Just bought an X Mag!!! AHHHHHA

[Stayhuge]

Hey everyone, saw This on the Bay and couldn't let it pass me by. Didn't even think I would win it, but amazingly my bid stood. I think I am going to get it annoed. Not sure what to do though and if I should.

Will the value drop if it is not the original anno? Also, should I try to find the XMAG barrel and warp breach prior to annoing? Not sure what those are going for nowadays. Thanks guys!!

Congrats on you XMag purchase!


Go ahead and get her ano'd since she is missing the matching ano'd vert breech. And the odds of actually finding a matching ano'd breech and barrel are working against you anyways. Contact me when you get her so I can update the Xmag owners list with your name!

[Stayhuge]

Thanks ATach. I will let you know. I think I am going to try and hold onto her. I will just have to sell everything else I own to try and balance it out. Can't wait!!!

So you were the one who snagged that. I spotted it about 10 seconds before the auction ended. Looks like you got a good deal.

I picked up this one myself:

Still waiting for it to show up.

Nice, I saw that one. I was going to offer, but you snagged it before I could. Very Nice!!! I would have liked that one, cause I wouldn't have to get it annoed. Oh well, can't get everything, haha.

I was thinking and this is what I am planning to get:
1. New feedneck (Not sure what to do here though. Any suggestions?)
2. DW Fibur barrel (I like these better than the Freaks, plus won't have to get it annoed)
3. New trigger. Looking for a blade type (Any suggestions?)
4. I think I may need to upgrade the software. Is there someone that performs this service, or a place that I can download it from? Not sure how that works. I'll look through the stickies, Sure there is something there.
5. ANNO!!!

The last I need some advice for. Who can I trust to do the anno on this puppy? Not Gruntbull after Bunny5's incident (Sorry man, I feel for you). I was looking into 125customs or something like that. Anyone use him before? Also, Bunny5, if you are still doing that photoshop stuff, can you run some pics of different anno schemes for me. Not sure what I want to do yet. I like the acid wash, but from what I have seen, more people seem to go with a fade on X Mags. Curious if there is a reason for that trend, and if I would be screwing everything up if I went with the acid wash.

As always, you guys are awesome and I look forward to any and all advice!!!!

I have see a few acidwashes. They are out there but arn't the most common. I think the fades are more common as it was a factory anno where the acidwash wasn't.

wetwrks.....that is a beautiful gun you picked up and the price was crazy low!

Definitely a good deal. Not as good as a deal as the seller originally got

There are some very nice acid washed xmags. I think there is one for sale in the bst's right now. The black and red acid wash.

I kinda like my acid wash too...

[Stayhuge]

I am thinking a brown and black acidwash. I actually have a freak bored dye ultralit barrel that I will be using. If Bunny has a chance, I would love to see a digital image of what this looks like. Looking for this to be a woods ball/speedball gun, so the colors have to be somewhat covert! Haha.
Also, if anyone has suggestions on feednecks or anodizers, that would be awesome!! Thanks!!

damn, nice picxk up, If i would have waited a few extra days, I would have traded you breeches. I just sent my gloss blue out for reanno.

anyways, nice X man


The feedneck mod is fairly easy. Hardes part is getting the old one out.

[xero28]

Very nice.

So does that mean that this will be your primary and your new Blazer will be 2nd or 3rd string.

Not that it really matters I guess, but I'd try and get the breeches swapped if they aren't already stripped... But thats me....

I was also watching that one and was wondering what it was going to go for.... if I had money I'd had bid on it...

Nice pick up and welcome to the club!

125customs is a good company for anodizing! they did my pump mag in two solid colors, and both the work and pricing were definitely reasonable. fast turnaround too!

nice grab on the Xmag and good luck with your project!

[wetwrks]

If I were to have an X annoed I would check with A-Tach and see who he has do his.

[Stayhuge]

Very nice.

Yea, trying to sell the minitac so I can pay for the anno and additional parts. The only reason why I even had the funds to get this was because I just sold a ton of stuff and shipped it out yesterday. I am still in the red, so the sale of the tach should get me back in the black again. I can't wait for the blazer to show up. In the last 3 days, I have completely revamped my whole paintball collection. In the end, I think I will end up fairly even, maybe even ahead, but it is going to take a month or two before eveything is complete.

If I were to have an X annoed I would check with A-Tach and see who he has do his.

Yea, I will have to check with him. He did say that I might as well get it reannoed, since the breach doesn't match. I am guessing that he used The Fool or Bazooka Boy, who aren't taking work at this time, I think. I'll check with him Thanks again eveyone!!!
