For a ULE mag you'd need:

Valve + Bolt Assembly
Body w/ Detent
Body Rail
Trigger Frame
Sear Assembly
Washer and C-Clip
Field Strip Screw
Front Frame Screw

Let's see the cost:
X-Valve w/ Lvl 10 = $325 new / $250 used
ULE Body = $135-145 new / $120 used
AM/MM Rail = $20-30 used
Intelliframe/Y-Frame = $110-115 new / $90-100 used
AM/MM Sear Assembly = $15 new / $10 used
Washer and C-Clip = $2.50
Field Strip Screw = $8
Front Frame Screw = $1

Total = $616.50-641.50 new / $501.50-521.5 used

I'd just order a brand new RT ULE Custom.

washer and c-clip?

you would only need a washer and c-clip if you were buying an aluminum body that did not already have these installed.

The ULE and all of the Deadlywind bodies have the washer and c-clip already in place.

I bought my RT ULE Custom directly from www.airgun.com . It cost me $544 including shipping. It came with the Xvalve, Intelli frame with Dye stickies and blade trigger, ULE trigger kit, J&J 2 piece. I just used it yesterday and it was awesome. I really need an electronic hopper bad. It outshoots the regular hopper with ease. No surprise there. I would suggest just going with this, unless it is too much and you wanna try to find a used one. :shooting:

ALL i want is a tac one with the ule trigger pull kit installed i am surprise they did not offer that as a option they could keep the barrel. so right now i am stuck between ordering a tac one or a rt ule custom.

i could order the tac one and buy the ule trigger pull kit for 47.00 plus the tac one for 453 which in total would cost 500.

or i could order the rt custom with the ule trigger kit install and the following do dads:

Select an X-Valve : Black
Select a Mainbody : ULE CF Black Mainbody
Select a Gripframe : Intelliframe Blade Flat Black
Select a Barrel : No Barrel
Trigger/Valve/On/Off Type : ULE Trigger Pull Kit/Installed
Delivery Signature : Signature on Delivery
Freight Insurance : Insurance

for 462.00 but that is with out the barrel

they should offer the tac one without a barrel and offer a ule trigger pull kit instead. that to myself seems more valuable.

Sorry about the washer and clip thing. My mistake. I didn't know the bodies came with em. Also, where are you getting a classic valve for $40 southpark? I thought they went for $80-100 used with a lvl 7 bolt.

They regularly go for that if you ask around in the classifieds.

They regularly go for $40 or for $80-100?

40 bucks, go search classic valves and u can look at the prices people are selling them for.

I bought a stock, used Classic Valve for $40 shipped several weeks ago specifically to trade it in for an X-Valve. A Classic Valve w/ the Level 10 bolt will go for between $80-$100 though, which works out to about $40 for the valve, $55 for the bolt kit, and maybe $5 for the high pressure regulator piston (required to run a Level 10 on an old valve).
