Want to start playing again. Any pro/classics around?

a new one pops up every now and then but your most likely going to be buying used. there are a lot of classic mags out there with ULE center feed, cocker threaded bodies on them that you can pick up and be at a closer starting point to what you want. check the buy, sell, trade section.

Why pick up a 2nd one? I would gather up parts for the build first, as they are easier to source, and if you want, pick up a valve and such. They do pop up ever so often. Even putting up a WTB post would get people who aren't selling a chance to do a private sale, as it were.

What is the deal with the RT on/off in a classic valve?

For a few reasons I been out of the regular playing scene for a while now (injuries, new house and a newborn daughter). But now I think I could get away once a month or maybe once every other month for some good old Rec ball again.

I still have my older gear but am contemplating picking up a new Semi shooter to play with as though I LOVE pump play my limited mobility thanks to said INJURIES means I think it’s time to play a bit more Semi. Now I have and love my classic mag (I have had it since I bought it new in 1999) but I’m contemplating getting something new and Center fed again for a change.

Primarily I was contemplating a GOG Enmey Pro or a Azodin KDII. Both would be more than enuff for my style of play (generally hopper ball for rec play or a two 100rnd pod pouch for scenario).

But I really LOVE my MAGS. So am now thinking about picking up another classic to build into my PERFECT marker. Classic valve LVL 10 bolt RT on/off (not sure why I have had x valves but I just like classsics better). ULE body with empire clamping feed neck, Direct mount on/off asa and a single trigger frame.

My question is are there any left over pro/classics out there to be had or am I shopping used (more difficult to find used mags for us Canadians). I know I could just modify my current mag but I have it setup close to how I bought it back in 99 and would like to keep it that way for nostalgia reasons (always fun to pull out old equipment to play like you used to).

I also know that going this route is far more pricey that other mech options available for no performance gains. But that’s less important than having something I know will run for 18 years trouble free that I will still enjoy shooting 18 years later.

Makes the trigger pull lighter.

Because with mags, you can never leave well enough alone

But it is what Laku said

Well after some more consideration. I think I will pickup a cheaper marker for normal play and maybe tinker a bit with my classic mag yet again (this poor old marker has had sooo many different setups over the many years and spawned quite a few more mags lol). Like some pointed out It just don’t make sense to get yet another mag. I have had a crazy amount of Mags over the years but always come back to this classic. I think I will just through in a LVL 10 bolt into it again that RT on/off I have some where and maybe pickup a docs twist lock adapter. It won’t be my primary marker anymore but it will still see use as will all my markers.

Thanks for the help
