    Humm .. Where I have seen that MicroMag before ...

    I saw a picture of it the other day, but I can't place it right now. Hopefully I'll be able to find it again.

      It was traded to blake_sw I think.

      Hey Vanced, just wondering but why did you switch the dye stickies w/o the dye logo thing for ones that do have it? Did you have extra pair lying around or did you make a trade or what?

      Do you think they look that much better?

        It is all flat black. I just like flat a bit better than Gloss. It dosen't show finger prints, doesn't show scrathes as bad, you don't have to constantly buff & polish it to make it look good, and paint will just whipe off without smearing. I hope it preforms as well for you as it does for me... But I am not a flashy kind of guy... Same finish on the Body, Vert Bottle Adapter, Vert Hopper Adapter, and Drop, I also have a flat black Armson Barrel for it.

        As for the Drop Forward...(flat black) Yes it has a quick strip thumb screw... I love it , with a quick turn and tank slides off, since the tank is dove tailed it works beatifully with out the need for the NW pull pin... which I do have on my other VF MicroMag becuase I needed a differnt drop to get a 114 CI tank tucked up under .... It is very tight and is the perfect fit to get my tank right up under the fram and balanced where I want with the Big heavy front end of the SS AA Reg...



        link for it only $19.99 since it doesn't have any other kind of tank adapter with it... pic at end...

        As for the Grips yeah I had a black one with the logos from my single trigger benchy. I just think it matches well and picks up the logo off the tank cover nicely.
        I have WAY too many extra pieces laying around and now several grips anyway...As for the E-chamber instead of the PTP, just adds that much more room for some minor customazation to add alittle more spice the the plain flat black base color I like.


        Well I hope that answers the questions... and any more feel free... thanks again for the kind compliments...

          Thanks for answering all the questions. Awesome setup. It's cool how you got all of the flat black pieces and how it matches well.

          I'll get pictures up as soon as my stuff arrives!

            Let me interject one thing on those vertical feed mouths...

            I just got one of the new Halo B's and it fit real nice and tight without anything in there to modify it. Couldn't fit any better. Like it was made for it. This was without any modification to the neck or the Halo B. Right outa the box.

            So you was looking for an excuse to buy one anyway right?

            Special note: that E Micro mouth is the same inside as the EMags SS Center feed body is. Its not any larger than that one is. Both fit nice in there wit Halo B at least the new Halo B's.


            AGD, where we are so good we can do it with only ONE tube!

              I got the adapter on the my vert feed as you can see...

              BUT I agree 100% with Phil...

              You "don't" need it if you have a Halo-B. The thing fits very well right out of the box. But my vert was already scratched from the adapter when I was use'n the revy on it. And I had to sand down the Halo-B a good bit to get it to fit my feed collar. And if I hadn't already had it on there I wouldn't of got it if I had my Halo-B at the time. If I ever have it re-anno'd I probably won't use the adapter and get a fresh Halo Body. But it looks & works good enough for now, with the slight cumstom look over any other Vert Feed Micro Body I guess....

              And Phil, I also agree you don't need any more excuses to Buy a Halo-B the thing just plan rocks... Nice Micro-E BTW. I am thinking of trading my PF Micro-RT and some $ for one if I can lucky and find someone looking one... I have been considering going "E" for the last few years, just always the arguement I don't play enough to justify the cost.

                Hey Vanced.. Do you have a ReTro valve in your marker? If not, you should consider getting one. It would shoot great with your HALO-B

                And the only reasons I don't have a HALO-B is:
                A) I have a 12v rev already, and I am going to link it up w/ my i-frame, and I think it will feed fast enough for me.
                B) I'm not that fast of shooter.
                C) I play front and don't need very long strings for long periods of time.
                D) I'm an AGGRESSIVE front player, so I move around a lot, and make a lotta bunker moves. So the weight issue of the HALO also adds hesitation.
                E) And no matter how many pictures of the HALO next to the 12v Rev..it STILL LOOKS BIGGER TO ME! Maybe I'm just dumb, and ignorant. But it just seems bulkier to me. I dunno..I guess i've just used the 12v rev for so long..
                F) Price. I know paintball is expensive, and this is the best loader on the market. But it just seems dumb to me to buy a 100$ loader when I have 50$ one I've had forever and works fine for me.

                Anyway.. I know that looks like a lot of reasons, but they probably aren't very good. So you may see me pick one up sometime

                  Yeah, Both my Micro's Have ReTro Valves in it... The one above is one from Pro Team it has the MicroMag name laser engraved on it... the other is just a Plain ReTro Upgrade from AGD ( Yes I know AGD makes um both & and logo is only difference )

                  And notice the title of the thread...

                  "My MicroMag ReTro - 2000"

                  So Yep... playing in reactive trigger Mode... even though since my level 10 mod , it doesn't seem to be quite as reactive, and haven't found a way to tune in quite yet. But waiting till I get a new regulator piston with a higher blow off point, it is an older RT valve so it is capping my velocity at about 280... but that is in the level 10 problems thread in the Tech forum... just hoping once I get around to that, It will help my lack of a good Reactive Trigger... But luckily I have a very quick finger with only a slight noticable let off in RoF, just have to work a bit harder to get it...My other valve is minus level 10 and it just sweet spots pefectly... but with the occsional chop issue.... And curious if my other valve will need a new Reg Piston as well if it goes level 10...

                  But Hey ... Got Parts... Will Tinker...

                  As for the Halo-B... As so much else in paintball... It's a personal choice... And I don't like to nock anyone's choice, the Revy is still the norm out there...but my only suggestion is see if you can borrow one and give it a shot... it may just tip you over the top into wanting one...

                  And glad I could answer any questions shot at me... and nice to see so many othter Micro's out there, but if we keep this up going to end up a Micro Classic Thread... LOL
