| well ive had a couple cockers so far and hte thing i hate about them the most is trying to clean them... my gun has been shot in hte fron pnematics, and its been sucha pain to clean, ive used toothpicks, papertowel and even had to take the whole thing apart just to clean it, and i dispise doing this after avery day i play. im thinking of getting a coke can or something and bendingand cutting it into a shape to cover my front pneumatics so i just have to wipe off the cover and not clean the hoses and such. any advice on doing htis, has anyone else done this before? i know to put holes in the can to allow the pneumatics to work normally. i dont car ehow ugly it looks.. |

well depends on how crafty yo u are.. do you have the skills to make stuff? only reason i ask is cause u can make ur own ghetto vaccume forming setup very easily and it will look better/work better and be much more long lasting than any pepsi can or whatnot. do a google search on homemade vaccume forming.. u'll find what u need.
otherwise, i guess u could use a can... u can also grab some abs pipe and heat ir with a torch to bend it and whatnot, make some custom mounts and ghetto rig it to ur gun..
in all tho look into that vaccume forming info.. its pretty easy to do. a lot of guys use it for rc cars and stuff.. hope this helped |

They make a cover to protect the front pneumatics on your autococker. -------------

2004 was the first year that A/Cs didn't come with shrouds from the factory.

That's about the size they have to be unfortunately. If you use a standard sized LPR and ram, it can't be any shorter, the width has to be as wide as it is to allow it to fit around and clip on to the front block. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

They made like a cloth one I think. Maybe something like "circle"(?), or System X made them. I saw them somewhere a while ago, when I wanted a cocker. Try orderpaintball.com, they might have them. Or Doro. I dont even know if Doro is still around, I havent checked on paintball sale sites in a while. -------------

pneum. cover or one of those dental "jet brush" things filled with 50/50 alcohol and water although simply using cotton swabs works nicely too for the patient people ------------- Xbl:PhantomReign97

Original A/C shrouds are neopreme. Only in '00 did they change to hard plastic. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |
