    wow. Looks to be in fine condition. Good job keeping it looking nice.

    Paintball is waaaaaaaay different now than it was back then. (i played amature 98-00) and i just got back into the game this year.

    The good thing is, lots of new toys Like stuff from Magsmith, Luke, Jay, and a myriad of other talented people keeping the AGD after market alive.

    Bad thing is that the attitude seems to have taken a turn for the dumpster.

    Still, its good to be back yes?

                Good to be back. I went to play speedball with a coulpe of old friends and I noticed that the guns are faster but the players are worse. I felt bad own'n up on ION's with my buddy's TL and VL200. lol.

                But the mag is ready now and I can't wait to ger back out there and show em what I am really made of. I have noticed there is a lot of modifications and tinkering that people do on this forum. However, a lot of it isn't too functional. Mag shooting 30bps is cool, but is that it? It certainly isn't feasible for tourney play, right? Do these guys play amatuer/pro with these super mags? or do they just brag about bps?

                  I would'nt change a thing, it looks great the way it is. It's probably better to build a ULE from scratch or buy one used instead. I wish I never sold my first MiniMag. I know it's not worth much, but the guy I sold it to has it sitting in storage collecting dust

                    Just a side note if you want to make this thing out shoot any hopper buy a used emag or RT valve (same design as an Xvalve) and an adjustable tank. Set the tank to 1000 psi output and let it rip

                        Basically, it is just a new on/off assembly. It improves recharge, firing rate, and trigger reactivity. It was the poor man's RT at the time.

                          Yeah, I have done the research. I have an old school adjustable Max-Flo that im going to stick on an X-valve and see what it does.

                              Couple of things:

                              1.) Wicked awesome 'Mag! The only thing I'd change is I'd swap out the on/off for an RT Pro on/off. It'll lighten up the trigger pull without causing short stoking. Otherwise, KEEP HER AS IS! She's gorgeous!

                              2.) Unless you're talking about the old 18vlt VL Shredders, they are called 12vlt Revvies now. VL added a power regulator after having many complaints about motors burning out. They did this quite some time ago. Great loaders, though. I still use mine after 5 years. Never had a problem.

                              3.) Paintball certainly has changed. I hate the new-gen guns. If I shoot an electro, chances are it's either an older electro, an E-Cocker, or an E-Mag of sorts. But then, I prefer pump and mech. And trust me, you'll gain a new found hatred for Ions, and little agglets alike. (Or as I say, ***G or gAy-G-G)

                              4.) But seriously, that is a sweet 'Mag.
                              Autocockers are the greatest markers ever made.
