Barrel Threads, this is making my head hurt!

[trutle]

Okay, I am looking for barrels for my recently aquired mini mag, and I am getting so confusing signals. At the smart parts website they referred to the all american threads as "Automag RT" threads, but then at paintballgear, where i buy all my paintball stuff, they just say "Automag Threads" so basically my question is, What kinda barrel threads will a left powerfeed minimag accept? I mean, when buying barrels for my mag does which side the gun feeds from really matter? Or can I just buy any barrel for it, I KNOW IT MATTERS FOR CENTER FEED, I am asking for LEFT POWER FEED MINIMAG.

Just to make your head spin a bit more...'Mag barrels aren't threaded at all, they use the twist-lock format. No threads.

The AGD Lightweight aluminum ULE mainbodies, and X-Mags use autococker threaded-barrels.

THATS NOT WHAT I ASKED, I KNOW THEY ARE TWIST LOCK YOU RAZZER FRAZZER SAZZER BAZZER RAMAMA DING DONG *** CLOWN! NOW READ MY DAMN POST BEFORE YOU GO SHOOTING YOUR MOUTH AND TRY AND MAKE ME LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT!

"HOT! HOT! HOT! Finally here, the ALL Aluminum Colored Bodies! All the features you want including :

1. Screw in feed tube with Angel threads"

THE ULES ARE ANGEL THREADED!

/Rant off

Whoa there, buck-o!

What's flown up your backside! And as far as "trying to make you look like an idiot" , I think you just took care of that yourself!

NOW READ MY DAMN POST BEFORE YOU GO SHOOTING YOUR MOUTH AND TRY AND MAKE ME LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT!

...and ULE mainbodies use 'cocker barrel threads, and ANGEL threaded feed necks.

Now GO LAY DOWN!

Maybe you could have answered my question, instead of your sarcastic little "automags barrels arn't thread they are blah blah". Don't respond unless you know! I didn't ask about the ULEs I didnt ask what there threads were.

yeah, sometimes you gotta put up with a$$holes like that on these forms, but to actually answer your question, I'm 99% sure that they are the exact same barrel and that they just decided to word it differently (probably to look cool)

P.S. I thought I was the only one to use the phrase "a$$ clown". Darn


Deliberate avoidance of the filter will get you banned just as quickly as cursing. DO NOT do it again - cphilip

I now they arnt exactly the same because you need a certain barrel for center feed.

stop your *****in and get a dye they have slots for center feed and standard/power feed is that good enough

Stop the curse filter triggering or you will be banned - cphilip

There's a lot of anger in the AO young'uns tonight...is it a full moon?

@ trutle,

I was trying to answer your question...and there was no sarcasm in my post, just trying to clarify the difference between mag barrels & threaded barrels. You added the drama

Almost - it's tomorrow. Wait 'til tomorrow night when there's a lunar eclipse, too; something's bound to hit a fan...

trutle, call or visit a store and tell them you need a barrel for a powerfeed/hopper left 'Mag. Then please stop posting until you take your medication.

All the mag barrels are the same. Same threads, same detent, same everything, unless your mag/minimag/rt/rtpro/emag is centerfeed. Then, you find a barrel with centerfeed threads. 90% of the time, centerfeed barrels can also double as HL/HR barrels.

hahaha... what the hell is wrong with you? Russ was only trying to help, like he helps everyone else out and has helped me out a lot of times. How many packets of kool aid did you eat?!

@1old68classic, trutle, and JMurder: Russ was just trying to help; I don't see any sarcasm in his post. All three of you really should review the forum rules...cursing get's you banned here.

[cphilip]

trutle, you must be new. I am cphilip and I am your worst nightmare if you continue to act like this here. Warned... We do not conduct ourselves like that here on AO. You can agree or you can get outa here. Those are your choices....
