upgrades in general

[CONFIRMEDKILL]

I have a minimag. The minimag, when bought stock was better then a stock automag, correct me if I am wrong, because of its valve and bolt. Well, I was thinking about getting an x-valve for my gun when I started to think, wouldnt that defeat the purpose of buying a minimag, when I could have just bought an automag, which is cheaper, and replace the inexpensive valve and bolt? Isnt a minimag, a minimag, because of its valve and bolt? If I put in an x-valve, doesnt that just make it an automag with an x-valve? Or is there more of a difference bettween a minimag and an automag?

if you bought it brand new from say AGD's website or something then the difference is the body (minimag has the vent things), and that the minimag comes stock with a VA where as the automag does not.

The valves are the same with different names engraved.
