I was given a 2000+ Autococker from a friend but it need a fair bit of work, here's what it needs

complete front 3way
bolt
cocking rod
pressure guage
o-ring kit

Here are some pics of the gun

Autococker

Autococker 2

It's going to cost me a bout 200 bills to fix the gun with some upgraded performance parts on it (bolt mainly) is it worth fixing or should I just get something new?

TIA
Scott

It's not going to cost you $200 to fix it. Heck, you could buy another used cocker for $100 and steal all the parts from it and it'd still not going to be $200
And I don't understand why you need to fix the bolt. I've never seen a broken stock bolt.
You also don't need a gauge. Just stick a 1/8NPT plug in there for 50 cents, or keep the broken one in there to use as a plug. A lot of regs don't show the output pressure anyways so there is even less point in them.
Used 3-ways are everywhere since most cockers have either been turned into a pump, or have been e-bladed/raced. So you can probably find one for $10 bucks from someone.
As for O-rings...... they cost barely anything.
Is the cocking rod stripped or something?

Or if you really don't want to bother, I'll give ya $20 bucks for it.

I've been cursing ebay for parts most people won't ship up to Canada. I'm new to this stuff and was going on the parts new: SHOCKTECH Custom Pneumatics $60, Cocking rod $10, Delrin Bolt $40, 32 degree hammer kit $40 + shipping and tax+ customs.

The bolt has a chip out of the front of it but the place where the bolt slides (I believe it's called the chamber) looks fine with no marks or scratches . I guess some one dropped the bolt at some point. Cocking rod was buggerd and I tried using liquid wrench to lossen it off but it was so badly cross threaded it sheared off in the hammer when I went to unscrew it.

Where would I look for parts? I tried Badlands and Canadianpaintball.com both have very little of what I need.

I happen to have a bunch of new and used Cocker parts at my disposal...are you in the Nanaimo or Victoria area? Catch me at one of those stores, and I can give you an evaluation...

OR for about 100.00 you can put a pump kit on it and be done with it. tongue.gif

I'm in Victoria, what days are you normally in Vic? I put a list of the very basic parts I need to get the gun operational in the Vic store area on the forum.

The "chip" in the front of the bolt is probably the groove which the ball detent rides in.

I'd drop it off at the victoria store.. let brandon take a look at it.. he'll be able to tell you exactly what you need.. and he will most likely have the parts in stock or atleast the parts in nanaimo to make it work like a charm..
