How much is a stock tippmann x7 worth?

Does Kingman/Spyder have anything similar to the Tippmann air-thru stock?

• I'm trying to decide between markers right now and I keep going back and forth between the Tippmann X7phenom and the Spyder MRX. I really like some of the features of both. For the x7 I love how it is extremely easily strippable (almost all pins), and the fact that you fan make it look even more real/mil-sim by taking off the tank adapter and putting in a line adapter to the stock. What I like about the MRX is again how real/mil-sim it looks and the coolness of the "DLS" feature. I really love the air-thru options. So, back to the main part of the question; Does kingman/spyder have anything that is similar to air-thru? And also what are your opinions on these 2 markers

• Answer:

  I don't think spyders have the gas-thru stock option. Primarily because the internal layout of spyders is different. Gas has to pass thru the valve first; the spyder's valve is near the front, whereas the tippmann valve is near the back. So you can see how feeding gas directly into the back, works on a tippmann but not on a spyder.s So you probably want to stick with tippmann for that. Plus, the Phenom in particular operates differently than other tippmanns & all current spyders - it is a true electro-pneumatic whereas the rest are sear-tripper blowbacks. Phenom has less recoil, quieter operation, lower operating pressure. Side note: don't confuse a plain X7 with an X7 Phenom. Two different guns, but they share many external upgrades.
