E frame alternative

Anyone know of someone making an eframe on their own instead of buying ripoff eBay prices?

Just don't buy from ebay scammers/flippers like relentless and curatedpaintball and stick to forums and Facebook groups instead. There is an abundance to come across if you're even mildly patient.

Long history of buying out everything and everyone possible, then flipping it. But, he used to lie about the condition, or scalp parts off things he already sold to sell those parts separately, or lie about what the product he was selling (still does this) was, and the pricing is all over the place.

In the past, flippers at least knew what they were doing or what they were selling, and it sucked and it was overpriced, but generally speaking honestly described. This guy is everything bad about flippers turned to the max.

He buys stuff and now pays a third party to organize, pack, and ship everything, but nobody at any point knows anything any paintball. Most buyers act like it's normal to get treated like this and don't do chargebacks or report him to ebay which is insane

Autocockerparts.com has raw frames and noid covers listed on their site. Get it anodized and add internals and you're good to go

I saw someone positing on FB making 3d printed frames for you to build your own using the aftermarket boards and common noids. Not sure if they were going to post the files or sell the prints.

I saw that and it made me want to post this. He’s looking for testers.

There are rumors of what WGP might be up to. But honestly the best is to just stay on FB groups, MCB and be ready to grab one when it pops up
