Get a used electro.
There are TONS to be had, and at great prices, from what I have seen.
PM me what exactly you want, and will keep an eye out for you.

e-cocker, take it anywhere.....anyone can buy a 'trix or timmy, and there's nothing wrong with them, but with a cocker you can always go out to the rec field and no-one's gun will be just like yours if you do it yourself,

i just appreciate the sexy mechanical workings of the autococker

Whichever way you go, I would definitely recommend buying used.  The markdown on excellent speedball guns being sold buy agg guys after just a single season of use is remarkable.  Matrix, Angel, Timmy - whatever you want.  Why pay 300 for a new Ion when you can get a barely used Matrix for the same price?

Just make sure to buy safely.

I bought a used Ion very early this year.  After disassembling several times for cleaning, etc., I'm not that intimidated (no pun intended) anymore.  It is going to be my winter project now.  I'll up the internals as much as possible but keeping the exterior look as stock as possible.  Going for the 'Wolf-In-Sheep's-Clothing' look.  Heheheh...

The grinding/filing/cutting shouldnt be too difficult for you based on the work you've already shown us. Care to elaborate on the parts you need, or would that give away the <???>? It looks/sounds like a badass project and I think you should continue it rather than put it on the back burner.

I've reached a problem. There are some parts I need to get, and some more grinding/filing/cutting I need to do.

Tallen, I think SP gave up on bricks 2 years ago! Heh...

Also, those old 'Trixes are pretty nice. I've always liked them. The build is getting depressing. All the people that have promised parts, you'd be the only one to deliver! It's a good thing you're a nice guy.

Also, I think I may just pour my cash into my 98 project for a while.

Really? You like bricks that much? You, my friend, should become a stone mason!

The experience and ease of care I've experienced with my 'new' Dye LCD makes me say, go used high-end. The ion was built to be a mid-level marker from start to finish, you can get better construction for the same money if you buy used and smart. BTW, I'm sending out those parts Tuesday for your cocker build.
