    Getting a new RT Custom

    My local shop has an on the shelf RT ULE Custom with all the upgrades, like RT and level 10 bolt. And I haggled the price from $400 to $350. I want to jump on the Automag owners boat. But I am wondering if I should get this one that he has. Or could I do better else where? I am going to pick up the gun tomorrow, as soon as I get the money. I want to turn it into a pneumag, with one of tunamans frames.

    350 for a new RT ULE is more than 100 less than from AGD, good find there really isn't much better out there. If it is a pnuemag your going for it is a great place to start.

        Yes, it has an X Valve. Pretty much everything is on it. I was debating on either that, or one of the used electrics. Like a gloss black Bob Long Protege for $375, '05 Ego for $250, new original Impulse $200, Infinity Legend $400, new Bob Long '05 Intimidator $300. But of course, I REALLY wanted to build a pneumag. And the electrics just seemed so nice. So I wanted to make sure I was getting a good find, before I spend my money on it. Or wait until I can find another one, and just get one of the electrics. He wants to get rid of it, since no one here in Miami, or anywhere else for the matter, appreciate Automags anymore. All the Miami city boys want the latest and greatest, fashionable name brand electrics. I think its been sitting there collecting dust on the display wall for years. Ive seen it before with the same sticky tape marks on the body since four years ago. Hes dropped the price, and it still hasnt sold, its just there in the corner of the wall. Maybe I should have asked for $300, but I didnt want to get greedy on him.

              Offering 300 wouldn't have been greedy. Always offer low so he can counter. But still, 350 for a new off-the-shelf 'mag is still great. Finding a deal like that on forums and whatnot would be tricky. 'Mags are still appreciated, just have to find the right people. I think I'm the only one at my local field in Des Moines that uses them.

                Yeah, I suppose it would have gone a bit up and ended somewhere close to $350. He sort of shook his head and thought about it for a moment before agreeing to it. So I guess I did pretty good for $350. Im known to be a cheap *** in that shop anyways. So he probably would have tried to squeeze out as much as he could out of me. Im always haggling in Mom and Pop stores. But I prefer to buy from them than through the internet. But I dont like paying the high prices either. Its like a balancing act. I really want to build a pneumag, and have an electric to the side too. I am going to sell my Ion and get some kind of high end stack tube poppet. Either a Bob Long, or an Ego. I like having a pneumag, but I dont want to give up on electrics after Ive tasted them. I am wondering if my Crossfire will work the RT trigger good. I know that it varies from mag to mag.

                  You don't need to worry about the tank's output if you're going with a pneumag since you won't be RTing.

                    Yes, but at first I will want to RT it. Then get the pneumag later.

                      I paid $385 for a slightly used version of what you bought. I felt like I got a great deal. You sir, got a steal.

                      As much as I love my pneumag, my E-cocker still runs circles around it, so I can understand why you still want an electronic gun. But the thing the Mag has on any generic "flavor of the week" electro is personality. Buy an Ego or Timmy if you must, but realize that your Mag will always be cooler.

                        Any Mag can be set up to R/T , a red Crossfire is a good start , i've got a couple that will R/T with just that

                          Well I got it, and tested it today. I chrono'ed it to around 270 before I ran out of paintballs. But I am having some bolt stick problems. I am going to try and put some oil in it, and shoot 20-30 blank shots to see if it will fix the problem. Ill probably post some pictures up soon. Yeah the Automag does have that "coolness" factor. But I am electro spoiled though, so this is different than what I am used to. That Intimidator did look nice though.

                            Tune your level 10 and oil it should fix the stick. If you want it to RT get a emag length on/off pin, works great with a crossfire reg for me. Pics ASAP, if you can.
