Buying a classic - what to look for

[Aegis]

I have been reading about automags for a while, and thought I would try one. Bought one used, liked the feel and the overall design. FOR ONE AFTERNOON, as it was stolen from my car along with all of our paintball gear that night.

But enough about that. I am going to replace it, and have the following questions:

Does a new classic come with the LX bolt?

Pros and cons to powerfeed? I am not going to a warp feed anytime soon. I am a righty, so hopper left sounds like a good idea and I liked sighting down the top of the barrel.

I guess that is about it. Thanks for any advice.

Powerfeed is much better. It prevents double feeding, thus preventing ball chopping. Its more expensive but you save the frustration of removing your barrel in the middle of a game. Ask to see the bolt, its easy to remove; less than 30 seconds. Check for scratches; scratches= slow performance.

powerfeed helps prevent chopping due to faster feed rates because of the lower blowback gas pushing the balls back pu the feedstack, however by no means does it prevent chopping.

the new classics do NOT come with LX. Emags and RT Pros do however.

Might I suggest any GUN body made by AGD with the RT valve, the classic valves are somewhat inferior........
