Quite a rare beast.
Unique electromagentic gas solenoid valve system
At the time it was introduced, perhaps, but these days solenoid operated pneumatics are widely available in airsoft.

Indeed, expect a well documented takedown eventually and some slow motion footage.

One would say that the crude nature actually enhances it. I've wanted one of these ever since I came across it online as a young adolescent so it was no-brainer.

I was told there were other interested parties but I was fortunate to get the first inquiry in, hope I didn't deny you an opportunity :? but you're welcome to put some shot through it downrange if you're ever in the area :D

No worries Jack, I wasn't bidding on it in any case. Just something I've lusted after a bit from time to time. :wink:

Have no immediate plans to get that far east any time soon...heading the other direction within the hour.... 8)
