Value of an old ANS Generation X Cocker?? - Page 2

Mr. Furious · 06-08-2007, 04:57 PM

Thanks for the estimates and positive comments. It does have the usual scuffs here and there that you'd expect but nothing all the way through the anno. as you can see from the pics. It was pretty clean when I got it but I did my "Monk" makeover to it and it's looking pretty good now. I still need to completely tear it down and probably replace all the seals while I'm at it but I'm going to use it this Sunday and see how it does on the field. I timed it(had to dust off the "timing autocockers" section of my in-cranium reference library) and it cranks fast with a rare shortstroke even with my stupid fingers.

Most in that condition and vintage regularly trade for 60-80 tops. Drop a quality pump kit on it and the value will rise significantly.

I shot this marker all day today. It was incredible. Ball on ball accurracy that got a lot of respect from the guys shooting shockers, ego's and ions. The quick fire is super easy to shoot fast and hard to shortstroke. I didn't break a ball all day and only double loaded one when the tank was almost empty. The barrel was a perfect .689 and shot darts.

The only thing I didn't care for was the abysmal air efficiency. I was getting about 700 per 4000 fill. Air is free so the only inconvenience was the more frequent walks to the shop but I'm thinking it should be a lot better.

Main reg is set at about 340/350psi so I'm wondering if that's a little low for an older cocker....

700 per 4000 fill is horrible for a Cocker. You have some springing issues. Someone probably tried to make it work on low pressure at all costs...even common sense. I would imagine a good set of springs, some reg tweaking and tips from the gurus here could get you in the 800-1000 shot range.

Hey i was looking at this gun and what to know what you guys think of it and any info that you have on it that could be helpful.

those system X guns are almost brand new, not sure what they are worth. Oddies for sure with the center mounted LPR.

Id pay 200 for a gen X like that, i dont see them much, not that nice. At least thats what I would be willing to sell it for. Otherwise id rather bathe it in dust. Looks like a nice piece.

Screw a pump kit.

Hillg, since that one is electro the cost will be higher. I can't really say how high since I don't really follow e-cocker prices what with being a staunch mechanical only sort of guy. But there's no doubt that anything SystemX is going to be priced a little below the lowest end of the WGP electro pricing scale. SystemX just doesn't get much respect these days.
