Hey guys. I've got.....1,2,3...6 guns right now.

Since I am too weak of a person to decide which to keep on my own, I turn to AO to make my decisions for me.

My arsenal:

-Black unmilled Excalibur, old board, old noids, low rise and black razor trigger. It's at AKA right now getting fixed, i'll have it back shortly.

-Flame trix. Doesn't really work right, if I can't fix it soon I'm sending it away. It either has shoot up or shoot down and bothers the hell out of me, but the trigger is uber sweet :). Has red bolt kit, all the kapp fixin's, NDZ asa and CP foregrip reg.

-Super Light Mag. Has an intelli on the way, ULE body, ULE trigger, PB Daddy 15* foregrip and stock rail, if I keep i'll get a cool rail for it.

-Crazy ivan annoed bushy. Lots of upgrades....ripper frame, no rise, tantrum/chaos chip, gladiator. This stupid thing doesn't work right cuz it shoots too fast for it's own good. I'll get her working once I get some new paint that doesnt break in the barrel if you look at it the wrong way.

-Trusty Electro spyder. This thing rules, I'm telling you. Trustiest gun of the bunch. I'm tempted to keep it cuz it's not worth much, it shoots like crap sorta, but I like it and when I'm playing rec It's niice to have a gun i dont have to mess with, once the mag's complete i suppose the mag could take over for it, but for now I like her :)

-Broken STO cocker. Got it for dirt cheap yesterday. Needs a 3 way. Got a few upgrades I haven't validified yet like freeflow valve, don't havea valve tool and don't care too much. It's a nice feeling gun overall, but i aint a cocker guy.

Sell the cocker for sure, its funky looking. Specially if you dont even like it to begin with. The Ex and Matrix are very similar style guns in that theyre large uber-electros, so ditch the matrix for the ex, and keep the bushy, mag, and spyder.

Keep the trix, and the excal (and mabey the mag if you feel that you really need 3 guns...i dont) Then sell all the rest, get your preety rail for the mag, ups for the viking, and get the trix fixed with the money.

also, if you sell any, PM me, im interested in the mag, bushy, and cocker

Well, I would say the bushy (once it works nice) and the mag, but hey, I sold an emag to get a ULE mag... :P I love that bushy so much.. I would take it off your hands if I had 500 to spend :)

Get rid of the STO, piranah, excal, and bushy. With the money from those, put all the best parts on the matrix and keep the mag for backup. Or sell them all and buy a hella nice gun with everything you want.

Sell everything but the Mag. Pimp the mags out.
Buy a new Viking that WAS'd out with eyes,covers, different anno. Maybe look over on PBN at the Destructive Customs Viking, or wait and see if stevehoward on the PBN makes his cutom Ripper-Strange Type Viking.

Bonebrake is rumored to be making a new Viking also with new AKA parts.

keep the ex, trix, and mag. Ditch the rest. Although the bushmaster is quite cool, besides the wierd anno job.

Keep the Excal. Dump the 'trix. Both are comparable and since the excal will be fixed and the trix wont, keep the Excal.
Bushy, how popular are those? Prolly not too popular for a reason. Dump that, youve got a nice excal that would whoop the bushy.
Electro spyder? Who are we foolin here, unload that as well. It doesnt even belong with the rest of that group.
The cocker, it looks pretty nice actually, Id keep that. Everyone has to have a cocker at one point or another. Looks like you got some good upgrades for it already too. It'll make a good reliable backup.
That leaves you with only two. I suppose keep the mag since this IS a mag forum. That will definetely be old faithful. From the money left of the unloaded items maybe you can make it more comfortble to play with, with a new grip for the Mag.
(Even though I had to play all day today with a stock single trigger which was pretty darn comfy)

Here's what ya do, excals at AKA right now right? Tell them to hold on to it for a while, til you can sell some guns.

Sell your bushy, spyder and trix. That will give you a buttload of cash to have the WAS board, eyes, new solenoids and if you really want, soda can mod (though its not really worth it, IMHO).

Keep the mag and cocker, because its nice to have a mag that will always work (say, in the rain when you don't wanna risk the excals electronics) a cocker than will almost always work, but is more fun to fool around with an such.

Hell, with the extra cash you can upgrade the mag and cocker to make them shoot even nicer.

sell them all and get 1 really really really nice viking with all the goods like an immortal or something. it doesnt need a backup because its so reliable and requires such little maintenance. it also performs better than pretty much every other gun out there in ever way. if u like closed bolt guns then get a new excal. just sell all those guns. its pointless to have that many. just get 1 gun that rips and is reliable at the same time.(ie viking/excal).

everything but the trix and maybe excal

Nice responses guys :D

Only thing is, I'd love to sell a few and get a sick viking or something, but any money I sell is going to insurance, new wheels, exhaust, or chip maybe, maybe some rust fixing and body work for my ride, or in the bank for the "When Sammy needs a new vr6" fund.



Here's my thinking. After AKA gets done with it, the excal will be a great performer, with room to improve with new solenoids, WAS, and eyes. I wanna keep it around.

The trix is certainly a looker and it's ungodly fast, but I might send it in to get tuned to perfection and try and sell it for like 900-1000 bucks or so. Everyone's unloading their gear now so that may have to wait for christmas time when the market is good. It'll be hard to part with but Besides its UBER PRETTINESS its hard to keep such an expensive gun around that doesn't always shoot like 900 bucks.

The mag I'm keeping around. I can't sleep at night and it always seems to rain when there's no mag under sam's roof ;)

The cocker's gonna go. I need a new 3 way for it, but I don't want a cocker right now, it was too cheap to pass up.

The bushy I'm gonna try and sell for like 575 bucks or so. It'd be a shame to sell for less, as it's blazing fast and lots of money went into it. If I get desperate this would be the 1st thing I'd mark down to like 500 and agressively try to sell.

The spyder is excellent as a loaner gun I can lend a newbie friend or someone at the field, know it will work, and not have to worry about them hurting it. It's also not worth as much as some of the barrels I have for the other guns, so unless my house burns down and I need money for food, I wouldn't mind keeping it around.

Anything else you guys wanna say? :)

How much you looking for the Cocker? Don't even worry about fixing it.
