| Whatever happened to Ravi's page...? Back in the day when I was really getting into custom guns, I would read and re-read Ravi Chopra's (Possibly misspelled?) page, which eventually ended up on paintballravi.com IIRC. That place was a wealth of knowledge for most things pre-electronic. Does anybody know what happened to all that information? The pics, howtos, and the reviews are valid to this day, especially considering all the nostalgia gunwhoring going on.  I don't suppose anybody actually saved the pages for offline viewing at some point and still has them? |

| Was that the place they took down because everyone was selling the plans on ebay? |

| I have no idea what happened to him, but I remember reading his site with envy, longing for the day I could afford a custom marker. Now, I have a serious problem. UMich Site: Ravi's Paintball Place A few of his later articles were reprinted in the Techrooms on p8ntballer.com: P8ntballer.com paintballravi.com used to work with the WayBack Machine, but it doesn't appear to be working now. I don't know if they are experiencing temporary problems or if it's gone for good.

| Wow! Haven't thought of him in a long time. I used his site to decide between an Automag and Autococker.(chose the Mag) And this place was the first I heard of PPS and the Nasty Typhoon. Also liked Durty Dan's site. Would be cool if these guys surface every once in awhile.

| Oh, I loved Ravi's paintball pages! He had the best 'cocker timing guide (Moody Paintball is the top of the heap these days) as well as some of the best reviews of parts and complete builds for the 'cocker I've ever seen. I'd wondered what happened to Ravi himself, if he just got tired of the sport and left it like Durty Dan did. Emailed DD a couple of times before he finally gave up on the whole shebang, and he was very disillusioned with all the BS he saw in the sport/industry. Sad to see both of them leave.
