Action Unlimited
Action Unlimited was an American paintball equipment supplier based in Southern California, United States. The company was active during the 1980s and is documented for its brass-barrel conversion system for the Nel-Spot 007 paintball marker.
The conversion was featured in the June 1988 issue of Action Pursuit Games magazine.[1]
History
[edit]Action Unlimited was operated by Rob Fuller and supplied equipment and modifications for early paintball markers.
In June 1988, Action Pursuit Games featured the company's Brass Nel-Spot Conversion in its "Products for Players" section. The article identified Action Unlimited as a Southern California game supplier and described a conversion intended to improve the performance of the original Nel-Spot pistol.[1]
The brass conversion components were made for Action Unlimited by an airsmith identified in the article as Captain Chuck.[1]
Nel-Spot Conversion
[edit]The Action Unlimited Nel-Spot Conversion was an aftermarket modification system for the Nel-Spot 007, a pump-action paintball pistol originally manufactured by Daisy Manufacturing Company.
The conversion replaced the original steel barrel with a brass barrel fitted to the existing receiver. The design was intended to reduce maintenance requirements associated with the original barrel and improve consistency and accuracy.[1]
The system was available with either a 10-inch or 14-inch barrel. Additional equipment included a larger pump handle, a sight rail and a quick-change CO₂ mechanism.
Optional modifications included a shoulder stock, a 7-ounce CO₂ tank with a constant-air connection and an automatic trigger mechanism that allowed the marker to fire repeatedly while the trigger was held and the pump cycled.[1]
VintageRex lists the conversion as a 1988 product, retaining the Nel-Spot's .68-calibre, pump-action configuration and Nelson-style valve system.[2]
