my first custom 'mag

[shorty24]

i just finished building my first custom automag (believe it or not, this gun started as a stock 68 Classic), and was feelin' the urge to show it off - wondered what you guys thought. it took me 6 months of solid work to pay off this baby, and i know it's not the best out there, but i would like to see what the experts had to say about it.

-retro valve, black minimag vert feed body, black-to-red evil pipe barrel, angel reg, shocktech drop-forward @ on/off, and i have an Evo II hopper, and a 68/3000 pure energy preset.
(i also did a little custom job on the trigger)

Its looking good; one of the best "I worked all summer to build a budget mag" mag that I have ever seen :cool:

You definitely need to sell that reg and put on a foregrip though; its not good to double reg a mag. Good choice on not putting a ridiculous drop forward on it as well.

Try to get an intelliframe, and you will be set.

2 questions


do you have a barrel adapter inside there or is that a mag threaded pipe?

and

why are you running a reg your mag?

[DiSoRdeR]

New grip frame and you will be ready to tear up the field :D More pics! lol

[Chronobreak]

woah high rise EEK! :eek: nice looking..u have one of docs thread adaptors?and a reg....bleh

[shorty24]

yeah...i've been hearing i should get rid of the reg, so thanks. and yes, that is a 'cocker threaded barrel - i have one of doc's cocker inserts. btw, what exactly does an intelliframe do? (i'm fairly new to the 'mag business). thanks for the compliments, that makes me feel great about my baby :D !

[Chojin Man]

the intelliframe puts a switch in the frame that is hooked up to your revvy. so that the revvy agitates everytime the gun is fired.

With a few parts from Radio shack you can hook it up to a revy. Every time you pull the trigger it will activate the rotor in the revy. Here is a Picture (http://store.airgun.com/images/product/large/lg_74.jpg)

EDIT: Nooo, Chojin Man you beat me by a couple secounds...

Ya, but the real reason for buying an I frame is just how good of a frame it is. Solid built, METAL, and has a nice trigger.

[amoeba]

hey i like those minireg looks

[kse]

Hey shorty i knew you would post it here. its kyle from holidays glad you like. hope to see you on aug 28th :) :dance: :dance:

What is wrong with you?
It's got the black on the rear of the valve. It could very wel be an emag valve, Or an RT valve

[WenULiVeUdiE]

Cant be an emag valve. Emag valve's are grayish, and that is black.
But take off your minireg, it is reducing the flow rate, and it may be starving your valve.

[Konigballer]

Get Doc or somebody to cut down that hi-rise and that thing would be one sweet minimag. :cool:

[shorty24]

sup, kyle!!! hoped i would find you here. for everyone else, i'm new to this website, kyle from holiday's showed it to me. and btw, WenULiVe, you're right...that's not a RT or E-mag valve on this pic, it's simply a lab hurricane rear. the pic i posted is slightly outdated - i got a Retro valve just after i took this pic...it's more of a grayish color. and just out of curiosity, what exactly is the difference between the RT valve and the Retro valve? (b/c it is a retro valve i have, not a RT)

and just to let you all know, i just used the gun for the first time - tonight- in it's current setup (i just got back), and the thing is a BEAST!!! that barrel shoots through PERFECTLY clean in two shots!! and it's DEAD accurate - put 4 out of 4 right down a guy's side from about 20 yards.

here's the rest of those pics...

[Konigballer]

how good does the barrel adapter work, is there any wobble at all?

[shorty24]

a little wobble, but that is fixed w/ a small piece of electrical tape.

[Thermus]

Nice mag... If I were you, I'd sell the reg and get an intelliframe. They do make a huge difference in the look.

[peewee]

Sleek , clean line. I like it. No trouble with the Doc's adapter wit the center feed? :cool:

[Automaggot68]

Couldn't be an emag Valve...Pfft. Those are GREYish...THAT one doesn't look greyish.. :rolleyes:
:cheers:

[toymyster]

Hey, nicely done, nice touch with the vert. Mini body!!! It's sleek and all business!!! And good for you for actualy working to buy the parts instead of whining to mom and dad!!!

[AGDlover]

a lvl10 is your friend asking you to buy him. other than that....your trigger frame really isn't turny leagle...... ULE bodys are nice....and....you don't need that reg. now if ya want i have a Gass through w/ vert asa if ya want it its yours(for a small price)

[tony3]

did you gut the minireg?
