Title: buying a new marker at castle...
Quickling - September 15, 2003 08:48 PM (GMT)
Well Im now looking for something a little different then my PGP and I wanna try/buy another pump at castle.
I have two questions.
1- Do you think there will be new in box phantom VSCs there? And if so will do y'all think they will be more or less expensive then ordering them online (from say Punisher, who has one of the best prices I've found).
2- I am not 100% on wanting a phantom, Honestly I like the looks of a superstocker better but I like the removable barrel option of the phantom.
Does anyone have a stocker they are bringing? If so could we hook up and maybe I could try pumping the stocker a few times to get a feel of their pump stroke?
thanks :)
PS ther eis also a million other pumps like sterlings and carters that I wanna try too.. so maybe I will just have to run around asking everybody :wacko:

I can tell you that I have seen Action Markers loan out new Illusions at previous games. Leave your drivers license with them and give one a try!
Whether they are going to offer that at this game, I don't know. But it was a great way to try before you buy. I'll have one soon, just not in time for Castle.

There wil be many pumps for sale at fall castle, as well as semis and just about what ever your heart desires. SCP and Crash Landing will also have some things available, though im not sure of exactly what will be brought there . I wouild advise you you to get hold of Crash Stp, (or any other vender your interested in for that matter) as soon as possible when you get there, as these items will most likely sell out very fast..If every thing works as planned, the SCP tent is gonna be huge folks, you wont be able to miss it..But even if the big top doenst work, there will still be a a good sized "smaller" tent there as our back up..
But the earlier you get there, the better chance youll have of getting hold of your dream machine :D

That would be great Matt. :) I don't really want to play with any of these guns, just see how they balence and how smooth/hard their pump strokes are. I have only ever shot my PGP for a pump.. so I don't want to get something that I don't like the 'feel' of.
Will the tents be open for sales friday? or just on the day of play..?

I don't know who else might, but I will have my stuff setup on Friday. I won't have any complete guns with me for sale unless requested, but I will have my own gear available for display. So feel free to stop over and check it out. I think Crash might have some markers for sale there, you'd have to check with him.
Just remember, compared to a PGP (unless it's a new version) everything will feel smoother. Except the 2001 PGP's, they all had a very rigid pump stroke due to the retaining balls in the bolt. The newer ones had the speed-demon setup that helped that a lot. The speed-demon bolt is the one that kinda splits when you are pulling it back.
