'The Storm'
-Its a old blowback from about 1993. It is in great cosmetic shape for its age, however it is not functional in its current state due to a lack of o-rings for the air line. Below are close up pictures of where two small orings need to be installed to seal the air line. Since this gun has been out of production for a very long time, not sure what orings would work. Later models of this gun use the traditional fittings and stainless steel line like an automag. I would think someone with the ambition, tools, and about 20 minutes, could re-thread the air holes to accomodate this.

I was really geeked about picking this gun up a couple weeks ago, but with those orings missing so it's not able to hold air in its current state, i have no use for it.

Included with the storm are:
-extra 16inch rifled barrel
-Pro line, bottom line adapter
-original manual
-brass eagle mask (not pictured)

Price SOLD!!! + Shipping

I used to own one of these. Not a bad little gun and well worth restoring. The knob on the back allows the whole gun to open via a hinge just ahead of the trigger guard with the stacked bolt and hammer sliding out the rear.

The sight post isn't structural and can be cut off to streamline the gun. There's normally a plastic M-16 style rail above the body, secured with two bolts. The gun looks way better without it.

There's a .69 caliber hole in the front of the grip where a barrel plug goes, when plugs were field legal. I liked having a plug in an easy to find spot.

I believe the air line, breech and cocking arm are all reversible.

This would make a great, old-school loaner marker.

I tapped mine for steel braid, and it was about a 20 minute job.

Is it a blow back or a double action? Looks really interesting.
Edit; Nevermind, just saw the cocking handle. Doh.

Just so any buyer knows, I've have one and I found the little O-rings very easily. Local hardware and or online O-ring kit.

The Storm was non functional out of the box. From what I heard back in the day that was going to be a upgrade, but I think they went belly up before it was ever offered. The PEC Combats were a fully working version of the Storm, though I'm not sure how close their internals were. I had a team mate buy one of these back when they first came out and I don't think he ever got to actually use it in a game ever. It kept getting sent back to the manufacturer for repair but it still never worked.

Makes for a nice museum piece though.

Don't know exactly what you mean by non functional out of the box. I bought mine from an ad in Action Pursuit mag when it came out. Worked fine, had one valve issue, to which Pneumatic Design honored the lifetime warranty without fuss and hooked me up with a long barrel for it too. Mine still functions fine as the day it arrived.

I think these were more in line with the PEC Masters. I know that the barrel threads are the same, as well as the bolt. That's not to say that it wouldn't work with a Combat as well (same company after all) but the styling suggests to me that this was very similar to the Master.
