    What rises from the ashes...

    This thing was a mess when I got it. Old paint was turning the rail finish, all the o-rings were shot, the bolt sping was worn, the reg-pin was destroyed, most of the screws were stripping or stripped, the hardline was dented...

    Yesterday courtesy of "person" I recieved an o-ring kit and a bolt-bumper (thanks a lot) and today I got a few spare parts straight from AGD, so I got to work.

    Now, with the help of some tools, air-fittings, teflon tape, loc-tite, and love she is reborn.

    Behold Pheonix, what once was ruined becomes a supreme force!

      I know exactly how you feel. I can't even imagine how the ROF must have been marveled at in '96.

          Wow, it's become a part of my language and the local slang so much that I don't even notice when I do curse.

          I'll have to review my vid and see if I can catch it, lol

          Putting it here isn't editing........

          I do apologize, I'll try and tone down the language if and when I make another video, I was just super excited

            Seeing that video of your Classic RT almost makes me want to go out and find the parts to recreate another warp monster...almost.

            There is still something really cool about the whole contraption that is the warped mag. Get an RT valve, slap on an adjustable tank with the pressure turned up. Just fun stuff. Always catches so much attention at the field.

            Enjoy your newly revived toy.

                  I know how you feel. I just brought an old neglected RT back myself. Pics of the recovery here: http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?t=235145

                  Enjoy it. I know I'm enjoying mine more than I ever thought I would.

                        Lol, yeah.

                        I doubt I'll actually be firing that fast in game though, I just wanted to push the capabilities to see what I could get away with.

                        Here's some pics:



                        If you can't see, the valve and reg match. Serial isn't too bad either: RT01798









                        Specs are a Lapco drop, AGD bicycle grip, AGD warp and accessories, Ricochet AK, Benchmark double trigger frame, 32* 0-1200 psi guage, Nitro-duck .68/3000 tank, black macro 90*s and line, and soon to come Lapco Bigshot (provided I find a black one or ULE this thing somehow).

                        Sight rail is a little banged up and I believe there is still dried up paint in the milling, but right now I can't really do anything about that. It needs a soak, sand, and re-paint...
                        But overall the condition of the marker is great IMO!

                        Comments please!

                          u might wanna get an on/off asa, might need a new drop if the one u have can't be upgraded.

                            Great to see the thing finaly up and running Watcher, and as far as getting an on/off asa it is more of a personal preference. If you can put one on there and feel like it, go ahead. Otherwise go with what feels more comfortable to you, id rather break a few more o-rings rather then have a drop that feels uncomfortable.

                              No way, I love that drop. The only drop I've ever liked.

                              As for on-off, I don't see the point when I can unscrew the tank. I don't see why I'd want the tank on the gun if I'm not going to be shooting it anyway, that's just more stress on the bottle-neck and bottomline and it raises the question of whether or not the gun is aired up when the tank is on it. A mistake there could mean serious injury.

                              Sure it is convinient, but it is not for me...

                              There is a purge on the ASA, only that o-ring was on there since I bought the tank

                              If anything I'll add a slide check before the macro-fitting
