But how minty is it? Are we sure those are the stock pneus? I thought the chrome ones had matching pneus? Maybe it was offered as part of a different package or something. I'm not sure.
It doesn't come with a chrome barrel to match, nor does it have the shroud.

Just food for thought.

Good points. Actually, very good points. Minty, as in never saw a game, and may not have seen paint go through it.

The shroud should be there, and It should be plated as well. My buddy's other micrococker had that. Unfortunately, this particular example does not.

I am not sure about the matching pneus...I will rely on the MCB'ers to help me on that. Although I could call ProTeam later and ask...

The plastic frame is cheap, but it grew on me...and I could totally see that as standard equipment, but you guys would know better.

The barrel in the picture is a "chrome"/nickel barrel, although it may not look it...

Thanks to everyone in advance for helping to make this auction as straightforward and 100% legit as possible.

Ok cool! I couldn't tell on the barrel in the picture (for some reason I thought it was black).

In comparison to mine, I have a chrome frame and the front block is black, but the pneumatics are chrome with an Armsen barrel. Could just be variations in how they were built.

No, it was a stock nickel Micro that was so fresh and clean that neither I nor Chaos could bring outselves to use it, and it was eventually sold to PW Paintball as a wallhanger. There was no wear on the sled or grooves, and the only nick on it was below the powerfeed and wasn't visible (or major), and the only thing not right with it were the missing pnues.

I'm pretty clear on what's worth what when it comes to ProTeam and Armson schwag... I own more PTP markers than anyone on this site, I'm sure (not counting Tracy and Forrest), and though I currently only own 2 Microcockers, I've owned plenty more in the past.

Like I said, $250 would be a good price.

I'm thinking of calling Tracy or Forrest, partly because they are quite enjoyable to talk to. They never seem like it you are bothering them, unlike 99% of any other business I have called or dealt with in my life.

I've got two PTP Microcockers right now. One is "Blue Nights" and I think the other is "cool camo." The going price is usually $250 give or take depending on the condition.

I'm always up for getting more microcockers tho... so if anybody wants to sell one to me let me know and we can start talking


^^^^ To the above post... Where did you get the new back block? I think I'm going to need to replace mine soon. Pretty good looking marker BTW.

Bought it direct from PTP about 3 years ago. I got a spare rod, the original back block, bolt, and pin to go with it. Also, all the cables and Palm Pilot.

This bad boy is for sale. I put it back together last weekend, works like a charm, no leaks. But as with all Microcockers, especially those electrofied, the dang thing is LOUD. But, it's a good loud. CLACK, BOOM, CLACK, BOOM.

Very sweet gun. If you happen to know anyone interested, please forward him this post. Thx.
