What do you think about the promaster

[Garrett]

Hi i was thinking a about getting a promaster. what do you guys think?

I do not think i have seen one out to the field, however, there are a few things I have heard, so take it with a grain of salt...
You will need to purchase a drop forward and macroline before you can use this marker. There have been small problems with FSD, the reg isn't the greatest, and you need to seriously sand down your hopper to get it to fit. Last i heard, there were some problem with the detents not quite working right (read tore paint to shreads) I know ICD had some issues in years past with some of their markers and quality control, but who knows, maybe they have resolved these problems. Of course there are others who have not had a single problem with them...
The plus side, is that this marker is supposed to be light, feels great in your hand, and absolutely rip! For the price, you will (in theory) be able to keep up with the fastest guns on the field for 1/3 the cost. It looks nice, if that is important to you.
Bottom line, its your cash, but if you do get one, I'd like to have a look... it can be tough sifting through all the hype, and the fanboy love letters out there.

So do you think if I got a new reg and a new feedneck it would solve some of the problems. Do you think it is a good gun or do you think I should look into a different gun. If you do think I should could you throw some gun types out there for me.
thx

A new reg would be advisable, as for the feedneck, not necessary, as the detents are beyond it... I would just adjust/ replace the springs behind the detents if you happen to have problems.

I will tell you this, the resale on them is crap, as they are so cheap to begin with, so if you plan on turning around and selling it agin, don't have any hopes of making any money on it...

As for other markers... it's all personal preference.. like ford vs chevy vs dodge... it's the player, not the marker that makes it truely shine. :cool:

Ya, I know that I wouldnt make any money off it if I bought it and then sold it. They go down in value alot after they have been shot. A new one will go for $320.00 and a used on for $250.00 and thats with ups. Thanks for the post though (I think im going to get one cause the speed).

I can say that im not a fanboy of ICD but from the people i know that own them they all love them and i was looking at the promaster as well looked like a nice gun for the money

[Garrett]

Ok thanks that helped me make my decision. I think I am going to get one cuz the price and the speed.
Thx guys
