get a trracer for 20 quid
or build a cocker pump, but that will set you back a good £120

ive been looking at nelson valve gats or even stirling any good

Older Sterlings with removeable barrels only accept sterling threads, which cramps your style a bit when looking to bore match to paint. Otherwise they are a nice reliable pump - the internal slam fire is also a big bonus. I favour cocker based pumps personally, although I've shot Sterlings, and Nelson clones a bit as well. Cocker pumps are easy to put together from parts, with a good one costing £100-150 depending on spec. Goodies like CCM kit, slam fire, or rare bodies will bump this up a bit.

My current pumps include a 2005 WGP prostock, a 1999 Eclipse, Trilogy sport and a Lapco grey ghost.

thats the thing i want somthing different as i see cockers to be common and i like to be different ive also been looking at soveriegns as i like that there a autococker but different ive just emailed arrow precition for prices for both soveriegn and sterling

Sterlings are stupidly accurate, probably the best pump gun ever made.
If you can get hold of a nice sterling STP, grap it.

Can't go wrong with a trracer/maverick to test the water

They go for 20 second hand, old but very useable

Then when you know you like it you can get into the more pricey pumps

Justpaintball are doing 50 rd hoppers, just to make that known

No worries bud

Empire are doing their new trracer, heard nothing but good since it's release. Saving for one myself, since I love my maverick

It's awesome seeing people still getting into pump
Vive le pump!
