Hey Bro

Well this about the best place to find out how to build a mag.There's many experienced mag owners here.

http://www.automags.org

http://store.airgun.com

There is many other dealers in the dealers forum that have new parts for sale as well, that will help you build your new baby.

By the way Welcome To The Forums

starting from the top down....
1. Pick a Automag body you want, then based on the body, pick your hopper/feed system
2. Pick your valve: X, RT, Classic
3. Pick your Barrel
4. Pick your rail: AM/MM, E-mag, Tac-One, Rogue, ETC. Make sure you get appropriate sear and sear bushing, rail sear and barrel twist lock assymbly.
5. Pick your trigger frame: I-Frame, Z-grip, Y-grip, Stock, Rogue Frame, Dye Frame, Devil Frame, Hyper Frame, etc
6. Pick a foregrip (if you wan one)

hope dis helps. good luck...

Those 2 pages are the reason I started with mags....

just the way that the mag goes together and isn't overly complicated (a sign of good engineering!), also I'm one of these people that feel that function comes before form!

good luck in your quest!

frame: 120
x valve: 225
ule: 145
thats already 500 right there
ult: 50
foregrip: 30
asa: 30
rail: 120
clamping feedneck: 30
thats 760 and all you have is a mech automag

go to airgun.com and you can build automags on their website it costs 500 for an automag rt pro custom with a ult and an intelli

i suggest getting a devil mag because they are such a great deal (devilsden.tv) only 900 and they have vert fame and eyes and clamping feedneck (check dealers forum)

I am not suggesting that he buy parts separately, just showing a resource that has a lot of valuable information, I believe that article was written prior to AGD having RT Custom for sale with scroll down options menu.

thanks for the welcome yogster.

and noahyay, are those list or street prices?

["the FitZ"]

actually for him the xvalve would be 325 b/c he's not trading in a valve. And those are store prices. The rail however can be had for 70 from coolhand.

If you go to the classifieds a lot of good used parts can be found. Like Xvalves I've seen for around 200 and Intelliframes for 60-70. ULE bodies go for 90 or so all depending on condition. And go to the dealer's section and read up on the stuff they sell. O and welcome to AO.
