Don't know how to build...

[Pryme7]

Hey guys sorry for the newbie question but i'm new to the intricacies of the mag, and i'm interested in building one my self. Now as to what i need.....i don't have a clue ....so what is the list of parts needed to put together a mag? I know that i want an RT and Lvl 10. so.....i know it's a pain maybe to ask for a specific parts list....but. thanks for your time....peace

Honestly, you'd probably be better off getting a complete one and start customizing it from there. That way you'll get a better understanding of how the Mag functions before you start throwing a bunch of parts together. If you want to build your own, you need a body, rail with the correct sear/pin, frame, Classic, RT Pro, E-mag, X, etc. valve, you'll probably want a foregrip of some sort, some misc hardware for bolting it all together, and a barrel. LX, ULT, are more options that you'll need to choose. Just make sure you get the correct on/off for whatever valve you choose if it doesn't come with one. Good luck, and post some pics when you are done!

what is your budget? then we go from there.

i was going to judge that once i figured all the parts....

Lvl 10
ULE'd
Xvalve\ RT valve - do i have to use the RT valve to have an RT?
i'd like a Z grip
i have a AC threaded barrel kit already
Double detents
CP self voiding ASA
Locking\ Twisting feed neck
bike foregrip
i like the tac one look, but i'd rather have something more custom...


what else do i need?

Well you dont NEED anything else. The valves come basically in two types. Classic is one. Rt/emag/x is another. If you want an RT gun you need either an RT/E/X valve. Otherwise it will be a classic valved gun. The RT/Emag/Xvalves all in practical sense are the same and if you have one of the three it will be an RT gun. The x valves are worth the most. Then the emag valves and then the regular rt valves.

As for what you want/need. What is your price range? You can get a cheap classic for under 100 or you can get a real nice mech for 500 or you can go pneumag for 5-700 or you can go x/emag for 7-1000, It all depends on what you want to spend. You can get a lot or you can get a little. It all depends on your budget.

what else do i need?

1) x valve w/ Lv10 - 175-200
2) ule'd rail - 50-80 (look at BST section or I can sell u my rtp rail and u can have Luke custom mill it to whatever u like)
3) z-grip - 100+
4) ule bady - 75 (double detent - extra add on)
5) feed neck - 20-30
6) va & bike grip - 20-30
7) asa - depends
basicaly u are talking about 440 plus the cost of misc. hardware.

dont forget your sear & pin, rear thumb screw. That will add another ~20 bucks to your total

sweet thanks guys...so my only other question then is how are the RT\X valve any different?
i know i'm not interested in going Emag, i want to stay mech. and what's up with the pnuemag?

The difference is that the rt is made of SS which is heavier and cant take ano and the X is made of aluminum which can take ano. Also the top of the hole the on/off fits in is slightly different. In the RT it is drilled for a single oring. For the X valve it is drilled wider and you put a larger oring in then the smaller oring that is used in the rt valve inside it. The only difference you see is that the dual oring valves can take a ULE trigger which drops trigger pull weight a bunch. The single oring RT valves need to be drilled out to the dual oring size to use the ULE trigger.

As for pneumagging it. What you do is you put a small ram in front of the sear and connect it to a very light 3 way valve that gives you a pull that is really short and really light. A quality setup will have a pull as light and short as a decent electro giving you electro speeds.

awesome thanks benzy...

If you can go pneumag. The one I have will shoot as fast as I can shoot my promaster. It is a very light pull and is great fun. If you have a few tools around the house you can do it yourself. If not there are people on here that will do it for you.
