Boydster's Automag

[Boydster]

Bought this off of eBay for 123 bucks. Here it is originally. The guy lives in Houston as I do so I went to pick it up locally and saved some money on shipping. Several things have changed like my new wooden hand grips, level ten bolt(I'll tell you the story on this later), Empire Reloader(already had), drop forward(Already had), braided steel hoses which actually turned out to be the EXACT sizes I needed, and an X-Core to replace the gas thru and cheap expansion chamber that came with it. I have the Reactor on/off installed in the valve. This came with the level ten.

I cut the feed neck down to keep the hopper lower. I plan on getting a vertical feed body because the elbow really makes me mad. I'm probably not going for a ULE body because I'd need all new barrels and I'm not sure how that shiny thing would look on this stock rail.

The grips look awesome IMHO. They add a touch of class and the color of the wood looks great with the sand blast finish on the main body.

Two barrels came with this. A 12 inch SP Progressive and a 12 inch Dye Xcel barrel. I'm liking the Progressive more as of now. But I haven't got onto the field yet with this. I've just tested it in my backyard.

I have an HPA tank but I mainly use CO2. CO2 gives me SOOO many more shots than the HPA tank. I just pictured the HPA tank so no one can tell me I need to step up and buy one. The wooden grip frame is meant for an RT so I had to do some modifications to get it to work right. Not interested in getting an X-Valve. I don't want to shoot that fast. No where near that fast in fact. Paint costs too much. My 6 bps is suiting me fine. I'm pretty much forcing myself to conserve paint...

And here it is!....

Comments?

EDIT: Oops. Forgot to tell the level ten story. I bought it off of eBay and it was supposed to be a gift from my parents. Well, I met the mail lady and secretly installed it and put my level 7 in the box. he he he lol They will never know. I just have to act excited on Christmas. IDK. I'm feeling kind of guilty. I might put it back. Would you??? It has been put back in box and given to mother. Phewh! I feel SO much better!
EDIT again: As you can see, I had to add washers imbetween the grip frame and drop to keep it from hitting the X-Core when I unscrew the on/off.

You put a WGP drop on an AGD product!? Sacrilege. But I'll have to confess that I did the same until recently and had the exact same interference problem (Rogue 15° ASA).

Looks pretty good, but don't you need a trigger guard?

[i_baked_cookies]

thats one of the nicest looking classic mags ive ever seen.

Aww... Really? :cry: ;) Thanks.

Destructo6, I don't think I need a trigger guard. First off, it had to be cut off to accommodate this double trigger because it's the stock single trigger frame. My field allows Tippy RT's and I saw a guy there without a trigger guard once. I guess they don't care or are just lazy.

Nice. I recommend(if you like them), an I frame, Xvalve, and a nice black ULE body!

what's wrong with WGP, other than the K2 thing?

[WARPED1]

I like WGP myself, I used to hate cockers, now I want another one.

[JoshK]

I dont like them, and ive owned two. Im getting the gun ive wanted forever on tues or wed. A mag. btw...does anyone know if you can shoot the hyper frame without actually shooting the gun(without having air)? Off topic i know. But i wanna know.

All the stuff I don't want lol. I don't want to shoot fast(X-Valve), my new wood grip frame is my fav over an intelliframe, and I don't want to buy another barrel if I buy a ULE body. Plus I like the sandblast finish on mine. It goes well with the wood.

I forgot to list the easy to read specs. Main post has been edited.

[WARPED1]

I love mags, just "like" cockers! :p I've owned 3 mags in my career, and 5 cockers:)
Mags are a freat buy, especially for that $123. First thing you should replace IMO, is the trigger frame.

[Boydster]

Trigger frame stays. Definitely. That's my favorite part about this new set-up.

It was a joke. You didn't catch that I used to have the exact same drop on my Classic Mag?

Watch the parts swaps, they can get out of hand. I started with a Rogue VA to clear the same drop you have and I'm alread on version 7, with very few parts remaining from the original setup.

nice mag :dance:
very orginal

I don't understand what you're saying. Version 7 ?... What's a Roge VA BTW?

Thanks for your good comments!

Version 1 ---> swap frame ----> Version 2 ---->...-----> Version 7. The valve is about the only part remaining from the Automag I purchased a little less than a year ago.

"RogueFactor" offers a 15° VA for the classic style rails. They're quite nice, as are his other items.

That's pretty cool. But wouldn't that put it to the side? Anyways, I've got my problem fixed with the washers.

[Irelandunfree]
