hey guys i am hoping one of you can help me out i want to get a marq 7 and i am looking at one and then after a later today i got a PM form a guy saying that the gun was baked and that the gun had only 2eyes and the guy who had the gun was saying that it had 4 eyes so my questions are

does the gun being baked affect preformance or cause any sorta problem?

and is there any way to see if the gun has 2 or 4 eyes from the outside?

any help would be great thanks

I wouldn't buy a baked marker that I didn't get to shoot and see that it holds air first.

There is no way to tell if a Marq has two eyes or four eyes from the outside. You would have to remove the eye covers and actually look.
Baking messes with the tolerances horribly. If only something minor like the eye covers, feedneck ring, or grip frame were baked then it's not a big deal. But if the body or a reg was baked then forget it. There is a chance something is off with the marker and it could leak without repair.
Pretty much with baking, you don't want to do it at all honestly but people will still do it. So if it's done it should only be done on something that won't affect the tolerances of the marker like eye covers, feednecks, grip frames, etc. As soon as you start doing the body or regs you run the chance of a tolerance expanding too much or contracting and damaging the marker. Not only that but if a company sees that the marker is baked they generally will not repair it because it's a 'do it yourself' home job and not professionally done like an anodize in which they can control tolerance changes to an extent.

ok so I talked to the guy and the eyes problem is sorted out but now he is saying that the gun was reanno'd (info from the pervious owner) but here is a link to the youtube vid for the gun let me know if you can tell if it is baked (I know that he says it is baked but let me know if you can see proof)

Eyes turn violet when a ball is present, so you have 2 eyes. There is no way to tell that it is baked. It sounds like he has already tried to lie to you on a few things, I would probably guess that it is baked. Like tokay said I would avoid that at all costs.

im the one that he was thinking about buying the marq 7. I wasnt lieing and trying to mess with him i was told all of this from the last guy i just got this gun a few days ago in a trade and the guy told me it had 4c eyes and a pillow bolt so i beliaved him. Today i looked and it doesnt have either im not trying to lie to anyone i was going by what the previous owner told me.
