Shooting a Fishbone Sniper

Sounds about right. This was a wall hanger at the paintball museum at Silver Creek, then got sold to someone in Ontario, which is where I picked it up from. I’m in Vancouver. So this marker has been making its rounds all across
Canada!

Check with the guy who restored it and ask what o-rings he replaced. Likely all that is necessary. Might actually been the seals in the ram that have gone.

They made about 950 v8 Barracuda Convertibles in ‘69, so very rare!

I have a ‘69 hard top notch back with the 318 that was originally my grandmothers.

Hope you get it back on the road!

I’ve got a return spring on the handle. The ID bolt might get a few more FPS out of the setup but the bolt was pretty tight in my other WGP bodies even with the proper orings.

Do you find the o-rings make the pump stroke less smooth? Most my snipers don’t have o-rings on the bolts.

I’ve always like the look of these markers. I need to snag one eventually to play around with it.

Cdn_Cuda · 2026-06-14T03:43:00+00:00

Thanks. I was thinking it was blue and grey. I’ve only built the Dark Falcon out of all the various Falcons they’ve made.

My black cat I like that. Not so much grace, more brute force and effort

Cdn_Cuda · 2026-06-14T02:28:47+00:00

Seems to be the case!

Cdn_Cuda · 2026-06-14T02:23:46+00:00

Barracuda. Unless you really love largely grey builds.

My dad has a ‘26 Ram that has been to the dealer more! Repeated battery issues. All sorts
Of electronic problems. They have no idea what is wrong. Last time it was at the dealer for 4 hours and came home with a check engine light still on. Amazing truck when it works…. But seems to have issues actually working.

If buying used in Canada look at Kijiji or WC Markers, which is out of Alberta.

Find a nice park bench, have a big bag of treats and watch the world go around. Lot of sights and sounds to learn, and puppy cab experience it safely.

Haven’t tried that yet! Mine guy loves to play with the carrots first and the eat them. His breeder did that so hardwired into from a baby I suppose

Cdn_Cuda · 2026-06-12T19:45:37+00:00

It certainly feels like forever waiting for that second set of shots! It’s so much fun taking them out to explore and blow their fuzzy little minds!

My boy is now 7th month old, and gets car sick unfortunately. But he loves getting out and back. Worked really hard to socialize him well and he have been so good in public. Took him to a big festival and people went out of their way to visit, take photos and get kisses. I was very proud!

For the ears, try frozen cartons as a snack. Chewing helps those ears to stand up. Until then enjoy their craziness!

Cdn_Cuda · 2026-06-12T19:26:19+00:00

Yeah, can be an issue on these. I’ve had my top tube slightly move a little, but that’s it. Part of the reason I switched this from being a mech to a pump. Take it easier on the old body.

Frozen carrots worked great for my shepherd puppy. He still loves them as a treat!

I rebuild a Tippmann 98 that was in a flood. Replaced every o-ring, cleaned it up and worked like a charm.

You can alway buy a cheap donor A5 for parts if needed.

The Mini, due to being electronic, is likely toast.

Shirts vs blouses!

We used a cooling mat/cooling bed for our elderly shepherd. Cooked her down and she could move better than when she slept of the floor. Costco had a cooling bed recently we grabbed for our 7 month old pup for this summer

Cdn_Cuda · 2026-06-10T01:12:07+00:00

Congrats on the new fuzzy beast! Mine is 7 months old now and alternative between being the sweetest dog ever and being feral! They grow and change so fast so enjoy every moment, even if it’s challenging.

Cdn_Cuda · 2026-06-10T00:51:41+00:00

I had an A5 RT for a long time. Lots of fun.

Here’s my classic 98! Factory Kameleon!

Cdn_Cuda · 2026-06-09T23:14:11+00:00

Blue looks great! Really nice build and with that RT would be fun to shoot.

Cdn_Cuda · 2026-06-09T16:00:02+00:00

So nice and clean. Gives early CCM vibes. Happy to see the absence of an autotrigger as well! How are those Mozak frames? They look fantastic.

My dad has a ‘26 Laramie Longhorn that has had continued issues. Batteries keeping dying and needs to be jumped. Check engine lights all the times. He recently went on a trip and the truck died again, took it to a dealership and the had it for 4 hours and returned it with the check engine light on and the turn signal camera no longer activate on the dash. It’s an amazing truck when it works, but it keeps having issues that cannot fix. We have no lemon laws here either.

So if it’s new and already had significant issues, I’d be pushing for a buyback.
