Ebay

Someone here needs this. My wife won't let me buy a second one at the moment. These are incredable guns to shoot for pistols!

Puma paintball marker vintage rare ultra stock class - (eBay item 170163706988 end time Nov-04-07 16:31:37 PST)

Someone here already found it!

"imcredible" in the sense that it's operating system bears no credibility.

I had one of these and sent it in to Glenn Palmer to see if he could get the "live" CO2 chamber airtight enough to make it a usable gun. Suffice it to say, even a "Palmerized" version of this gun is not worth a 10rd tube of paint for it's practical use on the field.

She is a wall hanger and that paint job goes a long way toward making even that use for this one somewhat lower.

My advice (take it for what it is worth to you) is don't buy this with the hopes of playing any ball with it. The lowliest Nelspot is better than this.

Cheers,
D.

Actually, this is the retarded cousin of the lowliest Nelspot.

$5 says that paint is covering enough rust to pollute the entire Atlantic ocean.

Really...I didn't know the Pumas were so terrible.

Oh you poor wood snobs.
I must admit that it is a little hungry, 10 shots per 12 gram. But the three I had all worked well and shot very acurate. For some reason they didn't like C/A and I trashed one with a C/A conversion. Sent another to "Pegleg" for his wall and still have my first. True they were not a finely crafted machine but they were far better than any piece of garbage Brass Chicken ever put out on their best days.
p.s. Basbas, aluminum usually doesn't rust that much

The Puma I had (long since eBay'ed) oxidized into nothingness... The barrel bore changed every year I had it! It started out shooting marbs with a tight fit, and by the end of my 4-year ownership period I could only shoot cheap Evil.

maybe I'd better try shooting mine again.

What does the inside of your barrel look like? If it's shiny your set, if it looks like it's full of spiderwebs, you're screwed :P Stock up on 12ies if you're gonna shoot it, too.... These badboys eat them by the case. I used to make bets with myself about which would run out first; the 12g or the 10rd tube.

They really want to win the auction, so they are trying to keep potential bids low by making it seem like a worthless item.

Pretty sneaky.

(just kidding. Its a GREAT collectable, but a poor shooter).
