers at that time, at a time when the Commando didnt exist (or at least none except possibly the origonal 15 "Prize" Commandos built for the Master Blasters) Because of the lack of infor on the Pro 45 and becuase from looking at these up close they obviosly arent Commandos, I have decided to label these "SNY Commandos". Either way, In my opinion, these are some of the rarest WGP guns in existance, and likely the only ones you'll ever see are from Madlarkins/Cousins Sale. There will be a very deatiled breakdown of this SNY Commando in particular which will also detail the complete resoration of this gun. (With the exception of possibly using lapco guts, just because I like them )

Also If anyone has pictures of the 3/4 wrap pump found on the Prize Commanos Id LOVE to see those, but for the time being the gun will sport a WGP Ranger pump.



Project 2, which will also be documented in this thread (allthough not anywhere to the same extent) is a Nelspot 007. I have not decided the derection of the project yet, however it will feature a brass barrel for shure. And will probly feature the origonal feed tube as Im just too fond of the way they look.
