3A Invincible

[redbarton]

Does anybody know anything about this marker sold through 3a-wholesale on Ebay? I have a few friends wanting to get into the sport, but they don't want to spend a lot. They have full packages available for $99, which is a pretty good deal for a hybrid blowback, goggle, 20 oz tank, and VL 200.

On a side note, I can't find a single review on any of 3A's products on this site.

That's because 3A made a bunch of fake reviews for their products to up the rating and got banned from the site because of it. They make pretty crappy stuff but for that price I really don't think you can go wrong.

I thought an absense of reviews for their stuff was suspicious. Thanks for letting me know. Might still try this package though. Anybody out there have one of these Invincible markers?

I OWN A 3A Invincible...

The marker works well for the price paid, but I paid too much.

These are the upgrades I had to do to it:

Upgrade barrel - Demon 16" Sniper
Add Regulator - Spyder Regulator (Wanted Plamers couldn't afford it)
Replaced Drop down - Stock was ok, but I wanted something with a little flare
Add Gas through chamber
Add 1/8 - ASA Adapter - Can't put ASA parts in the veritcal feed
Added Empire SAB Reloader

Now for the bad -
Can't add feeder sleve, as the sleve that is on there is threaded onto the marker and a normal sleeve won't fit even if you open it all the way up. And if you do, you risk damaging the threads.

Can't add a sight (for those interested) the loader sits directly infront of the sight line.. JUST BAD, I would have prefered an cocked feed, but I may have to put an elbow on.

No safety switch just Electro on-off
No Tourny switch - So no tourny's with this gun.

3A - Customer Service
Absolutly without a doubt the worst customer service I have ever seen.

1 - Contact them on their phone, you either get a busy signal or a POS Answering machine

2 - Forums, the moderators have god complex. The mod. who I had a problem with SARGASSO banned me and deleted my account when I was trying to help other people, the only thing I had a problem with was their customer service and I made it known and I got banned ( I guess they don't want the truth coming) and all my posts deleted. When I called the Company and actually talked to someone I told them what was going on and they said that they don't run the forums and they can't controll it. I told them fix it or I am calling the ACLU for violation of my right to Free Speech. Still isn't fixed.

3 - SLOOOOOWWWW Shipping. Took 2.5 weeks to get my order from California to Philadelphia, PA. Shouldn't take that long.

IN short because of the poor customer service NOT the marker. I will NEVER buy FROM 3A ever, and I mean EVER again.


Also look out for a company called: xtreme_super_store
They are on Ebay and they are another distributor for 3A and 3A does shipping for them.
