So I started this 2240 build back in early 2000-2004 somewhere. I kept on adding new parts as they came along year after year. Like a nice DAQ real steel breech which I replaced 15 or so years later with an aluminum multi-shot by Custom Air Shop. One of Steve's wonderful adjustable sears made the trigger sweet. Some nice RB grips which are still on the gun near twenty years later. Then the need for speed came along so I put a tank on it and another barrel which I replaced many years later with an Impact STX barrel. As I got older I could barely see the paintballs I was shooting at at 50 and 60 yards with the old 4X scope so put a Discovery 3x12x44 compact on it. But that was only after I tried a Vector optics Veyron 3x12 FFP first that I did not like.
Lets remember though it took me twenty years to turn this $60 pistol into a $1005+ pistol.
So I failed to mention that it shoots like a near $1000 pistol as well.
I really had no idea of how much I had spent on this thing over the years. Quite the surprise!
Was it worth it? Sure it was so many hours of fun modding and tuning and shooting and...
Gun $60
Breech DAQ $80
Breech 10 shot $200
Scope $170
Tank and reg $120
FX Barrel $110
Drop forward $60
Grips $60
Sear $35
Fake co2 $40
Misc. $40
Carbon fiber $30
Total $1005
