mag I just got

[mustangguy]

posted this in the wrong area, so moving it to here.

not sure what is all on this, just getting back into the sport after a 20 year break and have always wanted a mag. Was told by previous owner, who was told buy the person who put the frame on is off a PMI, the sear had to be modified a bit to get the safety to function he said. I see that the back half of the valve is different, but have no idea what it is. It looks like it has been polished or something. Barrel is a bob long. Can anyone help identify the body and anything else on it? Airs up well, no leaks, cycles fine dry firing.
I was planning on building a classic or 68, with xvalve, ULT, ULE body etc, are the parts on this one interchangeable?

was told its a level 7 bolt. Forgot to say that....

It has a benchmark frame, the body is a ptp micromag body. I am sure someone else can tell you what gen it is. You should be able to use an X-vavle in that body but may experience some issues with the lvlx due to tolerance differences. Also in regards to the frame if you decide to get rid of it the benchy single frames normally sell fairly fast.

What makes it a Classic is the valve. A "classic" valve. X valve is a different animal. Pretty much most AGD parts are interchangeable from one marker to another with the exception of the RT Classic. What you have is a unibody micromag. You can put other parts onto it, like intelliframes and different valves as well. Obviously, you cannot put a ULE body on it as the rail is integrated into the body. Xvalves should fit it, but some gens had issues with clearance with either the X valves or the Lvl10 bolts.

but double benchy frames with single triggers:

[mustangguy]

ya thought the trigger was strange, I assume I can get a double trigger for it fairly cheap....right? Anyone got one? Also how do I find out generation of body and if I will have issues with xvalve or level 10?

lol trigs can be replaced LOL

lmao, I didn't even notice that it was a double, I should have paid more attention huh. Thats what I get for looking at stuff at work.

It is a little odd to have a single trigger in a double frame. If you look through the Parts BST threads, you may be able to find one. You may want to look into an Intelliframe though if you want a double triggers. I do not have a double benchmark, but if they are as loose feeling as the singles, it would drive me nucking futs.

The body is mostlikly not a PTP micormag body. It looks more like the clone bodies someone made several years ago. I say this due to the detent being a cocker style & not the PTP style finger type detent.

prob right id have to look but if its cocker i cant think of a ptp that ever had one like that minus the new 2010 version i would pm tracy_ptp on here for a trigg but yea it will have a lil slop to it so u can shim it for sweetspoting your trigger for full auto with an xvalve

[mustangguy]

its definately older so I really doubt it would be a 2010 version. He did say it was a PTP body. I will try to get some contact info for the guy that built it, he would have been the guy that bought the body. But not sure if that will be possible, thats why I posted here. The knowledge on this forum is 2nd to none regarding mags!. Thanks for the help so far. If you need better pics or angles let me know.

if it has a cocker threaded detent its prob not a ptp

Definatelly a clone. Looks like the ones Jay sold here about a year and a half ago. Had one. Not the best ones around but they do the job. Paid $30 for mine, without the detent hole.

Double Benhmark frame with a single trigger (seen it before), Classic valve with some sort of custom back (8 hole, maybe?) and a finger speed adjuster, Dye Izon sight, bike grip, Bob Long barrel and a Shocktech drop and on/off combo. I'd pay $120 tops for it. Mayb $150 on a stretch.

The parts are interchangeable with other Mags.

The color on the valve back looks like polished aluminum (would be 8 hole already).

Robertsr1811 might be able to identify the clone.

Here's a thread about Benchmark triggers. Benchmark (PTP) frames are pretty well regarded and it should be worth finding a trigger for it.

I suspect that the previous owner modified the trigger to make the safety work, and not the sear (I hope).
