   Judging by the condition of the 68-Special, it was either gently used or not at all.  I put my Pro/Am through all kinds of crap.  The worst was when it went into hiatus at my buddy's house.  Thought it was being stored in his gun closet.  Unbeknownst to me, it was moved to his dank basement for 2 years where it rusted almost solid.  Got it back, broke it down and sanded all the rust off the rear bolt and as much as I could off the trigger.  It shot, but no faster than 160fps.  Broke it down and cleaned everything again and put oil in the ASA again fired a bunch of shots, and changed out the winter spring, but still couldn't get it close to 200fps.  Sent her in to Tippmann.  They had to modify it slightly to slap in a set of ProLite internals and now it shoots like a champ again.
