  • Festus33's FSE-LX

    Every few years on AO someone posts information about the infamous "Festus33" designed body. It was made in 12-14-02, by AO member Festus33. It was one of the first custom slugs designs on AO.

    Well in all truth, it is a one off, I only made two of those bodies. One for Wallace9111, and one for Myself (it's pretty obvious which one was Mine)
    Wallace's had the scallop's cut with a ball end mill on the top facet's, and the chrome No-Rise centerfeed. Mine had clean facet's all around and the black No-Rise.
    Yes the body shown in the PBNation for sale thread Definetly is the one that I machined for Wallace9111. My personal gun was traded to SteveD from Aerostar, then sold I believe on EBay. I semi-retired from paintball about 2yr's ago, then pretty much completely retired this past year. I still have My System X black to blue fade NMe, but have'nt played in about a year and a half. The Wallace9111 body can easily be brought back up to the high polish it had when I shipped it to him originally, with the use of a buffing wheel and some jewelers rouge. It's kind of interesting to see that some folk's still remember where those came from

    Throughout the years, the Festus33 E-mag had been bought and sold and parted on ebay. SummaryJudgement had it for almost 6 years and was recently bought by AOer Bunny. Body was sold locally in Northern VA to a fellow AOer.

    One of these is the PVI shocker which sports the first sterling silver trigger I ever made.
    It's crude, but it helps to show how we've evolved over time.

  • RT Enhancer
    by Maghog
    The RT Enhancer is an after market trigger system designed to accentuate and improve the Automag RT's capabilities. The basic function of the Automag RT is to push back the trigger with more force than the pull utilizing the unique RT Valve developed by Airgun Designs. Generally, the pull weight requires between 3-5 pounds of pressure, and the instantaneous return created by the RT Valve is approximately 6-8 pounds. This sequence is influenced and adjusted by the amount of input pressure from the...
