Here ya go people

Here's the $10 Automag I found at a flea market. Everything seems to be functional
, I'll strip down tonight.

Not bad for $10. Frame looks like it could possibly be a Proline which fires on both the pull and release. Shame someone cut the trigger guard though.

I saw that too, take off the grip panels and take another picture for us

[captian pinky]

hell of a deal if its a AR frame

[BTAutoMag]

its a hell of a deal just for all the screws that hold it together let alone the frame

[Praetor]

Aaah, so some clues...thanks

Ok, so forgive my paintball ignorance but the frame is still an AGD designed frame, correct? I can machine a replacement trigger gaurd, atleast the area that's cut, that is. I just don't know the integral shape of that part of the gaurd that's been cut. Cap screws would be required to hold the possible machined piece.

[Praetor]

will do...

I'll be doing a tear down tonight with plenty of pics of every part of the gun.

AR frame?

hell of a deal if its a AR frame

Again, forgive my paintball ignorance, but what do you mean AR frame?

[BTAutoMag]

AR=Auto-Response

itll fire on the pull and release... they stopped making the frame in 1994 if I remember right. Rare

whats your location, Mag users are notoriously friendsly and helpful with things like this

[Praetor]

yeah....

its a hell of a deal just for all the screws that hold it together let alone the frame

...I totally agree.

speaking of which, I'll be changing out all of the screws on this gun to stainless steel cap screws...I don't see how anyone would use anything other than stainless screws on these guns, when considering the punishment these guns go through in the elements, not to mention the game itself.

[OPBN]

Questions seem to be pretty well answered above. Pics of the inside of the frame will tell if its an Autoresponse or not. They are fairly rare, but not going to fetch a lot more than a standard frame due to the cut guard. It also could just be an early Benchy frame, in which case the value is going to be really low and probably not even worth the time to try and replair unless you are really bored.

[Praetor]

what I know so far...

...again, as a machinist, I find this gun awesome. The way everything was designed, it's ingenious, built in reg, and a large air resevoir (for the design size). I admire the way all of the components fit within it's 1.00" housing just right to deliver velocity no matter the pressure into it. hell I've built AR lower receivers and I'm thinking of making an adapter for the rail of this autmag to fit one of my lowers, essentially making it interchangable between these two lowers, but that's probably a little down the road. I don't necessarily like the homemade butt extension, seems to low for my frame, I'm thinking maybe underneath the reg., extending out behind from the reg, too. We'll see.

Stocks for painball markers are different from real steel. With real guns, you cheak the stock and use the sites. This is impossible to do with a paintball marker since you have a mask on. Having the marker higher and siting from behind the marker using the barrel is more common. I would say that most people dont even really used stock, but just use a bottom line and use the tank as a "stock".

Have fun with it.

awesome find for $10, yeah it could say proline and it be a regular non AR frame. I have both and yeah the non AR frame of mine is also cut.

oh no, my AR-15 lower recievers are made of aluminum and can be modified to fit any most paintball guns, it'd be aesthetically pleasing or put it another way...it's be damn cool. and it would still handle like any other paintball gun, no "cheeking". more or less like a decked out Tippman. I was thinking of using the tank as a stock, and with pony bottles I can probably make the stock adjustable, all in due time. Thanks
