The newly redesigned Sentinel TS '04 include all our latest updates and performance options. This includes the options that made the Sentinel TS an instant classic such as Action Markers' trademark Vari-Grip feed-tube, the performance speed sear, the original straight Blade style trigger, and now also includes the AM Rip Bolt. The new AM Rip Bolt retains your link pin for easy fieldstripping without the fear of losing the pin.
On top of the incredible features offered throughout the Sentinel, the Sentinel TS includes a few new upgrade options. By adding in features that are normally "upgrades" on other guns, the Tournament Series in the Sentinel Line was born.
The Sentinel TS offers the same features as the Sentinel, as well as these other great stock features:
Beautifully anodized patterns including the Sunburst red-to-black satin finish
New Redesigned CNC milled body
Matching anodized and ported barrels
Balanced drop forward
Hogue grips
Ported barrel
New Performance Sear
Matching anodized Barrel, Valve Chamber, and Lock Bolt
The new AM Rip-Bolt
The signature series Vari-Grip feed Tube (Now available in high-rise and no-rise)
The original Dual Ball Detent system
Product Availability
The Action Markers Sentinel TS is older, so while it may be available used and in a few cases new, it is not commonly available anymore.

Strengths:
The marker is well made, It is good looking and works when you need it
Weaknesses:

Review:
This marker is awesome, the reliability is unparalleled, if you want a marker that wont let you down....this is it. Works well with CO2 or HPA, user friendly!!!! Since this is my first marker I did not want to have to be worrying about solenoids or electronic switches or anything like that. I just wanted a marker whose operation was straight forward, and its performance tournament level. The sentinel ts fits into this category rather nicely!!!
Conclusion:
I would certainly recommend this product to anyone looking for a blowback marker, looks ten times better than a spyder and is much more well thought out, the cocker threads, ball detents etc. Buy it!!!!!
Very balanced and lightweight. Feels good in your hand.
Weaknesses:
I haven't come across any and I don't expect to.
Review:
This is a great gun. The gun is lightweight, but sturdy. It is well balanced in your hand. It has a good rate of fire. The accuracy is pretty good with the stock barrel, but I still suggest getting a good aftermarket barrel. The annodizing on the gun is great. It has autococker threads for the barrel so you can find a barrel. This is a very well made marker.
Conclusion:
I would recommend this marker to anyone. It is very well made. This gun is going for around $200 now. Its the right price for a great marker.
none really mabe the barrel if you want to but its still a good stock barrel
Strengths:
great gun feels good looks good shoots good accurate
Weaknesses:
i couldnt really find any I didnt like the trigger though
Review:

Conclusion:
buy this thing its great it cant fail you its one of the best guns ive used! i want 1 o i didnt mention the balanced feeling it has to it even with a 20 oz co2 tank on it its balanced it looks like it would be badly unbalanced but its great

Review:
This is a really nice gun. The quality that Action Markers puts into their guns is incredible. These guns are not only made from good materials, but the anodizing and milling is very nice. The sentinel has many features that other guns in its price range lack. For example, Angel feed tubes, blade trigger, dual ball detents, delrin bolt, etc. It also performs very well. The trigger is a bit heavy, but upgrading to the new sear that you can buy directly from action markers will fix this problem. My sentinel has very little recoil and gets good gas efficiency due to the mid-pressure operation at 500 psi. I get about 800 shots off a 12oz tank, which is good compared to the rest of the blowbacks out there.
Conclusion:
This is a nice gun and you should consider getting one. The quality surmounts that of any other gun in its class.
Meh, this gun was average. I cant say anything super special about it. When it comes down to it its a blow back. But for starters it a nice gun. Real small and light (good for young guys), but the valve broke after 3 uses. Just not worth the 200 AM thinks they should get. Thats just way to much to spend on a blow back, especailly a mechanical blow back. all in all just not a great buy.
Conclusion:
Very average gun and alittle to pricy. If you want a great durable starter gun get a 98 custom.

Spyder E-99
Palmer Stabilizer
Rocket Valve
Bob Long VA
All American Barrell
Dead On Pro Style drop forward
Vertical Feed Tube with vari grip
Ricochet Ak
Recommended Upgrades:
Barrell and reg
Strengths:
I like the velocity adjusting in the front, it works really well. I like that you can field strip with a pin the pulls out the top and the bolt comes out without having to degas. Vertical feed is always nice. Very compact, I was surprised by how small it is.
Weaknesses:
LOUD. In the description it says that its annodized when it is really powder coated.......I was mad about that. Not many upgrades for it. Valve is not high flowing, makes it difficult to get it shooting in low pressure ranges.
Review:
I use this as a backup gun. Very reliable. Comes in a nice box with foaming. I think I will keep this around. Powder coating sucks............OH! I forgot, when mine came I gassed it up and the drop forward leaked. All of the gas came out of the stress hole. I switched it and it works fine now.
stock sentinal ts sunburst, ricochet ak, 68 ci 4500 crossfire
Recommended Upgrades:
none
Strengths:
I took the marker to an experienced pro customizer to test the marker out and he concurred that everything about this gun appears to be a positive, from aesthetics, to the dual ball detentes, super easy field stripping, the cocker barrel threads, the 2x finger trigger, drop forward angle, solid build, nice ano job, built in o rings on ball feed alot of great features. We were both excited to try it out so.....
Weaknesses:
The marker will not fire properly for me period. First it took a good deal of time to get it to fire under 300 fps. after mission accomplished and several shots the chrono was all over the place from 230 to over 300 again. After about 50 balls we started to get the auto effect shooting going on every time we pulled the trigger. We checked the hammer sear as well as O rings. Tried two seperate air tanks and still it persisted with the auto firing. The manual was absolutely no help after a lot of time wasted we could do no more than to chalk it up as a loss.
Conclusion:
The reviews on this site and warpig.com is what led me to the purchase of this marker. Maybe I got one bad marker out of the group. Who knows? I would have loved for this marker to work as well as every one says it does but it hasn't. I am now just gonna save a little longer and get a WGP Autococker.
Rating reflects my disapointment and experience with the gun. It is completely unusable and unsafe for me to play with, therefore...
