    Zmag from scratch

    I need some help. I am thinking of building a custom mag from the ground up starting with a z body then getting a trigger frame and the such. I have two main problems.
    1) is the z body worth it? "does t really work man?"
    or should i look into something different
    2) this is silly but what exactly are all the parts i would need to have to fully assemble a zmag or other mag. I know many people dont want to list their customs so any generals would help. I also heard that it is somewhat cheaper to custom make one then buy one out right how true is that? O and last but not least about how much do u guys think a full setup would cost me

    ok im done, thanks again to any and all help
    flame away if u like it doesnt bother me

    Yea, the Z body works.

    If you were making a regular 68AUTOMAG, it would be cheaper just to buy a new one. It is like $200 for the valve, $100 for the body, and then at least $20 for the grip. That is $320, and you don't have everything you need yet.

      last time i checked 888paintball.com had lots of mag parts. everything you'd need to make an automag from the factory parts such as sears and on/off pins and all the screw types to aftermarket parts like bolts and grip frames. good luck with building your new mag.
