    Got my first Mag, have a question

    So a few days ago I got my first Mag. It has a 68 Classic valve and LVL7 bolt, but it's in an RT Pro body. I don't know what kind of barrel it has but unfortunately I have no good pictures to help identify it. Anyway it's working fine and I got it for $100 (Canadian) for the Mag itself, a feed elbow, a little bottle of Extreme Rage oil, a Shocktech drop and complete bottomline setup (fittings and macro), and a Dynasty barrel bag that was supposedly signed by Alex Fraige at some point but is now worn off. I've aired it up and tested it and it works fine. I've just been playing around with it, taking it apart and looking at how it works, and decided to take out my old Tippmann 98 Custom Pro and I can't even stand the feel of the old Tippy anymore .

    Anyway, the guy who sold the Mag to me didn't use the RT sightrail and ended up losing the mounting screws for it (all six). Also, one of the screws for mounting the foregrip rail is stripped. So all in all, I need seven of those screws. Anyone know where I can buy those screws and how much they cost? The sightrail won't be very useful, but it looks cool, and I'd rather be able to keep it on the Mag just so I don't lose it somewhere. Any help here would be much appreciated.

    EDIT: Alright someone at SpecOps pointed me toward the screws I need at AGD's site (right before I checked there myself ), so that problem's solved. So now this thread is more of an introduction I suppose.

    You could get the screws on AGD's site, but you could also probably find them at a local hardware store for less than a dollar. Just disassemble your gun (they usually don't take kindly to people bringing paintball guns into public places like that) and bring in the sight rail and the rail. Find the area where they sell individual screws, and just look around until you find the right thing.

      I believe they are 8-32 or 6-32 threading. You don't want more than 1/4" or 3/8" in screw length and longer screws can always be trimmed down. If the sight rail has countersunk holes (screw holes so the head sits flush with the surface) on it you will want "Flat head hex machine screws" - otherwise "Pan head machine screws" will do fine. It'll probably cost around $1 USD at a local hardware store.

          Someone gave me the same warning when I joined AO. I figured they were just kidding. Now I have a pneumag and am builing a pump mag.

          If only I would have listened. Welcome to the family.
