Here is my baby. I also would have to say it is the best marker I have ever owned. It is the most trouble free. I get over 1500 shoots off a preset 68-3000. My LPR is 65psi, and Operating Pressure is 90psi. The Marker has had 30 cases through it. I set it 5 fps below 300fps and NEVER have had a hot gun. GREAT MARKER. In fact I'm going to get another one.

Any reason you got the shortest sidewinder?

..i would think that you would want a longer one for a more comfortable foregrip....

I just like the way it sits right in the palm of my hand. I hold it from the bottom up, instead of wrapping my whole hand around it. Ivan

I like the single trigger better. You have more had on the marker that way. I also guess it goes back to when I was a Federal Agent, everything we shot had single triggers :). If it was better to have double, I would think you would see more fire arms with double triggers. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind shooting a double. In fact my next Excal will be a double trigger. Just to let you know....you can't go wrong either way if you own an Excal. :) Thanks for the comps. Ivan

Hmmm I remember seeing a twin to that gun...... Talk about looking cool. I looked in this box and saw 2 of them. Kind of like looking at a set of 1800's dueling pistols!! Awesome!

Auctionjunkie! Yhea, you got mine and my bub's. Both are in for the solenoid upgrade. We have made a big hit with the excal in Spokane, so much so, that a couple more players have bought them. And we are going to place another order for 6 unanodized milled bodies and do some nice fades with a splash. Maybe even a reverse splash. Have to see how it goes. Dan, tell me what you think of one, this color? (My Daughter's Marker)She wants her New Excal just like her BushMaster.

your daughter has that awesome bushy and is getting an awesome excal to match it?!?!? will you adopt me? please . . . i dont eat much :wink2: . . . any way . . . i really like the color you have up top here, i think a green to blue fade would be just beautiful, that would be like my dream marker . . . i like fades better than splashes usually, but your excal looks sweet.

Thanks VeNoM, my oldest daughter LOL at seeing your post. (She is a hell of a back player) We have played as a three-man opps three person team and taken a couple of firsts and a third. Dad and his two Daddy's girls. One turny, a young kid made a comment about kicking "Those Girls Butts" my oldest pulled a hat trick and bunkered the guy. Made Me CRY. What more could a dad ask for? LOL Ivan

VeNoM:

We have been playing for a year. No, I do not do the ano. But I did come up with the colors and the idea of doing them that way for this local company. They work on a lot of NASA and Military
contracts plus archery and blow-guns.
I approached them about a year ago and have been working hand in hand with them ever since.

No those are two other bushies. One is a LCD. Red, Black with a silver splash. Backup Marker. The other is a Green, Black with silver splash. Both have all the upgrades that a Sonic Bushie would have plus they have Ripper Frames.

That would look sweet!! If you get it done take some hi-res pix of it and I'll try to get it on the AKA web site with a link to you or your web page.
