Hey guys well i found an 03 BKO for sale locally for 40$. The lady that has it says it needs a little work but doesn't know what it needs to be 100% It was her ex's and he moved out and left it. it also has a remote coil and 47/30 tank included with it.
My question is????
Is it worth buying?

Also I have a few other questions about it.
What barrel threads and feedneck threads does it use?
I know that sometime around 2003 ICD went to cocker threads but im not sure if this gun is ICD or cocker...

[martix_agent]

if the barrel threads are flush with the marker, it's ICD threaded. If it's got a step in t, then it'd cocker threaded.

The feedneck is ICD threads. don't let people lie to you and tell you that smart parts threads work.

$40 is reasonable, so long as it's easily fixed.

It looks bone stock, so I would say 40 dollars is a good price. I'd pick it up and unload the remote line and tank.

As far as fixing it, there are people stumbling around here and ICDO that can probably walk you through fixing it.

The feedneck threads are ICD specific. Some impulse feednecks fit. I'd say that the 03 would be autococker threaded. I know the 04s are. If not, ICD threaded barrels can be had for about half the price of autococker ones.

Is it worth buying? Do you like to tinker with paintball guns?

Haha i love tinkering with guns, i was watching some youtube vids last night and the air forward spring back setup really intrigues me.

[martix_agent]

it's your standard FASOR marker. they're kinda neat. you can also put a promaster ram into them with little to no modifications.

That one is cocker threaded. they are fun to tinker with.

[Kope606]

sweet well I think im gonna pick this gun and see what its all about.
Is it true that you should only use lithium lube on these markers?

[63VDub]

It is recomended, but I have used superlube, slick honey and all the other popular lubes without issue.

[Kope606]

ok cool. I cant seem to get a hold of this lady so hopefully she doesn't flake on me.

I have to give ICD credit, i'm the original owner of a 2k3 bko that has been sitting in my closet for around 8 years. I just recently stumbled across it and I started messing with it. I regreased the LPR and the solenoid, aired it up and it still cycles just like the day I got it. I would guess I've only put around 2 or 3 cases thru it in its life...

[Berkut_11]

The BKO was my first marker. So many memories of lumbering that heavy thing up the field lighting up fools left and right. Kinda sad I had to let it go

Kind of an old thread, but thanks for sharing. Why not get another one? They are going for pretty cheap and are just as fun as the day we all bought our first one.
