Today I received my M3 Sniper. I was concerned when I opened the box and saw an all black straight bore barrel and a black plastic trigger.
You can see the following product image on www.paintballgear.com Note it depicts a 2-piece barrel and a black plastic trigger.

You can see the same picture but with a chromed/nickel metal trigger on the box the Sniper comes in. Sorry, no pic of the box.
Anyway.... I called their tech department about my "problem" and they informed me the boxes were pre-printed prior to product completion and the Sniper does not come with the 2-piece barrel or the metal trigger. They referred me to the sales department to see if they would rectify the "problem".
The sales dept told me the same story and offered to send me a metal trigger. I complained that I did not get what I thought I had purchased and commented it was practically false advertising as places like paintballgear picture the marker with the 2-piece barrel. The sales guy put me on hold and after a few minutes with his sales manager said he'd send me the barrel and trigger via UPS. Great!
Just a note to any of you that order the Sniper... don't expect to get the metal trigger and 2-piece barrel! But feel free to call their sales staff and politely complain to see what they'll send you for free.
So far so good in M3 land!!! :)
