    Just play with that one.

    If you want an RT Pro ULE just buy one.

    You will spend less buying another used marker then buying parts to upgrade that one.

      going_home speaks truth!

      Besides, once you have one, you will want another anyway!

      Welcome to the brotherhood.

          Absolutely can be used with HPA...Mags prefer it. Use a standard 800-850 output tank and she will be happy as a clam.

          I would probably invest in new orings and seals. If it hasn't been used in years, it probably needs them. Mags are very reliable but also very dependent on oring integrity. When orings get old and brittle, you need new ones to maximize your Automag happiness.

          Get some good synthetic oil and keep your 'gun oiled well. A few drops in the ASA each time before use will also help keep things running right. If you need to buy oil, look into either Outlast oil or Super Lube synthetic oil (its what I use).

            Welcome to AO.

            A minimag isn't a minimag once you change the body to ULE. The body is what makes a mini-mag what it is. It looks like you have a hurricane valve on the back, so the valve isn't a full mini-mag valve anymore.

            Definitely get an air bottle. All rapid fire guns do much better with compressed air than with CO2. The next upgrade you need is a level 10 bolt. And, you should get an oring kit and change the orings. That way you will be starting fresh, so you shouldn't have any problems.

            If you are planning major upgrades, you might want to invest in a whole gun with all the upgrades on it. It will be less expensive.
            Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

              Thanks for the welcome. I have hpa tanks so I’m good there. I do wanna upgrade the bolt just need to order it. I’m probably going to keep the body as is. As for the valve that’s in it I have no idea it’s what came with it. This weekend I’m cleaning it up and seeing how the inside looks. Where a good place to get O-rings?

                Welcome!! I'm new as well to the whole Automag scene. I recently got a ULE Automag.

                I'd say look to Tunaman or Luke's Custom for o-rings. They are really active on here and can help you out, as well as any other member. Very helpful group here.

                    I just checked. It is a hurricane valve.

                      That body would look great if you got it highly polished or maybe even jeweled .

                        I think from reading his post that Xmagterror is going to be making some carbon fiber two piece ULE bodies late this year. You can get one with a minimag front to keep the look but it would meet your ULE requirement.
