What do you guys think I should get for a body. I want it light but not a mini.

 

[CoolHipJim56]

Go with the FF lotus man, they are pretty lite, and not a mini.

 

[keeneyguy]

ehh... try to find a raw body and mill it to suit you

 

[tippmannbeast]

yea raw bodies go for about $120, and you can get it extreme milled so it's lighter than a lotus. custom anodizing too- w00t!

 

[Stopie]

But how much monies does it cost, on avereage, to get it milled, then annoed...or both at the same time?

There's a guy on ebay selling very raw cocker billet blanks for $45. I've been told they are the same blanks used by CCM. They are raw bricks with the holes tapped - so need alot of milling, not just cosmetic. I think his names dadansonforfun.

dude those bodys are freaking HOT....especially the way the bolt and back block move...that is so sweet

 

[imhungry]

half/fast blocks are a pain. u probably would not be able to put one together. its hard has hell. get a jackle body, EXTREMELY light

 

[Flatliner105]

if they put it together..then i kno for a fact I can also

 

[imhungry]

u have to drill into the hammer and its a pain in the ass. real easy to mess up. halfblocks arent that nice either. they are REAL fast, but they dont feel right IMO.

if you search ebay there is a guy selling frames with reg/trigger and all internals for 100. i'm thinking about getting one just to build a gun, plus i want the clamping feedneck... i have an 03 VF

All of the halfblock kits I've seen include the appropriately-modified hammer. Future upgrades would certainly be a PITA, probably requiring custom work.

I have one of the Advanced Concepts body kits that are now selling on eBay for around $120. It looks good (black-blue fade) and all cocker parts I've tried to fit have done so without any drama. The Angel-threaded feedneck is a definate plus.

"Skull Paintball" also sells on eBay and theirs are similar to Advanced Concepts, with a bit more mill work. Similar price, too.

The round-top bodies are reputed to be excellent.

I see some turtle Cocker kits on eBay now, hammer included. $350 BIN, but current bids are $1, with 24hrs to go.

Or, you can go with any one of a number of well-known custom shops: Doc's, Martin's machine, Turtle, etc.

wow... thanks for the heads up on skullpaintball selling similar stuff. i might get one of those bodies.
