Best looking mag without a forgrip?

[Flatliner333]

Yup Nitroduck with adjustable reg 3000 psi tank.

Back in the day I never used a fore grip on my Mag but my bottle was in a ring cradle and sat way forward under the gun.

I had an almost identical setup except I flipped the tank around backwards. I didn't want the reg taking hits.

My minireg 2 took a lot of hits back in the day. It's funny. For all the people that complain about marker today. They would have a stroke over the weight of the old top end markers with hpa setups

Less recoil...

No doubt you've seen this photo on the web before, but this'll be about the closest visual example as to what you're describing. If weight is a real priority for you, keep in mind though that Y-frames are rather heavy - the lightest would be good ol AGD carbon fiber frames. You could try getting a Y-frame milled, though.

Do pump mags count?

I had forgot all about that article. Been a long time.

As far as a goal or anything. No goal. Just ideally lighter than what ive used for the last couple deckades if i actually go forth with this. And since i never use my forgrip that appears to be a disposable item at this point. Currently I use a 100% stock classic rt with a Y grip on it. And a dye ultralite barrel. Yes I could strip a lot of stuff to shed weight. But it has a nastagia deal going. I fell in love with these markers back when they first hit print in late 95-96 ??? So I can't bring myself to change this one. I currently have enough parts to put together another Ygrip mag with the same body. And may start there price wise and just tweek it as I am willing to let go of money. Paintball is not my #1 place to put spair money. And currently I desperately need a new hpa bottle. Sooooo.

But anyways since I hardly ever saw pictures of mags without a forgrip. I finally decided to just post the question since many people do hoard picks.

I just finished building my first pump mag the other day. I love it.

Here is a project I am taking over. A cocker Eclipse frame that was turned into a frame/rail combo by TimmyJay and XMT I believe. I'm like the 4th owner. Here is what it used to look like:




I personally have to have a forgrip to make it work for me so this is what I plan to do with it:



But if you want to know my favorite forgrip-less gun then it would have to be the Gen1 Micromag.



Especially with a vert feed adapter.

Lightestest you could probably get would be an XMT cf xule body with a cut down Lukes ultralight rail and have him ule mill the ygrip as well.

The barrel is crooked.......

Honestly a late 90s micro is winning me over. I always loved them back in the 90s but couldn't afford one.

Sadly now...... If this crossfire issue isn't solved (and I don't expect it to). I now have to buy 2 new hpa bottles. So no gun in the future for me.
