cocker Questions

If you don't know much about markers, i wouldn't suggest getting a cocker, I know the tubbing in the front makes them look bad a$$, but really, just stick something that is easier for a beginner to learn how electro's work. (dye, Timmy, ego, or SP, would be my suggestions)

Don't go for a black magic its a lower end cocker that has been quasi half-blocked and is not very amazing in comparision to a 05 superstock. the reason why they charge so much is because the work needed to half-block one is quite hard to do. And if you get a different one you can have it half blocked and converted to a turtle 'cocker or a racegun one.

I didn't say they were shoddy! I just said that the halfblock makes up the bulk of its cost and that there are some better options . huge dif!

well Im just starting to look into cockers. I got a upped ion right now, and I love it. I am mec inclined, so I know I would not try to mess with its timing without reading about it first. then I would talk to someone that knows how to do it properly. I have a guy that is trying to sell me a prostock to me for about $100 IDK if its electro or mec. there is a "2k2 cocker" down at my local shop for $200 obo. its electric & has eyes, NO barrel, stock bolt. I know I would not pay $200 for it. maybe $125-150
how much is a turtled/half blocked E cocker go for? and I will not buy one if it doesnt have eyes in it. Im looking to spend about $150 at the most.
connmann- where does IONs fit into you sig?

also if you get a gemini kit from gforce you won't really need eyes. just an idea...




as for elves = mags
and ions = throw me some ideas

    Also I only say cockers are run by leprechauns because my friends cocker (that i often end up timing) shoots great whenever i hold it and since i'm irish they're obviously leprechauns in cockers too partying with the gnomes.

Oh no no no my friend, elves definitely aren't what make mags work... First off, mags don't work, and when, on certain occasions they half-work, it's done by fairies, definitely fairies......

i am a cocker owner, builder, and lover

if you want an e-cocker, i would trust WGP to drill the holes for eyes a little more than the local shop, but thats me (summing up, buy it new with the e-blade if you want it)

and as for the "fear" of owning a cocker because you dont know how it works...how do you think cocker owners learn how they work (hate to break it to you, its not gnomes), you get one and learn by experience, its not all that complicated

just dont start with one of those trilogys and expect to spend more than a couple hundred bucks
