I was trying to keep an old school feel to it. My last mag was a first year classic RT. But I spiraled off into hard core tourney ball in the days before the L10 bolt and sub 3k fills by finals, more like 2.2k to be honest, were the norm. So I left mags behind for a long time.

But I took this classic valve gal out and abolutely torched the feild yesterday. Felt so good, 1st time out in near a year. 15 on 15 hyperball and took 8 straight. Switched up teams a number of times and I was getting my 4 - 8 each game. Only manual gun on field. Maybe a pump gun is in order.

The rt crown point doesn't squeege easily. Maybe a new barrel, definately something smaller bore. I did an ego feed neck mod on an Emag bod to save cash. That's a copper pipe bushing to take up space. Works great and looks ok. Couldn't stand the sloppy trigger so polished out some brass shims to fill the gap. Unfortunately I'm out running my Revi.

I'm hoping to go with an ajustable tank reg eventually so I can rout the airline through the grip and cap the valve.

Custom stuff is fun. Glad you are out magging it up again!
