Razorbacks were manufactured
circa 1989 - 1992 by WWP. MSRP new - $189.98
to $199.98.
They were frequently
used as rental guns at early fields, along with Nelspot 007's, CMI Thunderpigs,
SL-68's and some Taso 'guns like the Spartan. Razorbacks came stock with
a CA adapter, allowing you to either use a 12 gram quick changer or constant
air. They came with direct feed breech and a thick bull barrel up to 14"
long. Velocity was controlled by adjusting the hammer & valve springs.
The bolt had no anti-kinking sleeve, but used a metal double-arm pump handle
to prevent binding. They use the standard Nelson- based firing mechanism,
but the valve tube is discernably larger. Razorbacks came with a
Lone Star Ordinance (M-16) grip. They also came with an auto
trigger to allow it to compete with the fast-rising number of semi's that
began dominating the fields in the early 90's. These markers came in 3
versions I know of: the Razorback, the Razorback II, and the Razorback
III.
One more thing that
set them apart- the teflon coating on both the exterior & interior
surfaces of the 'gun.
