The gun that started it all, this is an early sniper 1. What’s really impressive is that it still has intact the Sat Cong Village sticker. (Sat Cong village is now known as SC village, far more PC. In his early garage gun days, bud set up shop and sold his guns there.). Very few of the original stickers remain, let alone in good condition. This used to be in Carters collection of MCB fame until his recent sale, where once again I was second to try and buy it. The new owner decided he wanted a player though, so it was offered to me. How could I pass it up? Note the lack of sight rail and the thumbscrew holding the bolt in. Although it has seen some use, it’s in excellent condition except for some rust on the rods. The tank is an old thermo valve tank, one of the earliest designs for paintball use.
