Up until the temporary move to the West Coast a few weeks ago, I was hoarding a whole lot of classic valved markers (or at least the parts to pull together 3-4 loaners) plus an old Trracer at any given time, under the justification that it gives me lots of loaners to drag my un-baptized friends out on the field. I left all them behind.
I was also playing about once a week, almost entirely recball (sometimes pump-only days, sometimes open recball--if it was mostly renters, I was usually playing pump). The move actually inspired me to realize a little something:
I have two builds going now, and once they're done I'll be set up with three guns that I think will push me towards Nobody's #2 scenario:
1) a ULE pump that can be swapped to stock class with KNM's snap-on feed adapter (built, though it may get an xvalve soon)
2) a rehabbed gen3/4 micromag with lvl 10 (building, thanks to SN_toter and Forest at PTP for help)
3) my latest fling, a ULE bodied OLTR/LPR-FG/mini vert set up courtesy of Luke's (building, thanks a few times over to Luke's for pure genius)
With this combo, I can basically cover each and every play style, and I'll have at least one decently close play-style match for my wife (who in reality only plays a few times a year). Now I'm debating with myself whether I turf out all the classic valve loaners/parts I have stored up at home. I could probably use to clean up my stuff, else I'll go on tinkering with new builds and "wasting" money. I get a lot of satisfaction out of building/tinkering with all the different kinds of things you can do with mags, but I think I need to let some of this crap go... at least if I can convince anyone to pay for (some of) it.
