Carter Comp

The Carter Comp was a .68-calibre pump-action paintball marker made by Earon Carter through Carter Machine. It used an under-cocking pump mechanism. A Skan-Line advertisement in the September 1988 issue of Action Pursuit Games documents the model on sale by that date.[1][2]

Design and configurations

The advertised configuration had an aluminium body, a 10½-inch barrel, wooden grips, an angled gravity-feed tube and a quick-change CO₂ cartridge system. Skan-Line listed it at US$379.99.[1]

Carter Machine offered different configurations, including stock-class feed and constant air. A customer writing on M. Carter Brown documented a removable-barrel Comp made to order in 1996.[2][3]
