Thinking of buying Automag as first gun.

[magsRus]

Thats the exact tank I have on my minimag just makes sure you get the crossfire tank with the red neck and not the blue neck..the red neck is a preset output of 800psi the blue neck preset output of 450psi 450psi is to low to operate a mag. its a great tank and its worth your money

Thanks for the link, I will check that out too Is the Automag I have linked to decent, are those TKO parts good? Do you think the J&J barrel is a good choice or do you recommend something else? The field I play at uses Diablo Blaze paint.

J&J ceramic is a great all-around barrel, especially for the price, and I believe that it is a good bore match to Blaze. I have seen several other people on AO say that they are happy with the TKO mag packages, I would only recommend that you might check out the classefied ads here on AO(as spazzed mentioned) as you might find one cheaper and better equipped. I feel that the mag is a great first gun, solid as a rock and once you get comfortable with it you can fix any problem you might have(rare) in a few minutes. Most of the guys I play with have spyders, rebels, and tippmans and at least one of them has trouble every time we go play; cut o-ring, velocity won't tune, double fires, etc. My mag gets cleaned up and oiled after every use and is good to go when the next game comes around. Good luck and welcome to AO.

Thanks, I will definitely check out the classifieds too

I was just looking on ebay and found a bunch of stuff that action village has for auction, including mags! Check this out.

Hit the "View sellers other items" button and check out the other mag packages, might save you some $$$.

[Shirow]

refurbished though, do you think it's still alright?

or what about this one:

[boggerman]

Sure, there is really nothing to wear out on a mag, just replace the o-rings and it is as good as new. Besides, it has a star on the valve so you get AGD's factory warranty with it still. My first mag was way old when I got it and it still works just fine.

[Shirow]

I won't have the cash soon enough for that one, it closes in less than 24 hours.. what about the other one? (I get paid on Thursday) ah screw it i bid $175 on it.

i dont think an automag is good idea for a first gun. look in to pumps first. then if you get really good with that buy an automag. people who start with pumps and use them for at least 6 months are deadly because of how skill building a pump is.

[Shirow]

too late for that, i've been playing with semis for months already =p the field I play on has some pretty hardcore bastards (matrix, impulse, emag etc is what i'm normally up against) so playing with pumps would be really disheartening.

[Shirow]

What do you think of the barrel on http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=1849198513 would it need replacing? Hopefully I will win this and then I can afford a 68/4500 tank

[boggerman]

I have no experience with the PMI ceramic barrels, can't help on that one.

[magsRus]

personally I think if you are willing to buy an aftermarket barrel you should save up and purchase the FREAK KIT its the best barrel..(barrel kit) on the market that truely works like a wonder. If not I would go for a Lapco Bigshot, CP barrel, Smart Parts All American, DYE barrels are also very nice but will cost ya a bang for your buck which in the end your better off going for a 180 dollar freak kit instead of buying a 120 dollar DYE Boomstick.

[Shirow]

What about a J&J two piece? I'm willing to buy an aftermarket barrel but I'm not into spending $180 if a $40 barrel is just as good.

[Load SM5]

J&J Ceramic Barrels are really good. You can also look at CP barrels and Lapco's. They are all good barrels at reasonable prices. If you primarily shoot the same paint I see no reason to invest in a multi bore system. Aslo before you go buying a 4500 psi tank make sure your field can fill to 4500. Quite a few out there can't, and you'd be wasting your money.
