It wasn't -- I bought the gun used from a friend, and he gave me a very, very good deal on it. The mechbox was pretty old and when I opened 'er up there were a few pieces that were pretty worn, and replacing them would have cost me around $60 (all the gears, the spring guide, piston head, etc, etc). so I figured I'd just buy a new one.
I'll do some reading, and take your recommendation of G&P into consideration. One quick question, does it matter if i use 7 or 8mm bearings? Usually the bigger they are, the stronger they are, so I'd like to go 8mm if it doesn't make a difference.
