Hey guys, I recently sold my Empire Sniper off, along with my Axe, to buy an Ego11. I want another pump. I'm open to SC options, but I don't know much about them. I've been looking for a used Sniper, but I need people to tell me what to look for when buying one.

There isn't much you have to look for in a cocker,assuming you are going to pump it yourself.The pnumatics don't have to work(for obvious reasons),and it doesn't necessarily have to have a good reg.But,I would probably suggest a phantom if you want to switch from oc to msc to sc every day. And like I said above,if you plan on getting a sniper,it is usually a good idea to make your own,so that you can customize it to your liking(and,it's pretty fun).

First off, do you want smooth or rougher stroke?

I've played with a 6.5, so a smooth stroke is wonderful. I wish I could get it cheap, because I'd think about throwing a CCM frame/pump on it.

I've seen used ccms go for $400 shipped. You should go for a used ccm since a ccm at frame and pump kit is like $200 ish and ccm internals are like $75-100

I may have to look around. I just want the CCM 86* frame and pump kit. The other stuff isn't all that important to me.

[bassfisher]

the things to look for are what type of pump kit, what type of 'cocker body, and what upgrades there are.

I picked up my T2 off the Nation for $350 shipped. While the T2 was more refined than the Sniper, I like how robust the Sniper is. Maybe build your own? There's plenty of body kits for sale on MCB and PBN that would just require a frame.

I'm calling the cops, it's like you stole that t2 at that price!

Doubled my money and then some

I picked up a Prostock with a CCM kit for a little over $200.
It may not have had all the fancy bells and whistles, but it performed on the field just as well as my T2.

[misterkyle]

do you have a budget?.

you can't go wrong as long as it has a underbore barrel, single trigger, and the pump kit has dual guide rods.

I think I may just save and get myself a CCM.

Maybe try building your own Sniper? I prefer slider frames over hinges and that all CCM uses. Find a sweet body you like and put your favorite parts on.

Call the cops on me too. I got this for $300...
