Ten Shots markers:

We haven't heard anything from him in quite a while, but, I haven't forgotten that KP. PPS did a great job on it (and the other markers).

This is a site with problems, it's not always up and running.
But it belongs to Carter and has perhaps the most extensive list of old markers on the web, including many factory diagrams and old advertisements.

If you can get in, click on "marker exhibit" and enjoy.

Somebody said something about photobucket.
I tried it, and here are some results (I hope)
For all I know, these could be links, or 2 1/2 pages of pics...If it's too much, I'll try and fix it.

Keep in mind, I know nothing about komputers so this is a poke&hope deal....if it all works, I'll consider putting more stuff up.
(also this is the only place I'm trying to put these pics up, at least until I know what the poof I'm doing with this mouse thing ~ besides the obvious :rolleyes: )

I meant to post links, not all that.

FWIW, that's not all the markers, those don't show the cheap Blades or Vulcan 5000's I used to get for $5, nor does it encompass all the gear that goes along like old hoppers made of oilcans, or woodstalker masks, stickfeed adapters, tanks dated from the 80's....

My collection pales beside some of the Marshals.

I met someone ( Gordon? I'm bad with names) from Remember The Ronin, and he had a rather unique piece from Earon Carter I took some pics of...He called it a "Gecko Blaster" and said it was one of three made for a tourney team out of Hawaii.

Wow this thread is amazing.

That puts me in mind of a pre-Duck or Duck inspired custom job. Coming from Carter for a Hiwain team, anything is possible in that area. It would be interesting to hear the complete history behind that batch. Excellent find.

I wonder how bad that design stresses the bolt? Looks like the pump bar might have a tendency to bow up.

^aye, def a duck base, rather a redux or realduck.

it has the same handle the ronion buzzard has aswell.

[Pyrate Jim]

He had a few others with him that day:

<edit to add:> in the second pic are some barrel bags he had with the RTR logo on them. nifty little double sided bags - if one side got splooged, flip the velcro cover and use the other side.

[F.T. Phantom]

Any suggested retail prices? Just out of curiosity.

I think I would have chained those markers to somthing very heavy.

SMG 60s :wub:

Or are they 68s? Anyway, do you still have either of them?

Here is a collection I found via google: http://www.vm68.com/me/my_guns.html I don't think it's been posted yet. That site is full of pimp stuff and other galleries so be sure to check everything else out.

[EGOrocks]
