Resurrecting an old school mag

[BiNumber3]

The AGD spec frames have a shorter pull than the Benchmarks (much more noticeable on the double trigger frames) from what I remember.

Hey guys....thanks for all the useful information! I emailed tuna 2 days ago and still haven't heard back from him. Triple checked the address....I'm guessing he's a pretty busy guy. Is there a better way too contact him?

As far as I know it's not his day job so response times may vary. Just hang in there, he'll take care of you. :) You can of course also try to pm him here in the forum.

[Tunaman]

Replied. All jammed up here again. Sorry for the delay.

[Nobody]

The only thing you can say that is bad is the reply times. Yes, it isn't his day job, plus you have egeryone with a mag emailing him. 200, 300 replies a day sometimes. But the few things you can count on are: he wants to help you, he wants to get you the best thing for you, and he will strive to get your mags back to running the proper way.

Also, there is an annual game coming up in June that celebrates all things mags. Named in honor of Tuna. If you are close to NJ, it is sometimes worth it.

I'm pretty sure it's from that little circle cutout on the back of the benchmark trigger where the trigger rod rides.

He got back to me, thanks for the help guys....I'm in Indiana, so jersey might be a little out of my range though lol. Is This tuna all? Is it every year? Would definitely love to make it sometime

[The Dawg]

I'm in Indiana too. Where do you play? Down south is pretty baron, but there's tons of great fields up north.

[blackdeath1k]

I'm right across the border from Mt Vernon IN in IL. There is nothing over here

[ffedmonson]

Oh awesome! I live in Muncie, the closest field is in Anderson, white River paintball....ever been? It's pretty sweet, they have 13 different fields, including and indoor. Open year round

[blackdeath1k]

I'm playing this weekend right off i70 on rt1 in IL.

Played at white river in there d day game a couple years ago. Field were phenomenal. Paint was horrible at that game. Would love to go back.

[ffedmonson]

It really is a nice place, I'm thinking of buying a yearlong family membership. Took my boys 2 weeks ago for their first time. Now they're hooked lol....it's what prompted me to get this sweet ass mag back in working order.

[blackdeath1k]

Ha-ha. There memberships might not be bad. There walk on costs are horrible. I love my RT. It's all I've used for a LONG time. Just now bought my first non mag since 94. And first electric gun ever.

[Cyco-Dude]

Its not necessarily shorter(but i do not have a benchmark frame to compare), but there is less slop, a better safety(i truly hate the way the safety is on a benchmark. As it will always engage when you don't want or need it to) and a better feel.

yeah, it's shorter. or rather, the benchmark is longer than agd (and agd spec) frames.

I'm pretty sure it's from that little circle cutout on the back of the benchmark trigger where the trigger rod rides.

it's because the sear rod is up higher, much closer to the trigger pivot point than on agd frames. this gives the frame a lighter, but longer, trigger pull compared to agd frames (which are shorter, but stiffer). i think an intelliframe with an rt on/off gives you the best of both worlds.

[ffedmonson]

Yeah, walk on was rough. 350 bucks for the 3 of us, after paint and everything all in. For 550 I can get a year membership for four people, everything included but paint, which they give a discount on for members.
I've never even shot an rt! The only marker I've ever owned is my classic mag. I've loved it so much from day one that I never wanted a different one. I'm still holding out on the electronic guns. I just don't feel it....think it takes away from the game. Yeah, it allows you to shoot really fast, but there's something to be said about a player who can still kick ass with a mechanical gun. There's so much more to the game than shooting fast. They may be able to shoot 30 bps at me, but if I'm landing my first shot that they never see coming.....
