I'm in the same boat. For me I know what I want to end up with, it's just getting there without making too many mags along the way

Won't happen! I started with one,had as many as 25 at one point, and I'm at around 12 or is it 15? Plus lots of parts. It's just too much fun.
I've had to limit myself to selling something before buying more, not working too well but the ideas there. Dig through the "Markers" and " Misc." sections. And check the "feedback" form, make sure your dealing with the good people, long time AO'ers ,pretty good bunch.

Sell the extras. Most times if you buy it right you can sell off the extras and pay for the part you bought the marker for unless you over pay. Lurk through the BST's to get an idea of what parts sell for individually and price accordingly. Make sure to get accurate examples as there are some sellers that IMO are way overpriced and sit on parts for months on end. Just buy smart.

Sage advice. there from OPBN.

Thanks a lot guys! bowcycle actually gave me a really good deal with the mag above as a starting point - not a ULE body I know but it came with a barrel and will be more than usable while I save up and lurk for "the one". I'll more than likely go through your guys' sell threads to look for the other pieces I plan on replacing along the line and make sure to keep an eye out for them

PS: AH, just realized you were the one selling the Phoenix body I wanted to buy, knownothingmags. It was sad - no one was buying it up to the day before I got into mags. Then, the same day I decide to jump in the pool and be a mag owner, I go back to your thread and it's sold lol. Let me know if you ever get another (rail or no rail)!

For your first mag, get a classic valve with a lvl 10 bolt. If you want a vert feed, something like the one on the right is perfect.

I like the double angle on that cocker.
