O lawd. Once again, I dun got maself mixed up in some bad comp'ny.  Sheridan/PMI KP-3, or the Piranha Rifle. Can you think of a more fun paintball gun? Though to be honest, it's not quite mine. I put down $300, and the guy selling it will hold it for me until I get the rest to him. I know the guy, so I trust him. It's as good as mine though, and I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY GRUBBY MITTS ON IT!  ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

That is one sweet paintball rifle. How much are you buying it from the guy for? The wood looks amazing. -------------

Grand total of $450. A list of guns I've always wanted that would go for a similar amount: - Newer Angels - Older Egos - DM of just about any year (other than 8) - Older Egos - Timmies - Various e-'cockers - Various rare 'cockers - A lot more I'm not thinking of... Yet I went with a marker that's almost as old as I am, made of brass and a pump. <3 ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

When I get the rest of the money in. The guy is local, so we're thinking about attending a local scenario in June. A bit of a distance off, but if I wanted it too terribly badly (which I do), I could just drive over and get it (which I might). ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

I still feel the sheridan rifles are way too over priced. But they are still pretty sweet. |

I have always loved the look of the sheridan rifle.

Of course they are. But as long as it stays overpriced, then I'm good! Heck, as it gets older, I may be able to profit off of my investment! But as of right now, I have NO plans for parting ways yet. I'm probably gonna send it over to Palmers, and have them bless it! ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

You should have used the money you spent on that to build your computer.

$450? So I am guessing that when I bought mine a few years back for 20 bucks, I got a very good deal? -------------

True. But I bought this before I had the idea to build the computer. I may be getting a job soon, so I'll have my nice comp yet. PS: I love the cluttered look. Makes it look "industrial." Edit: Hades, I hope you're kidding... If you're serious, that's like finding a genuine gold doubloon on the ground... ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

Luckily, I am not kidding. I bought it from a buddy that hadn't used it in over ten years.
Since he wasnt using it he sold it to me. I also picked up a Vm-68 off him for another 20 bucks. That one needs alot of work to get it all fixed up. The kp3 works great. I figured i would wait for the price to go up even higher before selling again, if I choose to. -------------

Wow. Lucky find, man. If it's in good condition, and complete, it could fetch probably what I'm paying. Of course, I'm getting some extras as well, so... Are you sure it's a KP-3? KP-2's fetch a bit more, and K-2's fetch a WHOLE lot more. KP-2's lower tube is about the same length as the top tube, and the majority are side-feed and stock class. K-2's are bolt-action. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

Neopets? Wow, it's been a while since I've heard that! I was thinking about sending this monster to Palmers to have them turn it into a Nasty Painter (2 barrels, anyone?) but $1,200 is just more than I've got... I'll still probably have them do a bit of work to it though. At first, I thought I wanted them to matte nickel coat it, but I think I'd rather them repowdercoat it to its original black. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"
