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.
what to do

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.

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.Originally posted by piperhutchI have three different barrels so thats not a problem, its either a Intelliframe and ule trigger, X-valve, or ule boby.
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.Comment

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.Originally posted by JaanULE trigger won't do much on a classic 'Mag, so don't bother.

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.Comment

I've been offered $250CND for it without the drop and only one barrelOriginally posted by MoneyShotLooks 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.Comment
