wow...lotsa stuff:

I would recommend getting a 68-4500 tank if at all possible as opposed to the 3000psi tank.


the X-Valve is now sold in place of the Retro Valve. It is internally identical, it just has an all aluminum body. it weighs 3oz less and includes the Level 10 bolt kit. It sells for $325, however if you send your current mag valve (which it replaces) you will get it for $225.

Freak Kits go for closer to $200 than $300

the ULE Trigger and the ULE Trigger Kit are the same thing, selling for $47.

other than that, its a decent list. the Level 10 bolt kit is the most important thing, so I suppose it makes sense to get that with the XValve. After that..ULE Trigger, ULE Body, Y-Frame...all good mods.

there are no ULE Grips and NO ULE foregrips

your mag does NOT need a regulator. It has one built into the gun and does not work better (argueably it works worse) with an extra.

1) proteus are nice, you can also pick up a vforce which IMO are equally nice, and you can prolly get it cheaper.

2) contacts, as in contact lenses.. sure, go for the gusto. I play with some people that wear thier glasses.

3) 68/45 is the way to go. you should be able to acutally find a decent used one around the same price. check the air systems forum here.

4) definitely the xvalve. if you get to an AO event you may be able to pick one up for $225, or, if you have a classic valve, do what kevmaster said.. the Go X-valve program. http://store.airgun.com/acb/showdetl..._ID=19&CATID=5 for more info.

5) good choice. I use this personally on my setup and i love it

6) another great choice. keep your setup light

7) or you could go for the j&j edge kit. since youll have a ULE, that will work nicely. there are so many diff kits out there. do some research before comitting to one kit.

8) barrell condom (sock). you could be stylish and pick up an AO barrell sock: http://www.automags.org/forums/showt...threadid=71142

9) another must have. pick one up. tunaman or roguefactor here on the boards sell them, not sure about their stock.

10) same as number 9..

11) this is purely preference. you may go through several drops before you decide which is best for your setup.


12) halo's rock.. go for it.

13) never heard of ULE grips.. not sure they exist.

14) ule foregrip. another thing that roguefactor sells here on the boards. (pm him for more info)

15) omega rail, but its a rare find these days. or the rogue rail once it comes out.

16) you could grab macro. I still stick with trusty steel lines.. but, its all preference. contact tunaman, hes got the parker macro available i believe. good stuff.

17) not necessary with a mag, valves have reg built in. (god, i hope I said that right.. its still early for me.)

18) get a 4+1, or just a 4 pack and you should be good. no need to search for a pack that has a tank holder in it, unless you intentionally want to run a remote to your pack.

19) preference. dont necessarily need paintball gloves. mechanic or dirtbike racing gloves will do the trick.

20) not necessary, unless you are playing scenario or woodsball. also expensive. may want to look into this as a last purchase

21) preferential. you want your mag painted camo, thats your thing.

good luck on your purchases, hope ive shed a little light on things for you.
