MCB mentioned in March 07 APG!

Walrus · 02-20-2007, 04:53 PM

Well, my wonderful wife went down to the local shop and got me the March 2007 Action Pursuit Games magazine as a Valentine's present. Well, after I had thumbed through all the pretty pictures I went back and started reading the articles (a few days later). I ran across the "Professor Paintball" section of the magazine and wouldn't you know it right in the middle of the page someone asked about a Z1. Here is the article:

"Q: What is the Model Z1 semi-auto?"

"Professor: THis marker was manufactured by Montneel. It is now out of production. You can find out something about them at www.mcarterbrown.com in the forums. Not many Z1 markers were made. APG reviewed the Z1 when it came out quite a number of years ago. Someone who would know a lot about the Montneel markers is Blue Hanse at EMR in Pennsylvania." - Action Pursuit Games 02/07 pg. 84

Well, at least we are getting some good press as a group that knows the ins and outs of older markers! Keep up the good work guys and gals

Cool, I wonder if it will actually affect membership rates (non paying).

I paged through one not too long ago that cited MCB as a good place to find older cocker parts. I think it was a 'Cocker Doctor' article.

Thats interesting.

Thats almost exactly like the quote Jessica Sparks said on the "about Paintball" website.

Funny how every guy instinctively goes through all magazines that way!
Must go back to the days of finding dad's playboy stash as a kid!

Don't prevaricate, Steve.... we all know that you mostly skim through a mag looking to see if there are any new underwear ads bearing your visage.

After that, you can look for an MCB mention or pic, or just toss the magazine right into the recycling bin.

Yep, generally my first trip or two is looking at all the pics for new gear and for nice action shots with classic and rare markers. Then I go back through reading all the articles to see what I missed. If I didn't then it would take me forever to get through one because I would be stuck looking at the pics and loosing my place when trying to read

Afterwards they get thrown on the stack to be forgotten about...
