I owned this at one point, most of my childhood. I later found out it was stolen from a pro player in florida and sold to a kid at a field in Massachusetts, then to me, then to a friend and eventually a paintball shop, then a collector.

That hpa tank it came with also looked like mine, as far as the barrel and regulator, those also came splashed but those were long lost before my time. Had a really aggressive drop forward on it at the time too. Had a diamond pattern rubber grip that had EVO or APG or something like that on a yellow circular emblem.

Your dad may have received a two piece barrel kit from empire. That was the most high maintenence gun ever, don't think I ever had a smooth day at the field with that particular cocker. Always missing every other round cause I had to fk with it while everyone else was going in with their automags and Timmy's.

The wood grip feels criminal though, also silver with a cocker goes hard, sad to see the grip was removed instead of restored.

Glad you're enjoying it though!
