What’s the price tag

Here's the link to his post. Has some pictures of what they look like. They maybe $250. Might need to double check though. Post #68 has the different fronts he offers.

What’s the price tag

$250 for the carbon fiber bodies. Search his name to find the threads.

He also mentioned bringing back the ULE Minimag and RT bodies which were $185 the first time around '13.

I want to build something nice. I know everyone says it’s cheaper to buy a built one. But I don’t mind going all and with this one

I think half the fun of 'Mag ownership is playing around with all the various interchangeable parts!

But you have to temper your expectations a bit - some parts hardly ever pop up, are pretty darn pricey, or take a while to be made. Let's be serious about that last one though - it's not producing the income to support a family or line one's pockets with money, it's a labor of love and enjoyment.

I am just getting back into paintball for i think the 3rd time. I always get mags and I told myself I don't need to go crazy and get a classic mag, so I did a week ago. Since then I have purchased a Lukes customer rail, foregrip and another mag with xvalve, intelli and ule. These things are addictive!!

Oh and I found another mag on the let go app, $60 with a booyeh frame.

Yea I know some are hard to find and some are not around. But that’s half the fun. I just want a good shooter to have fun with

I don’t know the first thing about polishing

Polishing is really easy. Start with a coarse sandpaper to smooth the glass beaded surface. I like a wet sanding paper. Start with something like 240 grit. Sand the whole body until there are no rough spots left from the glass beaded finish. Then, once the surface is nice and smooth, but dull, go to 400 grit which will give it a smoother but still dull look. The final stage should be 1000 or preferably 1500 grit to really smooth it and almost make it shiny. You finish the job by applying a metal polish with a terry cloth or something similar. The final result will be a mirror finish.

Another option for stainless bodies is to get a Cerekote finish. I had my Minimag body painted using Cerekote and it is holding up very well. It is supposed to be more durable that Duracoat or powder coating.

That doesn’t seem to bad just time consuming. Thank you.

I thought about that but need to find someone that does it.
