My first Autococker

Well, I finally broke down and bought an autococker. It's not technically my first one, but it's the first one I've bought for myself. Not just any autococker. One I've wanted since they were released a few years ago...

A Dye Ultralight!

With all original parts!







It is in fact drilled for eyes, the previous owner put an e-blade on it. I plan on keeping it mech, maybe even throwing on a pump kit later on.

I paid $250.00, a fair price in my opinion. All I have to do is attach the macroline fittings and time the 3-way (which I haven't done by myself in a looong time so if anyone knows a good walk through I'd appreciate it). I'm pretty excited, I always love the way the Reflex and Ultralight looked. I should just make a hobby of collecting rare markers, I seem to find them all the time.

Should be getting shipped today from NY, so probably 2-3 days before I get it. I'll post more pics when I get everything set up.

UPDATE:

I finally got it working, taking it out to shoot after work.

In the mean time, new pics! Now with Stiffi Barrel and CP Reg. Enjoy!

Negative, no eBlade, but it's a backup for my STDM5 so I'm well endowed in the electro department.

I like it.

Very nice! Welcome to the Revolution! Viva la Revolucion!!!!

DeTrevni is still trying to convince me to let go of my one-of-one BM. Be careful, he may try to wrest that DYE from you.

 Whats so good about the autocockers? I just sold one that was missing a barrel/regulator and asa for $64.00 on ebay.  I bought it with two other guns and it seemed like it would have cost to much to put back together so I sold it. Am I missing something?

for $100 more you could have had a very nice cocker.

Autocockers are just really fun to play with, shoot and tinker with. They are usually quiet, can be made pretty consistent, and are eerily accurate when set up right. I have 4 and I wouldn't get rid of them for anything.

One of these days, Tallen! She will be mine!

*sinister laugh*

Anyway, to be honest, I'm not a big fan of the Dye or Eclipse 'cockers. Just not my forte. That by no means implies I think you have an ugly marker, it just means you can keep it!

And 'cockers, to put it bluntly, ARE old and outdated. But there's a certain magic about them, combined with their ease of upgrading and smooth feel, that makes many people still love them. With an E-Blade, they can be just as fast as any other gun out there, and with milling, just as light.

too bad, you have no idea what you're talking about.
