Attachment 18281

Just got this today. I was part of the original preorder but ended up needing the cash ASAP so I had to sell my spot just before they finally shipped. A year of waiting and then to come up short oh well when the government says they want their tax money...well they want their damn tax money so what can you do? It's a Retro 7 by Avratech and it is part of the first run of 50 and two numbers shy of my original number. I'm a Nelson guy through and through and this is bar none the best shooting and feeling Nelson I have ever owned or used. I've so far only been lighting up things in my backyard but it points on target naturally, the pump action is short and snappy and the trigger is just perfect. I'm going to put in some field time on the weekend and see how I like it then but so far I am more than impressed.

it's a modern pgp? snazzy!

**Crawdaddy** · February 6th, 2013, 05:23 PM

Not quite. Ok actually it's not even close it's a remake of the Nelspot 007. It has a few modern twists like a Freak bored barrel, autococker threading, totally redesigned 45 grip, mostly Phantom internals, quick changer, standard bottom mount for CA setup and quite a few things I'm forgetting. The best part is that it is still compatible with Nelspot parts as well.

That is sick. I was looking st buying one of the spots just before they opened up but i some how talked myself out of it :/
Either way nice gun and great way to play some paintball

A few have come up for sale but they are holding their value so there goes the idea of playing pump to save money.

Thanks but I can't take the credit that is the stock colour.

***martix_agent*** · February 7th, 2013, 08:35 AM

it's a great stock color.

The entire anno process was a bit of a gong show the original anno company screwed up and a lot of the work ended up having to be redone by the Tonsixers so that is why the colour match is ever so slightly off. Still the Tons do the best anodizing work around so in the end it worked out.

I like it too it hasn't been out of my sight since I got it Saturday can't come soon enough I'm even desperate enough to take it on a speedball field. I hate inflatables but stockclass in the winter is a lesson in futility you'll get maybe 10 good shots out of a 12gram.

**huckduck** · February 7th, 2013, 05:12 PM

that's the stock colour? meh. i see the raw one running around lol.

**Crawdaddy** · February 7th, 2013, 06:09 PM

Well I've got a stainless steel receiver on the way so that will be close.

I should have never sold mine, I am waiting for the Magnum R7 with Slam Change though

one of my favourite guns to shoot!

**the_real_kaz** · March 21st, 2013, 06:31 PM

I was going to say it's a phantom in a new body..

ShortBus · March 25th, 2013, 09:24 AM

I can't wait to get mine. I'm getting the SS bodied one as well, the flush freaked barrel, not the zero:

in hopefully this anno:

Whatever that thing in the bottom picture is, I kinda want to hang it on my wall.
