    Building a Mag

    Hello everyone, I would love to get my hands on an emag or xmag, but they are to hard to get and are a little pricey. I figure I could take my time and build myself a mag, so whenever I get some money I can buy another part. My only problem is that I am new to mags and don't know how to build one. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks a bunch for any help.

    Your best bet is to save money up and buy a mag used. In fact its the only way to get an X-Mag or E-Mag really.

    Though sometimes E-Mag lowers pop up I haven't seen many X-Mags parted out.

    If you are buying new its better to save up and buy it all at once from someone like Tunamart.com You'll probably even save money buying it all new at once then you would buying things used individually.

      What he said. I've been building a mag for the last couple of months, buying pieces here and there so it looked exactly how I wanted. But when it was all said and done, I think I spent about the same as buying one new gun. Granted, it looks cooler, but it really isn't that cost effective to build your own gun from used parts.

        Glad you found your way over , you will find the folks here pretty cool
        the best thing to do right now is start saving your money & searching the B/S/T forum , normally you can buy a complete marker just a little cheaper than indivdual parts

          you can do the buy a used gun and then swap our parts or what not but heres at least a lsit of pieces u need

          -body (in the body u may need/want a differant feed-neck, you also need a ball detent)
          -rail
          -valve (in the valve you then have to figure out if you need/want a level 10 upgrade, you also may need/want a ult)
          -trigger frame
          -air lines

          optional
          -fore grip

          assembling a mag is very easy, the tuning might take a little practice but mags are very simple markers, basically if u can change the batteries in you remote you can put a mag together
