Hey Surfer,

I recently ordered that exact setup. I'm adding a PMI Perfect dropforward and a J&J Ceramic barrel to it. I don't think you can find a better deal on an Automag. I added everything up from PBgear's price list and if you bought everything seperately it would run about $100 more.

Mine's due to arrive tomorrow, and I'm about to go crazy waiting for the weekend to arrive. The weather better cooperate!

Good luck with your purchase! I think you'd be very happy with the TKO automag!

This looks to be a decent deal for what you get, but you might be better suited getting a classic 68 powerfeed and adding your own upgrades at your own pace.
All you're really getting out of this package is a vertical ASA adapter and a macroline setup, it fails to say you're getting a barrel or a gas thru, which are pictured above the description.
Check your local retailers and you'll probably find a good deal on just a stock Mag. Upgrades can vary in price quite a bit, so you can do some bargain hunting from there.

The only difference between that and a Minimag, is the minimag has the longer body. Otherwise you just bought a mini with a gas-thru and barrel. The mini however, is 388.88 at 888-paintball.com

Good choice

i bought that TKO package about 3 weeks ago and i love it :D. i got a shocktech drop with it. it can come with a variety of barrels like, stock RT, tear drop ect... all the barrels cost about the same. its a great deal and worth it

that seriously has to be the most popular automag setup around. one of my frineds bought that so he could be on our team a lil while ago. and since I've been on AO I've seen about 20 topics like this. IMO i think its a great deal.

just my $.02

hey, thanks a lot for all the input. ive got a few more q's for any one who has bought this set up: what kind of drop forward should i get?, cause i hear that the gas thru grip gets in the way.
and do i need to get a different gas thru grip?

-thanks

I got a TKO too.. :( Guess everyone has one. Not like mine though :D Anyway I am very impressed with the setup I got. I think I paid like 599$ with a 3k flatline tank with the gun. So its a very good deal. Have fun with it.. no copying :P

can anyone tell me what kind of drop forward is on nilloc93's gun, and what kind of foregrip too??

Not sure about the drop, but the grip is short enough to be a System X, or KAPP.

PM him and ask him.

The gas thru grip and drop forward on the Mag in my signature are both from Fighter X Sports. Both are great upgrades and exceptionally priced.

It's too bad they dont have the automag nitro bundle anymore. Thats what I got.That had to be the best deal- a mag, progressive barrel, 3k flatline, macro, and fittings for only 419.99, Im glad i got it when i did!
