Here's a list of what i have:

1 Valve
2 Body (p/f)
3 trigger frame with double trigger and grips
4 t-lock barrel
5 air source
6 hopper

is there any thing else that i need or might find useful. and does anyone know of where i can find an "ano" kit?

Why go twist lock barrel & body? The ULE will reduce the weight and allow you to choose from a VERY large size of cocker threaded barrels.

You'll also need some misc screws as well as the rail bushing & rail.

a mag is made up with the
1. valve
2. body
3. rail
4. trigger frame.
Then obviously you need...
ASA, hose, airsource, barrel, and hopper.

what does a rail do for my mag? and what are rail bushings?

a rail is what the body and valve sit on and what the trigger frame is attached to. Also the 2 screws that keep the gun together go through the rail.
whoops, also forgot you need a sear. so you need a...
body, valve, rail, sear, trigger frame, air hose, ASA, barrel, hopper, and air source.

a sear is what pushes the on of pin to fire the gun , so yes you most definetly need a sear.

ill draw you a paint animation that will explain this real fast

Talk to Tunaman about everything. He's a great guy and knows everything there is about 'Mags and more. He fixed some stuff for me.

when you pull the trigger it hits the sear, which hits the bolt causing it to fire. Tunaman probably has a sear, but if not I know that rogue does.

It's about 15 bucks for a new sear assembly.

Actually the trigger hits the trigger rod, which is attached to the sear and pivots on the sear pin, the teeter-totter motion activates the on/off valve, which releases and fires the bolt.

hey guys, thanks for everything i got a couple more Q's.
i've heard the the LX bolt is awsome and all
but i havn't heard if it works well with a classic valve. i've only heard that they go w/ rt's and X vavles. so if ya can help me out it would be appreciated greatly. i know x-valves rock, but it's just a back up gun to my omen (for now)

and if anyone is selling one (LX) , the complete set springs and all. post here.
my price is around 35-40. i've seen them new for $60 even though they are normaly $80

Thanks!!!!!!

You heard wrong. It was the ULT that didn't always play well with the classic valve. The Level 10 works with ANY AGD gun/valve.

You will need a:
Rail Assembly (Rail, bushing, Twistlock assembly, sear pin)
Body
Valve Assembly (Bolt, Spring, Regulator, On/Off Assembly, Bolt spacer, Valve, etc)
Barrel (Most bodies use twistlocks. Some Emag bodies and all ULE/Sluggo bodies use cocker threads)
Trigger frame (Trigger, Trigger Pin, Grips, Safety)
Sear Assembly (Sear, Sear Pin)
Automag Foregrip or Automag ASA Adaptor + Gas-Thru Grip
Quick-Strip Thumbscrew
Front trigger-Frame screw
Bottomline ASA
Air hosing/Fittings
Air or co2 tank.

Anno kits usually cost more than the anno would itself. And its hard to anno and somewhat unsafe. An anno kit will run $150 and up, plus the cost of an electrical source. You can get an anno done at http://www.atmf.com/ for very cheap ($45 for single color, $110 for splash, etc) and they do a great job. Doc Nickel and Bob Long do their annos through them, and I've recommended them to several people and I'm considering an anno soon. I've seen a few in person, and they looked great.

Not true. Level 10 doesn't work on Sydarms and field rental Automags.

ok, i got everything and am putting it togther, so far so good. then i relized i need a pin that holds the sear assembly in place. i thought i had the right one but, i need a half-cricle shape sear lock pin to fit my rail. so i put an allen wrench in it to hold it in place temporrarily, got it all hooked up, then put on the gas and guess what LEAK, i though it was from the make-shift sear pin lock, but it turms out that it was coming from the inside of the bolt. so if you can help please post!!!

i'm so close to building my first mag!!!!! thanks!!!
