So I want another Spyder. AV has factory refurbished 2K3 Imagines on sale. I want to waste my money on one, as it was my first Spyder, and the first gun I did naughty things to (involving spray paint and a file).

Talk me out of it.

K GO!

It's a Spyder.  How much more incentive not to buy do you need?

You could donate the money to charity.

I owned an Imagine, and honestly the overall quality was horrendous. I think I paid around $110 for it (my first gun!!!!!), and I almost immediately bought a mechanical Spyder, because the quality of parts and design meant that it chopped constantly.

If I were you, I'd build something from the ground up; the Imagine body is fine, but other than that, there's no way you're going to get a usable marker out of it.

I disagree. The Ver-C T-Board kit, with lighter microswitch and eye is only about $80 for it all. Throw in some delrin internals, drop the operating pressure, and you have a very nice blowback off the Imagine platform.

Though I am thinking about getting an FBM body, but I'm not hearing good things about FBM right now...

aren't you supposed to be working on your osiris? and if not that, weren't you telling us you were doing something with your new G1?

And on top of all that, I'm working on a Rainmaker, KP-3, Raptor, Pro Carbine and SL-68 II. Oh, and my old Stingray II. Oh yeah, and I've got an E-Bolt project.

And I just bought a PGP.

Haha, now we can have PGP wars if/when I ever come down to Texas . I'm sure my purchase didn't help your saving money cause any.

Just say no to an Imagine, you have two things needing Palmerizing!

And that being said, I think I'm going to go and try to make my BE Avenger (Spyder clone) into a pistol.







*Sigh*

Hah. Yeah. First comes a Sergison K-Frame. Then comes Palmerizing. I'd like to get it stroked, but God that's expensive...

Yeah, K-Frames are so friggen' cool. Shame I could have 2 or 3 PGP's for the price of one single K-Frame. I only think I could justify Palmerizing if I fall in love with the gun, which I'm kinda hoping I won't because I might as well just light all my money on fire if I do...

Its absurd how much of a money pit a little brass pump pistol can be. That being said, I think thats where the rest of my money for this summer is heading.

Confession time. I've been wanting a PGP for the sole purpose of K-Framing it. :)

Okay. PGP shoots great, K-Frame is beautiful, and I've got more money to spend. Once again, Kingman is calling me. Those Raven Primals are also nice, and those are EP.

Well, kind of.

They're FASOR, but still. They're only $150 shipped...
