anyways.... #1 thats a pretty pretty Micro... I have always wanted to buy one for myself.

Cocker threads would have really helped yrs ago when I had a Sniper2 and MicroCocker...

There is one pic there right? I don't know anything about the trigger frame or anything just that he told me it had: 8" taso barrel and expansion chamber. Here are two others that the guy sent me of it:

I traded two older unibody phantoms that were in ok shape and a SL-68 II brand new. So it has cocker threads? Keep the comments coming guys, thanks... :p

Ahh micromags, I shall soon own one.
Yes, the take cocker threads for the barrels. And of course N2 is recomended over CO2. Its a must if you have a retro valve. If that is indeed a x-chamber, I would recomend scrapping it for a gas-thru grip. Dont get a regulator, just use a regulator on the n2 tank. I think you have the stock double trigger frame on there, and I would sugest an iteliframe, but thoes are a bit expensive (115$) also, LvL 10 is a must, and retro valves are very nice, if it doesnt already have one. I really like that gauge setup on the gun, Ive never seen that done before, but it seems VERY practical and unique to me. That is a nice barrel, if your going for compact, because you have the nice big drop for it as well. If you want a bit more length (and IMO higher quality) barrel, Id recomend a 10" Custom Products, they are cheep too :)

But I dont own my micromag yet, so lets let some other people get their adivce in ;)

I would take off that gauge on the back. It looks to me like you've got a 2x Benchmark trigger frame. Very nice set-up if you ask me. What'd you pay for it?

Yep they have cocker threaded bodies.
Your's look to have the benchmark frame that comes with micro's which tend to have a longer pull than some like but others love.
I would recommend switching out the microline for some macroline. I just don't trust the stuff not to blow on me. If you don't it already I'd recommend a good motorized hopper (12volt minimum) and, if you can afford it and have places to fill it, a nitrogen/air tank. Mags run better off of air than they do CO2. But if you have no alternative than CO2 I'd look into an angled bottomline and a anti-syphon for your CO2 tank.
Also I highly recommend the new level 10 bolt kit for the mag. They make ball chopping almost a thing of the past in case you mess up and shortstroke or outshoot your hopper.

Other than that, you have a right nifty looking gun. Welcome to AO.

Oh and the guy 2 posts above me was none other than mag-inventor Tom Kaye himself. Are'nt we special!:D

Anyone here know how this barrel will work with Blaze? It's FPO and it is very small...what barrels work well with small bore paint on the mag(autospirits?)? Thanks...

It's cocker threads also I have to remember....
