"At any time" is a bit of an overstatement.  None of those conversions are something you can to quickly, but they can all be done.

But they all require different components and upgrades, so you probably want to choose is your gun will be mech or electro (or pump) before starting major upgrades, so you don't have to waste time/money on the wrong upgrades.

Shortstroking just takes a little bit of practice to avoid.

Thanks Enos , I've been lurking in the autococker threads , hoping to pick up a few pointers , got a Prostock about a month ago ..

For Milsimballer , I took it out for a night of speedball , shot about a thousand rounds , feeding it with a Revvy , and chopped only one ball , I probably shortstroked it . Overall Not bad considering .

 I think the newer Prostocks (mechanical , but very upgrade-able as mentioned above ) are less likely to shortstroke . I was originally thinking about converting to pump (about $ 35.00 from WGP) , but will keep it semi for now , until I get used to it .

The aftermarket selection of accesories is staggering , so the only upgrade I am making for the time being , is 'Natch , a barrel with inserts to match locally available paint sizes , the stock barrel is around .691" (havent verified that yet , but paint keeps rolling out the end of my barrel when I point it downward  ) . .684" insert should arrive later this week .

i wouldn't recommend them though.  pump>mech>electro, as far as cockers go, imho...

...that wasn't supposed to rhyme.  seriusly.

I would imagine as fast as you can cycle the trigger .

My guess is that I was shooting , at times up to 6-8 BPS (more than a little out of practice here ) , the revvy will only reliably feed around 10 BPS at most . Thats pretty much straight out of the box .

Oh , wait a minute I added a Pretty barrel , Thats guaranteed to add 3BPS isnt it ?

im pretty sure hes just trying to get posts.  the ones you see for $100 are probly knock offs (not made by WGP).  some have more complex body styling, more high end parts, electro vs. mech, etc.

The Halo B wont fit unless you get a clamping feedneck , I had to shave down the Revvy to fit into the feedneck of the prostock . 

 No Biggie , but thought I'd pass that on .

Well that's just false.

Cockers absolutely have detents.

Jerseypaint is right.

There is a detent, but its purpose is just to keep the loader from double-feeding.  When the bolt closes it pushes the ball past the detent, into the barrel, just like with a pump.  The only thing keeping the ball from rolling out is the barrel itself, so it is important to have a good paint match with cockers (and pumps).

It is the main reason why cockers owners are more likely than other folk to use multiple barrels or kits.  Getting a good match is a good idea no matter what, but with cockers it is much more important.

If you always play the same place with the same paint it won't be a big deal - you just get a barrel that matches that paint.  If you play with different paints you will probably want a kit.

Clark Kent and Jerseypaint are correct , you "NEED" to have a good paint to barrel match with autocockers (any closed bolt marker really , this includes pumps ) as the ball is chambered it pushes it past the detent and into the barrel .

I didnt realize this initially and got an All american 2 piece .689" , luckily the tip also fits the freak back I got afterwards , so I've got 3 barrels now , and an assortment of inserts for the freak , live and learn  .
