Immaculate Red Smear Automag RT

Riddler · 07-25-2009, 04:55 PM

Howdy gang. I've been the proud owner (and infrequent user) of this amazing red smear RT for about 6 years. I picked it up from my good friend SN Toter, who only owned it for a month or two after acquiring it from the original owner, who bought this marker from AGD at the 1996 World Cup for ~$1200. I don't think he used it more than a couple times. I have the original receipt around here somewhere; will see if I can track it down.

This marker is in collector's condition. Other than one faint mark on the right hand side of the body, just above the foregrip, that you really have to look for to see, the anodizing has no scratches, dents, nicks, fading or wear whatsoever. The polished body only has the typical tiny scuffmarks that every single one gets as soon as it comes out of the box. There is a higher concentration where the elbow attaches to the feedneck. No scratches or other wear on the body whatsoever.

The condition of the marker is largely due to the fact that it has seen extremely minimal use. Bringing it out for one scenario game this season was the first time I'd even shot the gun since '06 or '07.

I'm reluctant to put this marker up for sale/trade, but right now, finances are tight, and it's just taking up a spot in a gun case. Speaking of which, if anybody knows where I can get more Extreme Rage Ballistic gun cases, or can recommend something equally good, let me know. I have a couple that I love, but I think they stopped making them six or seven years ago. I'm one of those silly people who wants matching cases for all of his markers.

Anyways, this RT will come as pictured with the stock barrel and Intelliframe sporting super comfy Dye Stickies. It has a level 10 inside, as well. I typically shoot it with a Freak kit, and can include a black back for a little extra. I have all kinds of spare o-rings, ball detent nubbins, level 10 parts, etc., that I will include.

I'm rather taken with the DP ASA, and would prefer to keep that for another marker, but I can include it if necessary. The ASA came with one small mark on it, if that matters. Just a little surface tap, like it was bumped with a wrench or something. Nothing major. EDIT: that's actually it right below the DP logo on the left side of the ASA. That tiny shiny spot. Yeah.

I honestly don't know what this is worth in terms of a sale price. There weren't many of these made to begin with, and they haven't been made since 1996. The availability of and condition of comparables have been dwindling; I haven't seen any of these for sale in a long while. Considering the condition of this one, it is likely irreplaceable. Let's start with $400. Proceeds will go to something I'd use more. My Gargoyle fund needs some love.

For trades, I don't really have anything in mind. I was looking for a Blazer/Pyre, but I think I have something worked out for a Blazer, so I'm open to anything interesting. I have eclectic tastes, but it has to be quality. I've owned a lot of PPS, AKA, AGD and WDP markers over the years, and a veritable bucketload of pumps, if that says anything about what I like. Centerfeed is a plus.

I would like to be the first to say that you have a real gem there and even with mine, I am very jealous of that. looks to be in perfect shape. Could we see more pictures of nothing else than to drool over?

Cunha · 07-26-2009, 01:26 AM

Zak Could you not bump this post so that I can have more time to think about how to scheme in order to have this sit with my gear never seeing any action on the field like your RT?

I just asked SN-Toter about this gun like 3 weeks ago, hilarious that you post it now.

Riddler · 07-26-2009, 01:35 AM

Let me go take some! I don't have many current pics since I added the ASA and steel braided hose.

Riddler · 07-26-2009, 01:37 AM

For most of the last 6 years, any time I talked to Toter he'd ask if I was ready to sell it back to him. Now that I'm selling it, he can't afford it, and isn't happy about it. Hehe.

Riddler · 07-26-2009, 01:56 AM

pics as requested. i trimmed the empty space a bit on them, but didn't bother resizing. thus, links rather than (img) tags.

Sorry Cunha I have to bump this to say that I am even more bitter now because that Classic has what mine has lost due to reano. The awesome "RT" logo lasered on the foregrip. I think my RT is one of the greatest but dang son that one one hell of an immaculate Classic RT.

I'm saving these pictures because as you rightly said, these things are rare to find, rarer to find complete (barrel+foregrip+rail+sight rail) and rarer still to find complete and brand new.

SN toter · 07-26-2009, 09:02 AM

yeah...hate...you...

Like I said on AO, if you have it in a couple weeks still, I'll take it.

Oh, you should get some pics on natural light w/o the flash, shows tha annoe a LOT better.

Here's the only pic I have of it fromw when I owned it...

Riddler · 07-26-2009, 01:08 PM

yeah, i'm just a night owl with this new 11-8 work schedule. it's weird. come winter, i won't even see daylight except for my drive in to work. will see if i can remember to take a pic or two today. i have a couple errands to run here first.

Riddler · 07-26-2009, 08:43 PM

Here's a random observation... And before I say it, note that I'm not trying to illegally bump my thread or anything here. hell, it's the 8th thread down on the 1st page. With that said...

I don't have a single offer for this marker. Not one cash offer, not one trade offer. No nibbles at all. So sad.
