just buy a used mag... in the end it would probibly be cheaper... if your doing it as a project then i cant help you.

i would like it lots more if i built it myself. anyways the agd store has bodies(50), stock frame (25), rail ( 40). what else do i need?

or i could get all that minus the stock frame and plus an inteli for 205. but i cant find any valves except the retro. any help?

try getting one of those old funky high rise powerfeed mag bodies in the attic

what you need is a valve, bolt, rail, body, bushing, ttwist lock asst, grip frame, screws and a sear assy

thanks!! thats what i saw the high rise. i think ( i may be wrong though) that the automag rail has the twist lock and bushing. where can i get a valve? there is only the retro at the agd online store.

Tunaman sells used retro valves for 225$ and new micromag valves(same thing as classic) for 250$.

ya, valves are really expencive to buy alone. at 888paintball they are over 300 just for a classic valve. you should buy a used mag or a TKO mag b/c there cheap.

i'm not sure it comes with every thing you would need and i wouldn't put anything non-AGD into your mag

It's been said before, if it's not AGD, DON'T PUT IT IN YOUR GUN!! With the exceptions of paint & air, naturally ;-)

You've gotta check out Rogue, he's great. IMO, right up there w/ Tunaman :D :cool:

A suggestion of mine, if you're going to build one from parts, is to pick up a Power Tube spacer kit. Although, I was told (by someone I work with) that if I have level 10, I won't have to worry about it. Don't know if that's true, but I still bought a spacer kit, just in case.
