I just bought an F8, and I love it so far.  There is a leak in the one fitting on the RAPS, but thats an easy fix.

It came with some stock stuff, eigenram, RAPS, magnetic trigger mod(not a big fan), and a 68/4500 tank for $370 shipped/PPd.  I love the silver accents over the red.  He had to trade for them.

I also have a CP 2 piece that will probably go on it for the game tomorrow.  But, I hate my camera so here are the other guy's pics.

I love it, and it actually made it to me yesterday, which was a pleasent surprise because I play tomorrow.

Enjoy!

Wow, not good.  The bolt is sticking forward every shot, and only returns at the next pull.  Or, it comes back very delayed.

 

If its a solenoid problem... I will hunt down the seller.

Dangerous Power makes very very beautiful guns...

but their reliability isnt so great .

I would say that Yes, that is a solenoid problem, they have issues with them after a few cases.

edit: something you can try doing is resetting the board if possible
edit II: also could try rebuilding the solenoid.
edit III: i'll give you $100 for the gun, NO SELLING ON THE FORUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All is well. The Reg was reducilously high.

D4- Go to the PbNation DP parts trading section. That's what the
previous guy did.

Ctof- It works great now. And Youre crazy, DP has great products and
backs them up with even better service.

Now the question is... Stock barrel that is nice, or a 2pc CP that is a
different black?

i never said the guns themselves were bad and im aware of their exelent customer service... but it seems to be the trend of the 80 or so DPs ive seen in use for the solenoids to go out after whatever number of cases for whatever reason.

I personally would love a Pink/Black or Gold/Black Threshold

WOW.  Im so pissssssssed.

My fire valve aka "poppit" snapped in half, and wedged itself into the ram side of the guns cylinder, and stayed there.  It dented the inside.....

I AM PISSED.

 

But hey, the 6 games I played, I fell in love with it...

Time to call DP and see their great service.  And, I did get pictures when I was playing, but I got great pictures of other people when the F8 went down.

Oh, and CP 2pc=GREATNESS with the paint I use.  I even used just the barrel as a blowgun for a little bit.

I read something about older fusions having that problem I think... I believe you can flip the valve the other way or something like that once you get a new one to help prevent it. Hopefully you'll get everything fixed quickly though

Yeah, I called them.  They figured since it was the very first black made (001) its out of warrenty.  So its $25 + parts.  Im talking to one of them on PbN though, hopefully he can help me.
