So, I recently picked up an 06 Empire II for a good price, the previous owner said that it needed a new solenoid. Got a new solenoid, messed with the pressure, didn't work - went through and relubed/replaced all the orings, didn't work - so I decided to drop it off at a shop near school and the owner is Darren, Bob Long's Tech-Truck driver. He tore the gun down, replaced everything with other parts from another empire II, and he said he was stumped because he couldn't get it to work. He talked to another BLAST tech and he thought the body was bent. So Darren called up Bob Long and told him about it and Bob is gonna meet up with Darren this weekend at Hunington Beach and look at my gun personally. I guess that if the body is bent, Bob is going to replace the body for free! So, I'm pretty pumped that Bob Long is gonna fix my intimidator himself haha - Has anyone else ever had a problem with a bent body??

yea i hope, i have a friend that has a gen 4 infamous and he said it works like a dream and he loves it. and the infamous and empire 2 are pretty much identical so it should work great for u once u get this straightened out.

Wow.. never heard of a bent body before.. at one point there was a thread on pbn regarding gen4 that was slightly improperly machined but Bob Long rectified the situation for the buyer so I'm not surprised that he'd take a look at your marker and possibly offer a free replacement body.

BLAST FTW :cheers:
