Biggest and best!
Added 2023-02-06 07:04:00 +0000 UTCMy biggest and best video yet! The full restoration of one of the closest things we have to an antique in the sport of paintball! A rare early-generation maker that was only made from around 1986 to late 1987, and is so rare today that few players have even heard of it, let alone actually used one.
(I haven't yet found anyone who has actually used one in a game.)
And sorry about Monday's filler- getting this video finished and uploaded turned out to be a all-day circus.
Let me know what you think!
Doc.

Never saw the Puma, but I still have my Nel Spot 007.
2023-02-11 03:15:09 +0000 UTCI bet those lowers would look really nice powder coated. It doesn't look quite as sharp as nicely anodized aluminum, but it's way less of a pain to do yourself and it works on any metal.

2023-02-06 19:33:56 +0000 UTCThat issue has basically *the only* article on a Puma anyone's ever found, We've only found one magazine ad that even listed a price!

2023-02-06 14:58:40 +0000 UTCA PUMA? Oh wow. I remember possibly APG #1 had a "How to use a Puma" article in it. That was 1987 or thereabouts.
2023-02-06 14:00:01 +0000 UTCAverage player tinkering with marker: "I can't find a removal tool for this marker's guts, I guess I should get a new one once this stops working." Doc N: *Calmly heads for lathe and scratch builds tools* You have to love to see that absolute professionalism and experience at work. Beautiful classics brought back from the rusty circles of hell.
