Zmag from scratch

[Seksi]

I need some help. I am thinking of building a custom mag from the ground up starting with a z body then getting a trigger frame and the such. I have two main problems.
1) is the z body worth it? "does t really work man?"
or should i look into something different
2) this is silly but what exactly are all the parts i would need to have to fully assemble a zmag or other mag. I know many people dont want to list their customs so any generals would help. I also heard that it is somewhat cheaper to custom make one then buy one out right how true is that? O and last but not least about how much do u guys think a full setup would cost me

ok im done, thanks again to any and all help
flame away if u like it doesnt bother me

Yea, the Z body works.

If you were making a regular 68AUTOMAG, it would be cheaper just to buy a new one. It is like $200 for the valve, $100 for the body, and then at least $20 for the grip. That is $320, and you don't have everything you need yet.

last time i checked 888paintball.com had lots of mag parts. everything you'd need to make an automag from the factory parts such as sears and on/off pins and all the screw types to aftermarket parts like bolts and grip frames. good luck with building your new mag.

yea thats for that inof but im looking for info more along the lines of exaclty what i will need to do it like what are all the parts and possibly assembly (but thati may be able to have taken care of by a smith) looking to try and set it up for 500 or less if possible if not o welp i guess i will have to dive into the wallet a lil extra
