Gents,
Thanks for all the great insight and advice. This is a great forum.

I did get to play a few games with my friend's classic, which started my love affair. Currently the plan is to put a qloader on it so no worries about the warps not being made anymore.

I think you guys nudged me into pulling the trigger...end goal being something like the below

Back when AO was struggling with its need of updates, many of us set up shop on MCB so that some info would be sure to be propagated. We have chewed quite a few ears off over there.

Once you ping someone in the dome with a mechanical mag, you'll never go back. Incredibly satisfying.

hey, did you see this 'mag yet? pretty fair for what you get.

Damn, that's a good price for what it comes with it. Parted, you would spend more for everything there: the X valve, Yframe & ULE body. The rest is just "Sauce for the Goose, Mr. Savik".

Thanks! i'll hit him up for the details.

Buy one. You won't regret it and it will most likely not be your last Mag.
Personally I like the modularity Automags offer - being able to swap and combine rails/frames/bodies/valves in such a wide array of combinations is quite unique in my opinion. And like most other people here, I always dreamt of getting a "fully-loaded" Mag back in the 90s...

I LOVE my mags.. I have owned quite a few different markers in my days - tippys, cockers, phantoms, an ion, and a piranha.. most of which are gone now - and always find myself bagging them back up mid morning and busting out my mag. The crisp trigger pull, the stability, the modularity to make it comfortable for YOU.. They are just awesome. You're an experienced autococker guy, so you must like to tinker. They very much are the lego of paintball markers. Build it, strip it, reconfig it. You'll have fun!

This is my incredibly biased opinion.. lol

Maintaining the muscle car analogy; "There's no substitute for raw horsepower."
I have only two Mags; a level 7 I bought new and now use for loners when guys have their various flavors of electro's cack on them and an RT ULE (with ULT) that I also bought new and enhanced with 1200 psi tank. Other than that and a good barrel, it's all stock. It gives up nothing to the electro guns in my opinion.

More to the point, you can get a poop-eating grin when you go up to the chrono range or in the field and you lay a stupid RoF down with a mech. That is just a RT type valve with some on/off magic, not counting a ULT, pneumatics or a more than 800psi tank(my Xvalve is set up on a 800psi older crossfire and when i hit that sweet spot, i can empty a hopper).

[Cyco-Dude]

well, looks like you got a nice one cmaples, have fun with it!

Nice snag.

Its generally less money to get a fully upgraded mag than to buy parts upgrading a classic.

The phrase "upgrading a classic" strikes me as odd lately. Sometimes I just want to play with a classic. Not necessarily a stock classic, but I tend to think of them as different animals.

I think about "changing" a mag, as opposed to "upgrading" it. It's just a side effect of having multiple mags I guess. The odd part is how often we say "upgrade" when I see a lot of other people building on classics still.
