Interesting.

AKA the "Rubber band cocker".
It was the first Nelson-conversion kit, before the WGP, and Chameleon kits.

They were released Jan of 1992, the same time WGP Autocockers were released. I actually saw Trojans before I saw Cockers. Maybe Bud Orr actually copied REBLINE, and not PALMER?

Some local teammates bought them. They attached to the site rail. They worked similar to other autococking guns, except had a spring-return ram, instead of a dual-acting ram. Instead of a spring, it used rubber bands.

These kits required lots of tinkering, and never worked right for my teammates. Rebline said they were working on a fully pneumatic upgraded version, but my mid 1992, Rebline was financially in trouble and "LEFT TOWN" as they say. With Rebline gone, so did the kits.

The upgraded versions never made it out of prototype stage, but someone here bought up a huge stockpiles years ago, and those have made it onto ebay as well.

From the auction description....
"I have had this kit for 15 years or so, and never attempeted to put it on anything."

Translation "I set my time machine to go back 15 years and haven't had time to put this on anything since I've gotten back".

Dale's got all the coolest stuff!

I owned one sold it to rob, it was cool,so i plced a bid now to win find a Reb and tinker away.

They are also supposed to work on LineSI guns as well.

The old advertisements claimed that the Trojans were designed by a group of LineSI and Rebline engineers, working together.

I remember thinking that was odd, 15 years ago, because the Rebline pump ads slammed LineSI for being overpriced and featureless.

But considering how it hooks up, it will probobly work with any pump that has a sightrail. Pretty cool

ooohhhh, I want. I have a secound gen, but would like a first gen for my little collection, especially with the manual. Ron asp sold 1 complete and two partial kits a few years ago that I picked up. I have the complete one, and sold the two incompletes.

I had mine on an SI but the trigger thigy dug into my trigger finger too much, painful to shoot.
