whats up with pricing?

doless · 08-27-2008, 10:03 PM

i'm looking for a new gat, right?
tourny level, reliable...spoolie..ect
so the pmr's don't seem to have too many problems.. (mostly orings and lubing, aka, regualr maintnence)
but then, u can find a pm7, and even a virtued, ul'd pm6 for the same price as a pmr on ebay. So i was kinda wondering...whats a better bang for the buck, and why do protos drop so much in price?
thanks

I have seen UL'D PM7's on the nation for around 350...thats the best deal I have seen...I don't know how much you are looking to spend, but I just got a PM8 for 450

I had a PMR and loved it, but you do gain a LPR with the PM7 thats really the key difference.

i really only wanna spend maybe $200, $250
the reason i'd consider a pm6 or pm7 was reliabilty issues.
i owned 2 ions previously...and everytime i went out, sumthing blew, or broke.
i just want a intermediate marker that won't be the one that goes down on the field.

I bought my UL'd PM6 for $300 a while back. I have never had it go down on the field. You can easily find a PM6 with ups for $250.

the key difference is not just the lpr... its many things..

the feedneck, trigger, whole whole entire different bolt system, on/off, ect
