AV-R7 "Retro 7"
Anyone see this yet? Remake of a nelspot, bunch of new features. Hasn't actually come out, but the preorders open, along with falcon preorders. Going to be at least 2 orders of 50 made, and theres going to be a pump handle option along with other accessories.

Edit: Just to sum up a few things you have to read to find out, this is the cliffnotes I threw together basically.
~First strike milled, but breech / barrel will be either .680 or .675 or .685 (who knows, hes changed it several times), meaning that without milling the .690 first strike round fins will break.
~Pump frame option is already planned, estimated at 40.
~There will be no prototypes, its all based of the nelspot 007 dimensions. Hopefully it'll work, if not there will be problems. AKA, the 2nd run is going to be crammed by people with money saved up, but its the smart option.
~Internals are all the same as nelspot 007's, only difference is the valve port, which has 3 ports for air.
New cliff notes as of 2/7/11.
~Huge argument over breech drop versus bore drop, at least 10 pages of mostly unsupportable arguments and 5 of actual good info, currently breech drop if I recall (theory is breech drop slams the paintball when fired into a possibly tight bore barrel and causes more breaks, whereas bore drop can pinch the ball on the drop or something like that, may be wrong)
~Huge argument on whether to have a whole new frame that will not fit the original 007 or one that will, currently the frame will be compatible with original 007's
~Small argument over internals, currently it will be CCI internals with a CCI type sear
~Someone is arguing for custom insert only barrels, really stupid since it will make other barrels incompatible and raise cost
~There was a idea to make the first run simple and the second run a really modified version but thats not going anywhere, its just kinda stupid.
So ya. Enjoy the cliffnotes.

Re: AV-R7 "Retro 7"
that is awesome! i really like the fact that he decided to make it a FULL marker instead of just a grip frame
