My bad as its been over 20 years ago. Knew i had an old shoulder patch I never used & dug it out.
Ah Mcarterbrown .. was active there for quite a few years ! PGPOG was "PGP Owners Group"

GO back and get them ALL" leakers and all"i sold the old Sheridan paint ball on e-bay for $150 on e bay and did,nt even work"

I never seen a few of those. Thanks for sharing.

The Meteor MKIII looked to be in good shape as well. Missing the rear sight though

This is what I fear... The guns and equipment that I take extreme good care of today will be full of scratches and in the bargain bin years after I'm gone.

It actually I ahd it I believe, I may come back for it.

Right now trying to fix the trapmaster (difficult) and just trying to check all the seals and the co2 punchers).

So far this thing was kept in good condition! I unfortunately lost the safety which is needed for the sear to engage and fire the thing, so gonna have to see if i can find it somewhere in my room, or buy a replacement

The MKIIIs are nice. If it has the sight you could flip it. Buffer seal on the piston is probably toast so I wouldn't fire it if your goin to sell.

Nice finds overall. I think Rick at Precision Pellet has all the stuff for the Trapmaster to reseal. Good luck with your haul.

Reduce Reuse Recycle.
Those are among my three favorites. EVERYTHING was built better 20+ years ago, digital electronics the sole exception. My home heating system came from Habitat saved me 6 K over a new system, used system removed due to being undersize, I yr. of use. In many cases I PREFER to get a used item and "rehab" it versus buying new. One 1/4 the cost and my rehabbed product will be of higher quality than a "new" one. My Makita orbital sander 20 bucks and ten for a new pad for it, total 30 bucks. A new one is a hundred bucks plus. Look at the cars they are making today 200 HP 4 cylinder engines, if you think that engine will run for even 100 thousand, I have this bridge.... They designed that engine life to just exceed the manufacturer's warranty.

Ricklin, I prefer the old Ford trucks, 50s, 60s, in six cylinder. More torque and I'm too old for speed. But my Ford four door sedan has a medium size engine and turbo. And I shoot PCPs as well as springers. Be Well, dito.

I am a fan of older equipment. When it comes to outboard motors, 80's and up...I'm not nuts, but as long as it is quality and has electronic ignition salt water damage is about the only disqualifier. The manufacturer's are pulling maximum power from minimum displacement in today's cars. That does not bode well for those of us that keep our cars and trucks for decades. The longevity is designed to only slightly exceed the warranty.

I picked up this old, 1950's outboard airboat engine up at the swap meet a few weeks ago.
Rebuilt the carb, cleaned the points, and she runs great.
It could use a new prop, but I believe Ive got it sold already!

I remember those old paintball guns. Sheridans were high end. I had a Splatmaster and it was an excellent example of quality not always being better back in the day, but it was what a high school kid in the 80s could afford.

That is just to COOOOL" put that on the back of my 12' pram.
