There's something really cool about taking an aftermarket paintball gun part out of it's original packaging, when it's been in there since you were 2 years old. A box arrived today containing a "Moment Loading ramp" for a Nelson 007. They were made by a company called K.V.A., which has probably gone out of business long ago, to replace the bolt through the feed tube on the 007 to hold balls above the bolt.
I got it from a gentleman on the Pump forum at pbnation (thanks Steve) for an old 007 I'm in the process of restoring. He sent it to me free of charge, still in its original plastic packaging unopened.
In conclusion... Old school stuff is very cool. I can't wait until my first elimination with this thing come fall.
P.S. Does anyone know where I can get a new white piercing seal for a 007 ? Most places I look sell it in the little metal dish that you put in with a screwdriver, but a 007 has it's own piercing fitting. Any hints would be most appriciated.
P.P.S. Any info on accquiring other parts would be cool too. This thing is bone stock right now, and was in pretty rough shape when I got it. Any plastic bits like the caps for the top (feed) tube are gone. I've taken most of the rust off. I'd like to put on something like a speed wheel to make changing 12 grams quicker. Some info about the pump kit would be cool too. Is it something I can take off to change it back to bolt action, or does it require permanent modification ? I'd like to be able to keep it bolt style (I'll be machining a new longer bolt handle for it at some point) just for the retro factor, so I won't get a pump kit if it's not reversible. If it is, then I'll try and find one so I can play with it more often without wearing my fingers to a nubbin.

hehehe, I remember those things . . . I also remember being too cheap and doing the old cut down paint tube trick to replace that cursed cross bolt in the top tube of the Nel-Spot.
as for the white puncture pin seal - good luck. I have had no real luck finding replacements either.
All the pumps I know of for Nel-Spots require no mods to use. I've got a Wild Willy's slotted pump that works like a champ - actually cams the bolt knob up and down during the pump throw.
Well I can get you seals if you need ... also have an original brown pump too. Pumps are usually held on with the original bolt knob . At first we use to make them out of PVC, then someone came out with a black ribed one that seems to be the one to have now. Get your self a 10g shot gun bore brush in bronze to take care on any internal rust .
PS
I may have one up for sale soon my, under cover 007 looks like it needs paint but the interior and internas rock on special springs (softer than yellow ones ) and it has a rear QC ,and the elusive battle grips .
