Rumor has it refurbs are direct from ICD..."spare parts" guns put together with remaining inventory... RIP ICD

Hiring people not qualified to take telephone orders, maybe? That's why I took my wholesale business elsewhere when I was retailing paintball gear. You can only put up with so much bad service.

I just received my ProMaster, and it looks great! It came in-box with spare parts, tools, a 90* swivel fitting, macroline, and manuals.

I also got another refurb BL Torpedo and some neat little KAPP bottomline ASAs that lighter and more compact than any rail/asa combo I've seen. It would seem that

Also, I have a Promaster Proposition for MCB.

Yes because people who sell a 1400 dollar gun for 500 so they can buy the 1 year newer model for 1500.... those guys are real penny pinchers!

Got my Promaster from I&I today. CA to GA in 5 days "cheap stardard" shipping is great!

Came in factory box, all parts in baggies, oring kit,detents, allens, 14inches of macroline, Gun is flawless.

As best i can tell it was "refurb" due to HP reg issues because there is a small sticker on the reg that says "OK". I have air untill sunday will test then. They do need to be LUBED it was dry from the facotry.

BUY ONE GREAT DEAL!!!

I just got my second ProMaster. It was supposed to be a silver model, and was marked as such on the box, but it was red. Oh well, I guess I'll have a black ProMaster with red parts.

They just shipped my order after 7 business days.

But I did order 10 Tigersharks, so I can understand that it might have confused them

Doh

Got my silver promaster today. It came with no box, no paperwork, and tool marks on the front. They just packed it in manilla envelopes and put it in the fed-ex box. I guess they are starting to run low and I got the "bottom of the barrel."

Meh, I guess I cant complain for $100, but I got my hopes up after hearing all the stories of nearly new-in-box items.

wow, I ordered two and they came in the box like new. You should call them back and get a refund.

Firstcall paintball is selling promasters on eBay for "best offer" and they'll allegedly take $99 for one. According to the ProMaster PBN forum, the ProMasters from FirstCall do not come with huge amounts of red loctite on every threaded part.
