I am just recently getting back into paintball after taking about 10 years off. I bought this gun and tank off eBay for a total of $120. The description when I bought it said it was an Ion XE Freak. After doing a little research, (it didn't come with any manuals) I'm beginning to wonder if it is, in fact the XE. Here's a couple of pics. If you need more please let me know. I do know that if I press the programing button under the grip, either a red or green light blinks by the power button. Thanks for your help, and I'm looking forward to becoming an active member of this forum.
It's a regular Ion
I would talk to the seller and demand that they let you return it and refult your money 100% for false advertising or threaten to contact their local authorities
The gun there, while a decent performer, is such a PITA to maintain that I'd rather look for a different gun
See if you can keep the tank and the barrel though
You have confirmed my suspicions. I believe that the seller had no idea what they actually had, they were a pawn shop that sold their goods on eBay. For only spending $120 for the gun AND the tank I don't rally think it's worth the complaining and hassle for a return. Now that I know it's not the XE, what should I purchase to upgrade this marker?
Thanks for your responses. Here's a couple pics of the tank, I think it does need to be hydroed again, looks like it was maybe manufactured in 05 and requires every 3 years, just guessin bout the 05. I finally was able to get some air and went to fire it today and it just isn't right. I disassembled it to clean and lube it and it started shooting, but not correctly. I noticed that it has a Virtue Board if that makes any difference. when I say "not correctly" I mean when I pull the trigger it just kinda pfft,pfft and then fires. I have no manual, so any help will be appreciated. MODS- if this thread needs to be moved into a help section, feel free. Thanks
Your bottle has just over 10 years of life left. Other than it being a 3 year test cycle you have yourself a quality bottle. :tup
Are there any other badges on the tank? If not it needs to be tested.
Thanks Frozen Paint, that was the manual I needed. The conversion kit should be here on Thursday for my game on Saturday. Great help on this board. Thanks
Thank You Guys for all your help. I just finished installing the XE conversion kit and a Virtue QEV. Shoots like a champ now, I just have to track down a small air leak and it'll be perfect. Thanks again guys.
