    My "new" 68Automag

    Just bought a 68 Automag, Yay!. Now what did I get myself into? This thing has more upgrades than my A5 ha ha. Anyways I was directed here from A5OG after I started asking a bunch of questions, so here we go.

    Can I put the x or y grip on this?

    What q-loader mod am I going to need? (Ive got a power feed body)

    Should I upgrade to a newer body? this one has the older twist lock barrels, I have 4. 2 stock, 1 Armson (sp?) rifled, and 1 brass barrel. My question really should be "Are the barrels he gave me worth anything? or would I be better off with my AC threaded Hammerhead?"

    And someone said something about putting a PPS Stab on it....I run HPA but I would still like to put my male Stab on it if I can.

    I would post pics but I cant find the camera, so any help yall can give me with the information I provided would be much appreciated.

    Depends where you want to install it

    If you have a ton of AC barrels, might be in your best interest.

    No need

      Welcome!

      Check the mag FAQ , it will give you a good start and ground to ask specific questions. Some people like the old parts, including twist-lock barrels, so look at all the options and prioritize, or you can always buy another mag when you can't decide.

        Funny thing was I was hoping after I upgraded this one enough I would have enough extra parts to start making another from scratch ha ha.

        Thanks for the help yall Im sure Ill have more questions after I look around a bit more.

        @ Ando- What are my options? Other than mounting it on a rail I thought my only option was under the barrel with a mount on the "regulator area".

        Oh and I want to put the Stab because I like the comfort of having that grip right there, the fact that its a reg is just the icing on the cake.

          Pretty much my only remaining questions are:

          Can I put my male PPS Stab on the marker?

          and which q-loader mount am I going to need to mount the q-loader under my barrel with the feed tube going through the bottom of the feed tube? Just for reference Ill include a picture of the model that I have.

          Edit: Picture I copied wont work....pretty much its a power feed body where the hopper is hanging over the right side. I want to run my q-loader hose through the left side/bottom.

            Use http://tinypic.com/ to host your pictures and link them here.

            As for your q-loader question. If you want to put it under the barrel, all you'll need is the basic loader system and it'll come out looking like this. Same setup I have.


            If you want to get creative there's a bunch of way to set it up. Just Google qloader and click on the picture tab to see what you can do with it.

            I don't see why you couldn't use your PPS, should fit the standard ASA. I wouldn't recommend using it as a gas though grip, might very well starve your Classic if not setup properly but if you know what your doing, then go right ahead. If you upgrade to any of the R/T Valves, defiantly keep it strictly as a grip and find yourself a high output tank regulator to get the full potential of the RT.
