2005 Racegun Halfblock

Ok, for a while I started the list with the zebra Westwood, but I think perhaps this was the marker to drop it down a notch.  A 1 of 3 camo anno’d Racegun halfblock.  Maybe not a rare as the Westwood, but an uber sweet marker that shot better than anything else I owned for years. 

I was surprised when I got this just how much milling is on the body.  This thing is seriously light!  And it is one of the few half blocks that doesn’t have the sled touching the body.  The other thing I like about this is the SM1 barrel kit.  I think it is really slick how they did a dust/polish spiral on the barrel. 

Definitely the near the tops of my collection so far with respect to playability and sheer speed.  As for specs, it has dual nylon détentes, a delrin bolt, clamping feed neck, CCM ram, Palmers micro rock, and Gladiator reg.  Racegun really did a good job with attention to detail on these things, everything goes together like a champ.  The only things I’ve added were a black CP on/off, and a black QEV/TRV combo on the ram.  I spent years tuning the settings as well, but it ran the latest ramping software. 

I did, btw, put an MQ valve in here for a little while, but I heard of people breaking their half block pump arms and such and so I took it out (though I suspect those issues were only loosely related to the MQ).  It works great in “mech” mode so why complicate it and risk breaking parts?
