same as w/ xmags and other things. everyone screams about wanting something so it makes it seem there is a high demand for the item. then agd or others go ahead and produce/make available the item in question because of the perceived high demand. then when they are available there's no one to be found w/ any $ willing to spend it on the item. roller trigger anyone??

It's a ULE body. Cocker threaded. Your barrels won't fit it anyway.

tell me people, if they come back with cocker threads is there an adapter of any kind you can use so that you can still use your mag threaded barrel's? if there is where can i get one and how much do they cost?:confused:

Nope.

thump...trust me, you will probably love the vert feed, it lowers your profile and is more comfortable than powerfeed IMO... and the cocker barrels are usually easy to come by and cheap if you have a nearby shop ... ive actually noticed improved accruacy with the threaded barrel, and i think its because it twists in much more securily than the twist locks do...

rikkter , im no writer thats for sure,just glad someone was able to understand what i ment:)

punkcmonkiez,, i have another marker thats vert feed but i do like hopper left more.guess i will just have to get use to vet feed again,,still dont like the idea of haveing to use cocker parts though,the one good thing is cocker barrels are cheap to buy compaired to mag ones:D

Heh... I think im just going to get AGDBrad to mill my Classic RT valve's on/off out for ULT. Other than that, no ULE/X-valve upgrade for me. Doesnt seem worth it in my opinion. Valve is barely worth 100$? I would be all over it if they just gave us a stock 68 Classic powerfeed left and X-valve for cheaper, because I have no use for the Vert.

I got my upgraded RT Classic back from AGD two weeks ago. I just love the center feed, the great balance, the smaller profile, the light weight, and the anti-chop Lvl 10 bolt!

I haven't played in over 4 years so I can't really say how the trigger response is, but I think it's a bit tighter than before. Shooting in my backyard, I was able to hammer on the trigger and not chop a single ball. It did pinch a few times, but I was shooting 4 year old All Star Ball that was a bit bloated. The 4 year old Gator Green Marbs I tried to shoot would just get stuck in the breech. Even my newly aquired Halo B would not force it completely into the breech. I also tried shooting some fresh Zap, and that shot flawlessly.

A question for all your ULE/X-Valve RT users. Is it normal for the Lvl 10 bolt to be visible (down the feed tube) when gassed up? I don't believe it was visible with the Classic RT.

I have pics of my old Classic and the new ULE RT here (http://www.simplygq.com/pb.html). One warning though, it's a bit of a slow connection to the pics.
