I know your a cocker guy but if you're not experienced with the membrane switches on the SF frames the trick to keep those pads alive is to just use a quick, light touch to turn the marker on/off and select functions. If you push hard and hold it waiting for something to happen you'll kill it quickly. I just touch mine with my thumb for half a second or so and then wait for the boot up lights.

I wonder if that switch could be replaced with some sort of momentary switch that's not a membrane....Although it wouldn't have the LED's a more reliable switch would be a nice upgrade.

Thanks for the info. I am used to the E frames but not the Worr. I have some small momentary switches at home. I'll see if I can make any of them work. I will definately let yall know if it does. I'm good without LED's. I just want it to work.

Stock WGP bodied autocockers have always had very low value. Practically anything that came from WGP factory did. Karnivors and modern black magics did have some value I guess but still, not much.

Autocockers dont have alot of recoil, maybe when they are shooting full electro speed they do.

So the only classic style of cocker design their going to continue is the trilogies, or they changing those too? If they change the trilogy design then that means if you want a sniper then you have to buy an older cocker or a CCM.

Not true WGP isn't making a pump kit but they do exist.

Oh my god this kills me.

My guess is that with the introduction of the trilogy and pro stock models they all of a sudden became super affordable. Cockers were no longer elitist guns that they were of old. Thus less attractive. I love my old one with all its brass and clacking black block.

I have elected to rejoice in the low-cost-goodness that is the Autococker. Just received my ProStock from Action Village. $72 with 3-day shipping (that had Tacticals for $45, but were sold out). After a quick inspection and some liberal lubage, I powered it up and got 30 cycles from a single 12 gram. I'll probably run it off of my N2 bottle at the fields though.

The "marker" (I hate that term) came all timed and ready to go, even had a bit of vacuum.

Tomorrow my $13 Lighting arrives and will begin it's path toward pump conversion.

I love a good deal!
