Purpose of this thread is to show off my new mag and also show what a new mag comes with when ordered new from AGD. Also, I have a few questions.
I ordered a Custom RT ULE from their site about 2 weeks ago, just when they ran out of the RT pro rails, so I had to wait for new ones before they built mine. But it shipped two days ago (5/7/08) and arrived at my door today (5/9/08). I am in NY. I've played paintball starting in 1998 when I purchased a Tipp '98. I've used that up to 2003ish when I stopped playing. I've decided this summer to pick it back up, and when shopping for my dream marker (in '98 which was the Automag RT). I was sad to find out I couldn't buy it new, I really liked the black with chrome accents of the sights, etc... Nevertheless, I ordered the RT ULE in all black.
I ordered a black CF body, black intelliframe with blade double trigger, ult kit, x-valve with the level-10. In total, I believe it came to $480 shipped.
Here's what comes in the box:

I ordered the marker without a barrel, as I wanted to buy one that I thought would be nice. (I went with the Deadlywind Fibur 14" barrel with freak inserts. But the marker came in the box, with a bit of oil, allen wrench, shims for I guess the ULT kit and springs for the bolt. One spring is red and the other silver, what do they mean and what are they used for?

After reading a few threads here, and doing general research about how paintball has changed in the past couple years. I went and purchased a 68/4500 Nitroduck tank with an iReg ($175), along with the Nitroduck piston set ($25) so I can swap out the 800psi output for the 1000psi. I chose the nitroduck from reading zakvetter.com site. Also notice the 14" Deadlywind fibur barrel, which is a very very light in weight barrel.

Here is the marker with the Deadlywind barrel ($90 + $12 per freak insert, shipped):

Now some questions I have. I have yet to purchase a hopper, but I am looking at the evolution III with z-board. How does it stay secured on the marker? Just jam it down on the hopper holder and hope for the best? Can I twist the hopper holder off and switch it for one with a clamp?
Also, when the tank is screwed into the marker's stock ASA, I feel I need a bit of a drop forward. Do you know of any small drop forwards, also I would like a on/off on the asa so I will be purchasing one of those. But when I fill the tank tomorrow, without and on/off asa, I just twist it on similar to a CO2 tank on my old Tipp? Here's a pic:

Then, I've read that you should oil the marker before and clean and oil after every day you play. Where do you place the drops of oil? Directly on the pin of the asa and around the threading? I've read to do that, then fire the marker a few times w/o the barrel on to lube the insides of the marker.
Pic of where I think to place the oil:

When I take the marker apart to clean the insides, do I need to apply oil/grease? Which kind do you prefer?
When I choose to change the Nitroduck iReg to 1000psi, will the ULT trigger allow me to rapid fire? And do I need different hose on the marker for the increased pressure?
Thanks for the time, and I'll add to this thread as I learn new stuff, hoping first time mag owners can learn a thing or two as I learn.
