New here.. not so new to Paintball

[Dave427]

Hi,
After a 9 year break, i am getting the Paintball bug again !

I have played woods-ball, a few games of competition paintball and love both. I have plans to play as much as finances allow this year, but i have an increasing amount of costly hobbies.
My marker collection mainly includes models older than some of the members on here, including:

Sterling pump
Bud Orr Cocker
Automag L7
Eclipse Impulse
PM5

Now these markers ave seen the light of day, i hope to add to my collection and use them. I have a particular interest in all pump markers,
Cheers,
Dave

Welcome Dave i had a 8year break so most of my kits similar to yours.. couple of old cockers an automag an old A5 and some kind of spider thinggy cant remember the model name.
The guys on hear are sound lads and ladys . if you check out the pump zone they are a good bunch.

welcome to the forum, where abouts do you play?

 

[Dave427]

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I am based in Lincolnshire and have played at most sites in Lincs, Cambs and a few in Norfolk.

I forgot, i owned a flat line A5 and a Speedster,
My Cocker was apparently a pump version that was converted into a semi, back in the days when semi's were new.
I hope to return it to a pump in the future, as well as turning my Automag into a pump. However i don't know whether that is even possible. I will check the pump forum out and hope they can advise further.

It is possible and has been done to mags, i myself have never done one nor played with one as a pump. Apparently they are very smooth operating, ask on the pump part of the forum I am sure gee tee on here has done a pumpmag, he is a very nice bloke and very helpful and knowledgeable about that sort of thing.

Maybe this will help you bud

I am just getting into it again after a big time out. Where abouts are you based?

Based in Boston, Lincs.
I hope to be up and running as soon as my bottles are re-tested, so i am going to try a new paintball site. New to me anyway.
