Auto Cocker

One of the most highly used tourney markers, the Autococker is known world wide as one of the best high end performers. Worr Games has many years behind this design. When you look at the design history, you will find that not many changes have occurred with it until this past year. All the new mods save buyers time and money on items that had would be needed before the marker could be fully functional. Some examples are the beavertail, stainless rods, cut bolt, and cut block with 4 ball pin rod. There are a few things that could be different on this marker.

The stock cocker should come with a threaded timing rod. This is the first thing that anyone who buys one should replace. A threaded timing rod and coupler are needed to keep the cocker in time. As everyone who has a cocker knows, timing is everything on the bad boy. The stock timing rod easily comes loose after a few heavy games. Timing rods don't cost that much so we don't understand why this was overlooked.

The next thing that would be nice is a trigger that would fit a 45 frame. The early 97's came with this trigger but it was left out of most of them. Do not mistake what I am saying with a 45 frame. If you ever want to upgrade to a 45 frame you will need to buy a 45 stainless trigger also. The only difference between the stock trigger and the 45 is two cut steps on the bottom of the tigger. The stock trigger only has a sloped edge and is not stepped so plan on adding $20+ to any 45 frame upgrade for the trigger. Due to the step trigger, the stock trigger return spring will not be long enough to work with the 45 frame. You will have to get new springs also. But if you plan to get a 45 frame, you're probably going to get a trigger job anyway.

One last thing that could be different with this marker to make everything great. WGP needs to use larger diameter main springs! The stock main spring is barely wide enough to put the cocking rod through. If you don't change this spring you could end up binding the spring against the rod causing high velocity spikes or even stripping the rod threads. Some $1 Nelson springs would easily fix this problem and make this marker perfect out of the box.
