My current possesions

Not really enough to justify a collection, but here are the three markers I currently own - which is pretty much changing all the time.  All of these guys have been acquired since the beginning of the year.











First, the 98 Custom:
- Older "push-sear" model
- Did all the "milling" (front grip, lettering, velocity lip, filled in warning lettering)
- Automotive paint (primed, painted, and clear-coated.  Really need to be re-done, some is peeling etc. due to me not bothering to fill in screw/nut holes - lesson learned)
- Dye grips, sealed bolt system, polished internals (including hammer, trigger pins, the whole deal), macro, CP .689 one piece barrel, WGP drop forward
Anyways, this thing is my backup and workhorse.  My first marker was a 98, and I like having one back in the stable.  Its set up nicely to be used whenever I need it or just want to use it.   Depending how things go, I would like to eventually throw a Palmers Stabilizer on it, but its just fine for the time being.  I use HPA anyhow.  Other than that, I'll be keeping this one mech and it won't be changing much at all in the future.

Second, the dust silver Evil Pimp:
This one came to me completely broken, and I restored and repaired the entire thing.  Fixed all the leaks, stripped screws, missing screws. got a newer ram and bolt, and got the whole thing set up and working once more.  It rips, but I really just don't care for it all that much.  I'll probably be getting rid of it very soon.

Third, the gloss black Angel IR3 C+C:
This one is my most recent purchase.  I just finished tearing it down, cleaning it and setting it up.  I'll be keeping this one for some time, but may get rid of it down the road.  It shoots beautifully and works great, all for less than $160 said and done .

I wanted a PIMP kit once. But then I heard they were just a load of problems so I gave up on that dream and picked myself up an Evil Minion instead.

eeew, 90 degree frame

Nice little collection you have there. I want to build one up so bad, but I don't play enough to justify it.

nice

I'm always buying and selling.  I've had many markers, but they're always being moved about.

Still haven't owned anything near your amount though.

And the IR3 was something I purchased from Badluckcharm on Angel Owner's.  Got it for $114 after shipping, all it needed was a battery that could hold a charge and an ASA / macro set up.  I like it a lot.  Not much different performance-wise than my A4 Fly I had.  God, I wish I never sold that...

Also bought an older J&J Edge barrel kit for the IR3, got it for $20 or $30.  Old Angel stuff goes cheap, and they're still great markers.

Its still the only gun ive used that NEVER once needed to be maintained, never leaked, never gave me any problems. as for difference, i found the g7 to be leagues above the ir3, I had an ir3 and wasn't very pleased with the performance

For a gun just under 10 years ago, I think the IR3 is great.  It really can't be all that different from the newer Angels.  If anything, I'd just be less efficient and have more kick.  The biggest difference in the Angel platforms are that as time goes on, their reciprocating mass decreases.  That, and they created more volume for air within the bodies.

You brought up another thing I love about Angels.  Their so easy to set up, and are near impossible to screw up unless the user really messes something up.  They're easily some of the most reliable EP's I've ever used.

Also, once I get rid of the Pimp and some other stuff, I think I'm gonna go for either a 5peed or a G7.  Not sure.
