I currently own a Tippmann Pro/Carbine which I have upgraded to the max. In another couple of years, I hope to upgrade to the next step. For me, that would be either an electro, autococker, or automag. Currently, I'm leaning toward an automag. That said, I'm looking for some advise about which mag to buy.
Right now, I'm looking at the RT Pro, or a Minimag. The E-mag is out of my book becuase of the cost. :(
That leads me to my very first question of the many undoubtedly to follow on this forum: What differences are there between the RT Pro and the Minimag besides the RT valve and that nifty front grip? My original plan was to buy a Minimag and the RT valve, amongst other upgrades, until I realized that the price of a Miniman with the RT valve is equivalant to the price of an RT Pro. Also, I heard that the RT Pro was much more difficult to fix and maintain. At the time I heard that, I knew vertually squat about automags, but now, I'm questioning that statement. Is the RT Pro any more difficult to maintain and fix than, say, the Minimag?
I'd also like to run by you guru's some of the upgrade I plan to purchase (hopefullly!) after I get used to my new RT Pro.
* Barrel. I currently own 5 barrels for my carbine, so I won't need any advise upon which to buy.
* Intelliframe. Basically, I would like a nice, smooth, and short double trigger -- possibly a blade style trigger. I am also intrigued by the option to Intellifeed my 12V revvy.
* Superbolt.
* Drop forward for the Flatline I will hopfully be buying with the RT Pro.
Is there anything I should know about any of these upgrades before purchasing them? Are there any other upgrades that I should look into?
I deeply appreciate any advise! Thanks for your time! :)
