Help build the ultimate mag.

[belligerentruth]

Hi all,

Those who know me know I love the project aspect of paintball and after the Thor's Hammer 'Ice' Viking and the Egyptian Euromag I'm ready to build a mech mag (or a pneumag).

First - I've heard pneumags were finicky and required near-constant tinkering. My main priority is having a beautiful workhorse that will work forever, with ideally 1 tune a season.

Next - List what parts you consider to be the rarest/highest quality for a mag (or pneumag) - Rail, Frame, Trigger, Body, etc... everything.

Please don't list things that are going to be next to impossible to find for any cost (unless you know someone selling). Beyond that list whatever you consider best - price is irrelevant.

Thanks so much for the great advice. This is a great community.

Frame - RPG triton or Logic UMF
Rail - RPG shadow/wave or Logic alpha or DW karta
body - RPG piranha/exile or DW karta/chord

Valve -X
Asa- rpg 15* w/ CP mini gas thru or DW carbon fiber

Hi all,

Links? I searched but couldn't find anything.

I've also been thinking about this. My would be along the lines of the smallest/lightest mag possible.

Man that is a good looking Vike, did you ever end up selling it?

chafnerjr that is the kind of tiny mag that I want. So that trigger set up is nice and crisp thats also what I want.

Yep, I like em' short. Part of the reason that I play with an old crossfire 72/45 peanut. Playing with a 14" barrel let's me swing around corners and only exposing a minimal target. This took some time to put together but it wasn't that bad. 6 Months and I had everything together either bought new (CP ASA and grip and fittings) or picked up here on the forums. The pewter XValve cost about $300 or about $100 more than a nice condition used black XValve with ULT. I got pretty lucky on the AirWalk from Jay @ Cerberus for $160. I managed to get on the list for his run of v2's just as I started looking to put it together.

The other pieces should be easy to find. I'm a little different so I found that cyberave rail for around $100 instead of the logic alpha that I was thinking about. A lot of people like the dallara rail or RGP mini shadow. The mini shadow I see much less often. You can always take something and have it milled to MM length if you want to be really fancy about it. For a trigger the Viper Blade Pro (My favorite) isn't in production but they can be had $50 or $60ish last i checked. The splinter from RGP is only like $43 new or something like that. Then you've got the AGD blade and some others. These are purely personal choice.

For the body you have a few choices in the MM size. There's the IT, Dallara and RGP Priah as the more common on the forum here. There are other classic bodies as well as milled RT length bodies such as the mini tac-ones that have been showing up.

That's what I can think of for MM length parts off the top of my head. As for the super happy trigger crispiness? Just make sure that you have enough room in the frame for what you need. I went sleeper meaning that I had the LPR hidden in the frame. Often people use the IntelliFrame and need to mount the LPR somewhere else. If you go sleeper then you need a small LPR like a tickler. If you mount it either in front of the foregrip on the side of the ASA or in a battery pack you can use a better LPR like a micro-rock or some crazy palmers something or other. I find that the tickler works just fine. The real key is to just send the thing to cyberave68 and let him install everything. Many love to do it themselves but you just will never get anything this good without a lot of practice. I won't kid you when I say that everything in my frame was a little over $400 with installs. Sometimes you just have to pay for quality.

What kind of parts are you looking at? Do you have anything your set on and just trying to decide on the others?

here was my first pnue-mag.. i hated selling this one...



Also had this one at one time.. This was compact also



Then morphed to this

[chafnerjr]

Nice gun's man. Question though. Why are all of your trigger rods horizontal? Looks like they have a lot of trigger pull. HOTT HOTT HOTT though!

[zondo]

No offense to those awesome markers above, but don't you want to create something new?

Body: XT's Shockwave unibody

Foregrip: Mongoose's EP grip
(although keep an eye out because he is also coming out with a matching rail at some point)

Frame: well, I haven't seen a new one in a while so I'd go for the Airwalk V2.

Trigger: RPG's Viper Pro

[SAMURAI "PREDATOR"]

Ill have to agree with ZONDO on this one, though those are some GREAT and UNQUIE looking mags something different is whats gonna catch the eye. And some of the new parts coming is whast gonna do it.

Or maybe some new style or custom milling on some of the rare RAILS, BODYS, FRAMES.
