Yeah, if i don't get an autococker, i'm thinking of getting an Excalibur. No, i'm not a newb with a 1K + marker, yes i have read the reviews, and i haven't heard a bad thing about em. Which is good, a friend at my field has one, and he let me use it for a game........my God, heaven on earth..........but i'd like to get more experianced players opinions. And i want a red acid washed one....so if i send in my freak tip, would they acid wash that? and can he CP flame drop forward be custom anodized with the marker also? thanks for the help.

If you get the excaliber:
My advice to you would be to get the cheapest one you can find and send it in to http://www.g3pb.com/ and have them mill and anodize it. You will have one sexy marker.
You could do the same thing with the cocker but you'd want better internals than the stock ones.

Remember if you get a excal and want it annoed make sure you get the raw body. When you get the normal black excal aka uses a hard anno and when stripped will ruin tolerance.

yup hardest thickest anno of them all,and the AKA markers are made with such percision that it will damage the body to strip it

Price
Speed(not a big deal, still shoots plenty fast
Trigger Angle

Yeah dood, I reccomend the Viking. Unless you have the extra cash and would prefer the closeed bolt feature.
If you don't care about closed vs open bolt, then try out a Viking. My buddy was quite set on getting an Ex, but after beholding my new Viking he's now leaning towards the Viking. Thats because for less of a price then a stock Ex u can get a fully annoed and milled Viking...
they are virtually identical in size shape and appearance... only difference is the innards...
but hey, its up to u dood. The other thing the Ex has is probably a slightly smaller waiting list.

I'm sorry but i think closed bolt is WELL worth the extra cash. Being shot at by cockers in woods ball when you can't hit them because of the closed bolt system is just not cool.
And the plain stock Ex looks plunty cool if ya ask me hehe.
Ohh yeah, forgot about the waiting list hehe, thats a tough one but if you are willing to spend that cash, your prolly very willing to wait.
