Bob Long GZ Timmy

[vmaxnick]

I've got an old red to black fade GZ Timmy in my kit bag as a last ditch loaner.
It gets used a couple of times per year and hasn't even had to have the battery changed since I got it. (And, yes it works!) it has a Bob Long, Long shot barrel. I suspect the eye is faulty as, although it would pass an eye test manually, it would not shoot fast with the eye switched on so I switched it off. With a fast loader on, it rips and seldom if ever breaks paint.
Can anyone give me an idea what this bad boy is worth as I would like to see it in the hands of someone who will give it the respect it deserves.

If you need to see it, I will post up a pic but as I am not looking to sell it on this thread, just an idea of price will be good.

A GZ will grab you around £100-$150 at a guess.

It will blow the **** outa shockers and ions ect, but it is one of the older models so unless upped to hell and loved by someone who knows what theyre doing id say thats around ure best bet.

I think it has a delron bolt (White PTFE looking plasticy doohicky)
That's about it for obvious up's

Well lots of ups im on about. New trigger, replaced feedneck, aftermarket or latest software board, upgraded barrel, working eyes as big ups, then the smaller upgrades such as better detents, adjustable ram cap ect Now although a timmy will work flawlessly without ups, these are what help to hold their value up.

heres some info on the gen2's

The Second Generation is also known by many as the 2K2 line as they were released in 2002 and had a widely popular 2K2 model. I’m also including the GZ’s in this model as their internals and overall design fits better here than with the Classics.

Bob took some time after designing the Classic to improve upon his initial model. He got rid of the dual regs (and added a torpedo, High Pressure, regulator), shortened the grip frame into the popular clamshell grip (or the 45 in the case of the GZ). He also continued his improvements in milling and put out some intricately milled pieces of art (props to Ripper Machinist for many of these designs). Another redesign from the classics is the change in the bodies eliminating the need for the decoration block. These markers came with Humphrey’s solenoids which is a departure from the Skinner noids in the classics. The Humphrey’s noids operate at a stock dwell of 8ms as opposed to 16 for the Skinner noids.

He redesigned the trigger and guard a bit and included delrin bolts to make for smoother firing. Bob also corrected some problems later in this generation that were apparent with the early GZ and 2K2 releases…namely the need for a clamping feedneck and a better board than the Semi-Only Board (which came stock in many early markers of this generation.) The Dragons and 2K2’s in particular came with a high rise, non-clamping feedneck. The early 2K2’s (including most of the dust fades) came stock with SOB’s.

The real improvement in this series is the incorporation of Wicked Air Sports Equalizer boards. The WAS boards were widely popular and sought after as an aftermarket addition. At the time WAS boards were leaps and bounds ahead of the SFB and SOB’s. Bob just added in what the customers were already using. Towards the end of this generation in 2004, Bob started incorporating his Frenzy Boards into the 2K2 model intimidators. This happened after a falling out with Jim Drew. Internally, this generation of markers was almost identical to the Classics, utilizing a ram/poppet design. With additional trigger and switch adjustments coupled with more sensitive boards/electronics, the 2K2 generation was a HUGE hit and these markers were sold from 2002 until 2004 with an overlap of sales into the 3rd Generation of Markers. Quite a few of the top teams in paintball used Bob Long markers.

I'd also be interested in this - looking for something to tinker with and learn my way around timmies as we're looking to open a shop later in the year and the UK could do with a Bob long specialist! Man above me gets refusal of course (but he's a bit greedy wanting three all to himself )

If you just want to tinker around for practice why not get a spyder.

After all, what is a spyder if not a well built timmy

 

[scoobytgi]

Got a few already john - wanna make a spimmy! Well, actually I just want a timmy, then I'll find a broken one to turn spimmy
