First time out with new 'mag

[Gadget]

Got the chance to play with my newly built x-valved 'mag at the weekend.

Have had a lot of AGD markers in the past and still have my first .68 from 1993, but have been running Angels for the last few years in tournaments. A scenario day gave me the excuse to build a new mech and despite having to get everything shipped from the US to the UK, it was all pretty painless.

Had a great time playing mech again, valve was a bit stiff at the start of the day but was loosening up nicely in the afternoon after having a few cases run through it. No chops or breaks, so looks like I tuned the L10 ok!

Was good to see quite a few other AGD markers there - saw at least two other X-valved mags plus a lovely camo anodised E-Mag, surprising considering there's no direct AGD sales in the UK since the demise of AGD Europe.

Here's my beauty - major props to Roguefactor for sending me all the parts I needed in doublequick time, gotta love the quality of the RPG parts!

Mech mags are without a doubt (especially Xvalved ones) THEE most fun markers to play with.

I would guess the distance of a paintball is equal to any other marker out there at the same velocity.

I would think the distance one can run with this set up depends on if you are a girlie man or not :p

That's an outstanding Mag! Kudo's :headbang:

lol well i've been running a 99 autococker i bought brand new waaaaaaaaay back when that i grew up with and i used to outdistance all sorts of things anymore it's like everything does about the same hahahah. i wanted to buy an RT real bad back in the day but never could muster up the funds needed to buy one. now that i'm starting to play more again i've been looking at the RT's all over again :headbang:

Hey Andy,

I currently live in the US but will be moving back to the UK early next year, I am also traveling back through the UK later this year, so could play contraband courier if needed.

I currently have three Mags, where do you guys play?

Thanks for the comments - simbad, let me know if you're arranging a group buy of spares, as I'll be up for that.

No problem with distance - only things outranging me were people with apex/flatline barrels....oh and the cheats running at 320fps when the site limit was 280! :rolleyes:

[Seth1784]

very nice, i get a hard time from two buddies with flatlines all the time anymore. thanks for the reply too :cheers:
