Help identifying a marker.

Can anyone please tell me the make/model of this marker ?


Also, crucially is it still possible to get parts for them?
I bought 7 of these a number of years ago for use on my own field with some mates and they really have been excellent, at least 'excellent' for our simple needs. However, this particular marker refuses to re-cock after firing. You can cock it manually at it will fire perfectly. Upon inspection I noticed there is some wear on the part of the marker that actually slides back over the trigger to actually cock. Sorry, I dont know the technical names of these parts. Looking at diagrams for other markers I believe the part is called the striker. Thanks in advance.

There were a number of guns built to that pattern, TFX200, Venom etc etc. They were notorious for being a bit "value" but still shot ok. The part you're describing sounds like the hammer/striker- the trigger lever (sear) engages with a groove in the bottom of the hammer and if either becomes worn then the sear will catch the hammer when cocked manually but not during the faster blowback cycle. Parts will be a bit of a problem as no one has made anything like this for a while, but JCS leisure at Elsham used to run a few as site guns so you might try giving them a call, prob best to look for Atmosphere paintball as they are now. If not then I'm afraid screwed are you.
 
Thanks for the information guys. A quick search on Google suggests that it almost certainly a TFX2000 (or a copy of).

I'll try giving those guys a ring 'olly', ta very much.


If not then I guess I'll have to be satisfied with 3 years service for £30-00. ;)

Cheers

If you can send one of the less worn ones to take measurements from I could make replacements if you can't get hold of them anywhere else.
