Personal preference PMR 08 - different people like different guns!hey guys. desperate for help... which one should I buy. etek 1 is £20 more expensive...
The pmr 08 is a very fast gun but it can suffer leaks alot due to the immense amount of O-rings it needs, but when it works, it is a very nice marker indeed.
It is also very hungry on the air.
The etek is more efficient and very well built and very easy to maintain.

Ultimately - personal preference.
Spools (PMR) are generally quieter but less efficient (air). Also generally require a bit more maintenance - but it's not that hard!
Poppets (Etek) are louder and more air efficient. Very easy to maintain - bolt can be cleaned and re-lubed in well under a minute. That said, bolt/rammer maintenance on the Etek or Bolt maintenance on the PMR are both really easy. Also, I found the LPR maintenance on the Etek/Ego's easier than on the PM/DM series.
Either way - both are good, reliable markers and should be good buys (if they've been looked after).

~Both good markers - personally, I'd opt for the Etek, as I prefer a poppet myself and it may be slightly easier to maintain (although PMRs are easy enough too...)
