 Topic: $50 IonPosted: 28 March 2007 at 8:20pm |

OK, I have a friend who has this friend who got this ion from a friend. Somehow I ended up with it because it didn't work. This ion was so trashed I almost tossed it. Then I got to thinkin how cheap I could get this gun up and running. I told me friend I could do it with $65, he didn't believe me. So to prove him wrong, this is what I did. Stock ion reg w/ reg grip-$13 Stock ion board-$32 Green dye sticky grips-$5 new eyes w/ wiring harness-$7 Stock ion barrel-$0(e-mailed smart parts, they sent me one) 300psi gauge-$3.50 Stock ion trigger-$0(got it from my local store) Total money invested-$63.50 Heres some pics anyway...

For $65, you really cant beat it. Looks good considering the circumstances. Should make a nice loaner and/or primary gun(if you're going to invest in it).

Ya, i'm gonna be picking up an ion here pretty soon for around $75 maybe a little less. Only things needed are reg and a gauge. But thats a great deal you got.

Nice! Not only was it probably a fun project, but you now know your marker inside and out better than most guys who just buy one online.

Actually it was all legal. I also received B2K w/ PDS, but theres no way I can even fix it for less than I can buy a new one. The insides are totally ripped out and needs other minor things.

The ion I rebuilt works like a charm. Flawless and feels solid.
