black/chrome custom built body...(old pics)

As you go through the pictures, you will see it is the same body/cocker. But the evolution it has went through. Such as different frames, feeds, blocks, etc. This has always been my "test" cocker. To check out new parts on that folks have claimed to be so great. I have come to the conclusion that most folks don't know what they are talking about ;-)

1st build
It has the following:
-Shocktech low pressure reg (excellent lpr)
-Ans quick-pull bolt (a bit heavy, but increase fps)
-Black Magic inline regulator (great reg, finish tarnished easliy)
-Freak barrel (no issues here)
-WGP drop with on/off asa
-System X swing frame
-System X beaver tail
-System X high rise feed
-System X cocking rod
-System x ball detent
-Plamers ram
-STO 3 way
-Off brand Chrome 15 degree vert ASA
-Off brand Chrome front block
-Extended front block bolt (banjo bolt)

My spill.. System X has a reputation for creating bad products. And I can say that they did not make the best, but neither did they make junk. Especially when you considered the prices at the time system X hit the market uncutting everyone else. From my experience in the early days the system X products were made very well. As they became more popular they cut corners and what not running their name in the ground. Hate them or not, they made a great impact on the cocker world... Not sure if it was good or bad, lol...



Changes from first build:
-Dye single hinge frame (see below)
-WGP STO Drop
-Kapp Beavertail (one of my favorites)
-Kapp on/off (nice, but heavy)
-Chrome back block (off brand, ugly)

Many people are big fans of the dye frames. I for one am most definely not. For a pump they would be great, as so many folks desire these single swing frames for. But for a mechanical autococker the hole in the trigger where the timing rod enters, is too big. Thus resulting in the trigger moving over 1mm before the timing rod ever moved. And on an very tight trigger pull such as I desire the slack did not always force the rod completey back into place when releasing the trigger, thus causing the 3 way to leak. Now this could be avoided with a longer trigger pull, but that was not my goal. I had the same issues with the double finger dye frames as well.


3rd build
This is third rebuild of this cocker:
-Benchmark Double slider trigger frame with built in beaver tail
I had to cut and make the trigger shoe for it, worked great
-ANS Gen-X II inline reg (first aftermarket inline I ever bought, still looks new)
-Newer WGP stock low pressure reg
-Hollow point 3 way (very smooth)
-Push button On/off bottom line/mini drop assembly (cuts orings like madd)
-ANS hour glass low pressure chamber (banjo bolt)
-44 mag ram with QEVs (there is no substitute)
-Shocktech cocking rod (great idea, set screw in the side of the head)
-Not sure, but I believe it is an ANS back block
-MacDev Ying-Yang bolt, Aluminum back and delrin front with orings (nice bolt)
-CCM Clamping feed neck (very nice, thin, light weight)
-Dye sticky II grips (very comfy)
-Large oversized head ball detent (not sure of brand)
Thats about it...
