Paintball

Awesome, thanks for the info; learn something new every day. The only flaw IMO of any side or top-cocking pump design (bolt/hammer assy. being exposed to the elements) is solved right there w/ that great little in expensive fix! Again, thanks for sharing!

So you never had that last paintball stuck in the bottom of the tube. They also didn't have the rings around the outside of the tube, just smooth down the entire sides. They were easy to cut out with scissors. The one's these days are almost impossible to cut like this. Later on Adventure Game Supplies (then TASO) came out with an actual cover kit you could buy, but they were much thicker than the tube material. We old crawling players put these in place to keep out the dirt.

These were original TASO slot covers I have always loved them.

I always pull mine off, I dont like the way they feel, and I like to look down at the bolt/Hammer because sometimes I forget if I cocked it or not.

Pics of my new Bushmaster Deluxe, came with stock(?) barrel and a carbon fiber barrel w/ a delrin sleeve on it, and I'm going to pick up a constant air grip frame for it off of my teammate I got this from.

And does anyone know what either of the barrels are?

The two barrels that came with it (top one is carbon fiber, and has a Delrin sleeve on it):

Sorry for the crappy lighting and phone pics, it was the best I could do at the moment :/
