Why the heck are Marq's so cheap compared to the Vice and Protege? - Page 2

A.C. Basbas · 03-26-2008, 02:00 PM

Yeah, the "Mummy" milling is the cheapest because it hardly sold. The "Rappers" went fastest because they were light and didn't look like crap. I wouldn't mind a Marq 7 (or even 6) Rapper at $500; it's a hell of a deal, and frankly the feed system and the 4-eyes makes it nicer than a Vice in my book.

Ehhhh... The "Mummy" is a hybrid private lable Marq.

Actually its a pretty nice gun. They are going cheap now because hybrid tanked and flooded the marqet (pun intended) with some 50 ish body kits... this is mine and is a body kit.. still hot

Contend all you want my friend, facts are facts and that's all there is to it. The Darq is the lightest of all Marqs, the Lucky 15 barrel is superbly accurate, and you get Tadao Musashi technology.

Eh, the Closer is still my favorite of all the Marqs.

If your worried about a few ounces you need to work out more

Avoid the Mummy (sorry BigOldSchool) as there is a motor issue with the gun. The one part that WILL NOT interchange with the other Marq series can fail and cause an internal leak. Not Bob's fault as he did not make it, did not design it, and recommended against it. Much like the Hybrid Traitor Shocker that Smart Parts does not have Traitor specific parts for, Bob does not have the Hybrid specific replacement parts for the Mummy.
Oh, and the Vice is nice.

I need to get a Vice...

Now who to buy from..?

Closer is top dog. You can have the darq.
Vice is a freaking machine gun. I love it.
