I picked up a Equalizer not too long ago. Have yet to fix one of the leaks in it though lol.

I had a buddy who had an equalizer and would not let me shoot it cause, well thats a long story. Do you like how it shoots? What do the internals look like?

How about an early LAPCO Grey Ghost.

Back Bottle Ghost with original wood grips, fully restored



Picture shows some electric tape around pump handle holding screw in stripped out threads, but that has now been restored now. Fresher pictures to come. I wanted one in the late 80's but money did not cooperate, now I can.

I haven't gotten a chance to shoot it yet because I've been trying to fix a stupid leak. The internals are way to simple for me to not know how to stop the leak. Theres a Bolt, spring, and a big plastic piece that fit in and its a pain to put the shell back on. Ill take a pic of the internals to show you tommorow. I thought the velocity screw was pretty neat, when you screw it outwards it opens the valve for more air input which is how it works in about every gun. Dunno why but i thought that was cool.

I have another I'm working on [part time] and some other LAPCO goodness.

How about some Line SI Bushmaster Deluxe in the mean time:

Some Old School Patches?

How about a Mokal Mirage? Superdad and I both use them, and between us we have 5 (I think). I don't have a picture of one in original condition currently, but here is mine, slightly modified:
