Tippmann Boss Question

[l2bravo]

Is there any preference in the aluminum machines or the cast ones? Is there a difference in price, or performance?

Just looking at used machines, and didn't know. Thank you guys for any help you may be able to give, Josh

I have an aluminum one and used it for about 7-8 years before it needed repairs.

I bought a Cowboy CB4500 , but I still have the BOSS and I will probably never get rid of it. Great machine !!!!

From a weight standpoint the cast iron is heaver. The Aluminum version has had some updates to it over the years. There seems to be a nostalgia for the Cast Iron but I prefer the Aluminum version as it is a little lighter and tends to run a little bit better. Either one is a good machine. You can always get the Iron one updated at the factory. Its not that expensive.

Short answer, The really isnt that much of a difference to make a person switch from one to the other. It's more personal preference.

Michael,

FYI I have had an AL one for almost 6 years. Love it.

I've had my aluminum one for about 8 years, . . . had to take it back once for a problem we could not diagnose any other way.

Turned out to be a slipped disc so to speak, . . . was not charged for service call as it was covered under the warranty.

It'll probably be sold in my estate after I turn room temperature.

May God bless,

Dwight
