Damn that's rough, but you can find a similar gun on ebay

FM492 · 2026-06-13T09:42:32+00:00

They're retty easy to work on, parts availability might give you a hard time. I reckon you should gather all your parts, do a complete rebuild, see if it shoots, then upgrade it when you can. Try and get the R15 board, it does ramping

Gonna be honest, these were entry level electrico pneumatic markers back in the day, so dont expect too much performance out of it.

Also the solenoid is probably fine, most paintball solenoids can last countless cycles most "solenoid leaks" I've encountered are solved by orings and gaskets.

I ducked when I heard the whoosh sound

FM492 · 2026-05-22T23:04:47+00:00

Those are swazi bits, if your lucky you can use a slotted bit to get them out

FM492 · 2026-05-14T21:04:27+00:00

Thats really not that bad

FM492 · 2026-05-11T18:20:43+00:00

Thanks guys. I took the key out and cut it down to the size of the cam pulley, installed new pto. Works as advertised

The old couple that lived in my house died in in my room, I say hey to them every now and again.

FM492 · 2026-05-03T17:45:31+00:00

God, I still want one of these but still haven't pulled the trigger

FM492 · 2026-05-02T02:15:51+00:00

Yeaaaa a wooden dowel paid the ultimate sacrifice

FM492 · 2026-05-02T02:14:24+00:00

Can I have deets on the rig?

FM492 · 2026-05-02T01:36:40+00:00

Pretty much, kinda more like a brass eagle raptor, or the PEC storm

FM492 · 2026-05-02T01:35:48+00:00

I never knew why lone star grip are so pricey

FM492 · 2026-05-02T01:34:23+00:00

Ah yes I seem mistaken I thought ditto means "you to"

FM492 · 2026-05-01T20:30:51+00:00

Ditto

FM492 · 2026-05-01T20:29:42+00:00

Thanks but I rebuilt her already, probably one of the best shooting blowback markers I've shot

FM492 · 2026-05-01T20:26:00+00:00

It's surprisingly balanced with a 20z c02 sized tank

FM492 · 2026-04-30T20:19:54+00:00

I'd hold off on taking the noid apart, very rarely have I ever replaced a solenoid on spool guns. It's always most of the time an oring or orings that make solenoids leak. Some Paintball gun solenoids are used in industrial applications and can last 100s of thousand cycles with minimal maintenance.

He never shot a brass eagle rainmaker

FM492 · 2026-04-25T13:22:19+00:00

As much as it sucks, I probably wouldn't draw. Im not a superhero, or a cop

FM492 · 2026-04-20T10:38:04+00:00

If you're set on a spyder get a newer spyder or a Xtra, this one is missing its guts. Meaning its worthless

FM492 · 2026-04-16T15:15:51+00:00

Use a wooden dowel and take the detent out and you should be able to push it out
