    what to do

    So there comes a time in every mags life when it needs some up-grades question is what first? I have a very limited income so what is the best thing to buy first? I already have the lvl 10 on a 68 classic.

    I LOVE my Intelliframe. I wish they had them 10 years ago.

    Do you have a nice barrel yet? That would be the obvious choice for the first upgrade.

    Are you going to use CO2 or HPA? If you use CO2 a remote or Expansion Chamber with an anti syphon tank is (almost) a must have.

    How old is the gun ... specifically do you know if it has the nice on / off? The old on / off's were lousy and could cause shoot down.

    Here is a picture of my 10 year old 'Mag with all my upgrades. I played with it last Wednesday and it shot perfect. I mean perfect. +/- 5 fps all day on CO2.

      I have three different barrels so thats not a problem, its either a Intelliframe and ule trigger, X-valve, or ule boby.

        ULE trigger won't do much on a classic 'Mag, so don't bother. ULE Body is not a necessary upgrade, and if you get one it takes 'Cocker threaded barrels so your current 'Mag barrels won't work unless you have 'Cocker barrels already. X-Valve will need HPA to work correctly, so you'll have to upgrade your air source if you don't already use it.

        Just buying an X Valve and ULE body is a bit expensive unless you get them used but you can just buy a whole new ULE X Valve 'Mag for a good price ($350 ish):



        I would just get an Intelliframe and leave it at that. You still didn't mention if you use CO2 or HPA already.

          I have air, and I see your point about getting a new RT-ULE Custom and it would be way cheaper, so I guess I'll have to save my money for a long time and get that.

          How much do you think i could sell a 68 classic with lvl 10 and forgrip?

            Pic?

            Not a whole lot unfortunately. $150 if you're lucky and throw in a few extra parts. Check the completed listing on eBay. I'd keep it as a backup gun myself.

                    Looks like you have a pretty nice setup to me, but if you are looking for speed i would save up and go to themagsmith and buy the paradigm pro, and use the one you have now as a backup instead of selling it.

                      I've been offered $250CND for it without the drop and only one barrel
