upgrades

[Wittkid99]

I was wondering what upgrades help reduce the drop off, short of switching to the RT(which i plan on doing). but for the time being i was hoping someone could lend some insight onto the best upgrades, without going RT.what is the best trigger frame, bolt, AIR valve, and so forth, not including the RT cause i know its good.

your best bet would be to get an intelliframe. aside from that i would only recommend the retro valve. stay away from non-AGD internals as they will cause nothing but problems. Aside from all that i would recommend doing a search as you will find a great deal of information that way.

by the way, i see you're pretty new to AO, so Welcome!

[Wittkid99]

thanks, but i really need something to stop the drop off and i dotn have the money for the RT YET. is there anything at all please let me know.

IM me im always on or email me or post. pick your poison

You shouldn't have drop off, even with a standard valve. Drop off is usually caused by short stroking and not allowing the valve to fully recharge before firing the next shot.

The intelliframe will help with the short stroking problem and help you maintain better valve recharge.

Other than getting a retro valve, the intelliframe is your only real upgrade that will affect shot consistency because of trigger actuation. This is of course assuming you already have compressed air, which is probably the number one recommended upgrade for a mag.

ok cool. thanks for your thoughts. i still might put the phase 2 valve on but not sure. definately putting the RT on this summer(granted i dont get an impulse) im definately getting the intelliframe first. in a couple weeks i hope. thanks guys. keep me up to date

[athomas]

Stay away from the phase 2 valve. It won't hurt anything, but it doesn't do anything either. Put your money into something more productive.

The biggest air restriction in the mag is in the on/off assembly, not in the valve back. The stock mag valve back is already already has plenty of capacity. In fact, the stock mag valve itself is capable of 12-16 balls per second without shootdown if the trigger is pulled and released properly. This is a product of the on/off assembly, not the valve back.

From what Army says, the biggest bottleneck isnt really the actuall on/off assembly.... Its the inlet to and the outlet from the on/off.

[Wittkid99]

thanks for the help guys. what on/off should i get to help my gun. i plan on getting the RT but for now id take your advice seems to be right so far. True Flow or Reactor. let me know

[MrMag]

i have never used the true flow, but my friend has the reactor, and says it does absolutely nothing. alo it is a pain in the *** to get to stay in. u have to insert the valve upside down so that everything doesnt fall out; that or put some oil onm, and hold it there for 3mins and then insert

[Wittkid99]

thanks. if anyone else can let me know what on/off is the best let me know please.

Dont waste your money on a little doo-hickey thingamajigger that will make your gun shoot faster, farther, and more accurately. You WILL NOT find anything that works better than the stock On/Off. Spend your money on paint!

[Wittkid99]

ok thanks for the input.

also is there a difference between the RT and RT Pro. If so what are they and which one is better. thanks

[WickeDKlowN]

the rt pro is better

[Wittkid99]

Do they make the valve replacement for the minimag so you can shoose the RT or the RT Pro. i plan on upgrading to the RT with the foamie bolt. please let me know if they make both valve replacements for a minimag. thanks and does the RT Pro work with the intelliframe cause i am putting that on no matter what. thanks

The RT Pro comes standard with the Intelliframe installed.
