    Can we build it? Yes we can! Markers you can build from aftermarket parts

    So, we all know there's some markers out there that can be built entirely, or almost entirely, from non-factory parts.

    The easiest one is the AutoCocker. The longevity of the platform, the built-in modularity and options, and the massive aftermarket over time makes it not only possible, but almost preferable, to build a Cocker from only aftermarket parts.

    What are some of the others?

    CAN BE BUILT ENTIRELY FROM AFTERMARKET
    AutoCocker
    Ion
    Intimidator
    A-5
    Spyder


    CAN ALMOST BE BUILT ENTIRELY FROM AFTERMARKET (and what's needed OEM)
    AutoMag (power tube, air chamber)
    Axe (foregrip, bolt guide, ASA/reg, air chamber, some seals)
    Shocker (SP-origin body)
    Original Impulse (SP-origin body)

    Shocker SFT.

    Possibly an NXT.

    Shocker bodies were all made by SP AFAIK, however the number of aftermarket parts for everything else is staggering.

    Ah, I was thinking of those aftermarket 32 degrees/Hurricane labs, but those were only the back halves. Almost though!

    Original Impulse. Even though SP made most of the aftermarket bodies.

    Can you build an A5 or a 98 Custom with some of the aftermarket mag-fed bodies from the ground up?

    PMR's just needed aftermarket bodies.

    Intimidator.

    Maybe we should be thinking about two categories here - 100% buildable from scratch, and darn near buildable from scratch. For the almost ones, we should have a list of what's needed for OEM parts.

    I think you can build an a-5 from aftermarket. Use the Rap4 mag fed kit, and there's plenty of aftermarket internals.
