My Sniper 2 has finally been found so I thought I would share some pictures.

It is almost as standard when I brought it 2nd hand from CMOT (if any one can remember them :)) all those years ago.

The bottom ASA was removed from the stock and the remote line was connected to the vertical ASA. The slam fire trigger was fitted when i brought it.







I think I will have to get an o-ring kit and see if it still works.

Actually from memory, the stock is correctly fitted but has been cut so the 'anti-thumb' could be fitted at the rear of the marker.

Most people think these are fitted to cockers to prevent the back block from hitting you in the face but in the past, when the marker was cocked, you could use your thumb and push on the rear cocking stem and increase the FPS, cheeky ;)

Mmmmm... There is a name CMOT stands for cut my own throat. I was speaking to Jim Preston only yesterday
Hiya Ben, yes I still remember asking him what it stood for. He used to have a shop in Knebworth and a site in Watton at Stone which was only a few miles from where I used to live. It was great to have a site only 5 minutes away. If I remember he also used to own a site in the Reading area nd his old team the Black Pistols!!

How is Jim doing?

Regards

Jim is doing well, very nice girlfriend and a daughter ( nearly two years old) . One site at Watton, one at hook ( hants) and one by Luton airport. He gave up paintball about 15 years ago. Black Pistols l.o.l. Still in regular contact will them all. What team did you play for?

I used to play down at Watton at Stone a few times a month with my best mate. We did marshall for him a few times and we did have a few games for black pistols at a tourney all I remember was I used my sniper and they were using hay bales as bunkers and I didnt do very well :). (Much like now before anyone else makes any comment...;))
