Markers

    Here are the markers I own and use from time to time.  Occasionally, I lend them out to friends who show up at the field on game day.
 
  This was my very first marker, Pursuit Marketing's PGP.  As you can see, it looks nothing like the original PGP after all the modifications.  The top tube was removed to allow for direct feed with a 40rd Ammo Box, a sight rail was added, a 12" barrel extension was also added along with what looks like a suppressor.  Other things added: shoulder stock with tank mount (shown here with 10oz tank attached), Constant Air adapter, offset foregrip from Ruger 10/22 barrel shroud, and combat grips.

  This was my second marker, Pursuit Marketing's 68 Magnum.  This marker pretty much had it all right out of the box, but never one to be satisfied with factory equipment, I added the following: machined barrel extension w/shroud, offset KG-9 foregrip, molded wood grips, L-stock w/bottle holder, Cooper-T quick strip bolt, and auto-trigger attachment.

  This is National Survival Game's Splatmaster.  It was made for the people just getting into the game and on a limited budget.  Its construction is mainly plastic and polymers.  No modifications were made to this marker except a camouflage paint job. This marker is no longer functional, I think. Splatmaster (13082 bytes)
 
  This has to be the black sheep of my marker collection.  This is the Mk IV, manufacturer unknown.  Constructed mainly from polymers and ABS plastic, it featured a nylon barrel and 25rd reservoir and was powered by a single 12gram CO2 cartridge.  Like the Crosman below, I acquired this marker for its novelty, and added the following to it: vertical adaptor to accept higher capacity box loader, barrel adapter to add barrel extension, and Constant Air adapter.

  This is my Crosman 3357 Spotmaker.  It uses 50 caliber paintballs instead of the standard 68 caliber.  The 3357 is based on the Crosman 357 .177 pellet pistol.  I originally acquired this marker for its novelty.  This marker has found another home. Crosman 3357 (10035 bytes)
 
  This was my first semi-auto, a Tippmann SMG 68.  It was unique in the fact that it used a 15rd horizontal magazine, which could be loaded with three 5rd stripper clips.  This design later went on to become the Tippmann 68 Special.  There wasn't much to be done to improve on this marker. The only thing I added was a 16" barrel and an external velocity adjuster.  I have never had any problems with the SMG 68 except when it went full-auto whenever the air runs low. This marker has also found another home. Tippmann SMG-68 (10905 bytes)
 
  This is my Tippmann Pro/AM.  Slightly altered from the factory original.  Modications and accessories include: 13" BOA concealer barrel, powerfeed attachment, Indian Springs 200 loader (not shown), stainless steel cocking knob, lightened stainless steel rear bolt, rear velocity adjuster, trigger shoe, and vertical or two-bottle setup. This marker has also found another home. Tippmann Pro/AM (9718 bytes)
 
  This is my Tippmann 68 Carbine.  Not much in the way of major modifications or accessories.  However, it does include: 12" TASO Pro-Series barrel, APP D-Feed, VL-200 loader (not shown), ANS Phase II expansion chamber, TASO velocity adjuster, Venturi bolt, stainless steel cocking knob, lightened stainless steel rear bolt, Hogue 45 wood combat grips, and a machined-down trigger to accept a wider trigger shoe. This marker has also found another home. Tippmann 68 Carbine (11277 bytes)
 
  This is my other Tippmann 68 Carbine.  Modifications and accessories include: 14" DYE barrel, VL-Revolution loader (not shown), PMI 45 wood combat grips, APP two-finger trigger, APP D-Feed, ANS Phase II expansion chamber, diverter w/pressure gauge, TASO velocity adjuster, TASO raised sight rail, Venturi bolt, stainless steel cocking knob, lightened stainless steel rear bolt, drop-forward block, T-stock, and pressure regulator w/gauge.

  This is my Minimag from Airgun Designs.  As you can probably see, the marker isn't your typical factory marker.  Some of the aftermarket accessories and parts include: 18" DYE "Boomstick" barrel, VL- Revolution loader, Benchmark 45 grip frame, PMI 45 wood combat grips, Autococker two-finger trigger shoe, PMI Perfect Charger regulator body, ACI velocity adjuster w/lock, Tippmann bottomline, Gas-thru stock, PMI Perfect expansion chamber, Airgun Design sight rail, B-Square airgun-to-weaver scope base, Weaver Quik-Point 45mm dot-sight, ANS Venturi bolt, and ANS True-Flow valve.
