OLD Spyder question

prophet224 · 05-29-2008, 01:07 PM

Hi, I just got bought an A-5 with a bunch of upgrades, and I love it. Along with it the guy I bought it from threw in an old Spyder for free. This is the model I remember playing with (as well as the pro-lite) as a rental in the mid-90's.

Yes, it's old, but this will make my third gun, and it worked well then, no reason I can't keep it around to lend to a friend if needed. Problem is, I need to find a barrel. It's either a One (Classic) or a Compact. It looks like Spyder hasn't changed much, so I'm wondering if anyone knows what I could get that would fit this. I also need to find a 'striker knob', the piece you actually pull back on to actually cock the gun. It's piece 39A here: http://www.spyder.tv/section/support...mpact_2in1.pdf

Well, thanks all!

Any Spyder threaded barrel will work, Spyder threads are nice and consistent throughout the ages.

If no one on here has an old knob, you could try doropaintball. They have (or can order) factory parts for just about any marker. However, they will take your wallet and do unsavory things to it, so be prepared to pay more for the part than the rest of your marker is worth. You could also just call Kingman and ask if they have any new old stock parts, they usually do.

Edit: I lied. $5

Wow.... thank you!

Price wasn't bad, but $11.50 for shipping! I'm going to see if I can get something that fits from home depot first!

Thanks again!
