    Upgrading my old Gun

    I post a while back about some problems I was having with my gun. I still have yet to fix it, but with the urge to fix it once again, and play hardcore style this spring/summer, I am having a great debate.

    I would like to fix it and get it running once more, but I am tring to compile a list of the nessary parts that I need.

    Current Setup:

    Smart Parts AA barrel 12"
    WGP Reg
    KAPP Dropzone III
    Powerfeed Body
    CO2 setup
    Verticl Feed Adapter
    2 finger trigger

    Setup I would like to get(after some serious searching this morning)

    Palmer Stabilzer
    Possible Second Reg/Expansion Chamber
    New Barrel
    Verticle Feed Body
    Possible Trigger Upgrade(nothing fancy. I'm not that hardcore.)
    Lvl 10 bolt upgrade

    Any other recommendations. I was going to try to run two regs/expansion chambers. Curious to find out if I can run two on the stock rail with the expansion rail added. Would require another verticle feed adapter, but its duable.

    Tring to keep this under or just over the cost of replacing the gun. I have been really looking at the Tippman A-5 with response trigger, but I always loved my mag. Always performed well (...until I let a friend borrow it, but thats my fault) whether I ran CO2 or a N2 tank.

    Going to be spring/summer weather no colder playing so I figure C02 will do me until I can find an affordable Scuba setup and then a N2 tank.

    Any other recommendations besides upgrading to N2?

    don't get a second reg, the valve is one already. a second reg could starve the mag for air. if you're running co2 just get an expansion chamber. definately get a level 10 though.

      Going to be alot of woods ball, so I figured on a J&J or Dye barrel. Any recommendations there?

        Get a big bore, that way it'll always fit your paint.

        or

        If you play at 1 field all the time, find a barrel that fits their paint.

        or

        Get a kit if you play at different fields.

          Umm.....buying 2 regs / expansion chambers and all the hassle that involve you might want to look into side stepping all that and upgrading to a compressed air tank, new regs are $50 each for cheap ones and expansion chambers $30 new steel 48cu 3k psi tank is $100

            I am going to assume that you did not bother to read this comment
            'Any other recommendations besides upgrading to N2?'

            With no place local that I know of to fill N2 tanks, and being that they do not last quite as long as a CO2 tank, they are a not an option unless I can find a scuba tank for sale cheap somewhere local and a place that I can get it filled.
