It finally came!

[DarkPhoenix]

Roughly a week ago, I sent my RT Pro into AGD to have the E-mag upgrade done. I opted for a warp feed body and the gun completely black. After a week of anxiously waiting, it finally arrived yesterday. I took my new toy out to my favorite paintball field at Fort Eustis to try it out. I love this gun, it was an instant hit. The performance is outstanding! I am definitely glad that I took advantage of the upgrade and recommend that everyone seriously consider it.

I would like to thank cphillip, who helped me out with the upgrade process. Thanks Phil, the gun is so sweet, I am not worthy!

And to close, for any AGD people and those who have had the upgrade done, does the upgrade also come with the charger for the E-mag battery? I ask because I have not received one.

Once again, thanks to all who helped me get the gun and made it for me.

Me want...



Lucky dog...

You know pictures are now a requirement.

[cphilip]

Me too Sam! Me want one!!! Glad it worked out for you Dark.

Folks...All I did was help him out with some contacts to get him an RMA # early before his pay day so he could get it shiped on in as he is a Military guy. And it was a moment of patriotism going on. Jon and JoAnn actually did the work to help him out. I have no authority to actually do anything. All I did was ask them to help him and they did. All thanks should go to them. God bless them. Typical AGD right?

I do think the charger is available from Radio Shack. Good question though wether it comes with the deal. Others would probably like to know. AGD?

[AGD]

No Charger??? We blew that one, call right away and we will send it out. Do NOT use any other charger.

Thanks, Tom. You guys are really the best. I'll call first chance I get on Tuesday. Now, I have to rustle up my digital camera, take some pics and find a way to post the pictures (I've never done it?!) Does anyone know how to use the new fangled attachment function? Maybe I can post pictures using that vice hosting it on a website.

Take your pics, put them in "My Pictures". When you hit the browse button, it will take you to "choose file", from there you click on My Pictures, find the one you want and left click on it. It will automatically be dropped into the magical posting thingy and all you have to do is be amazed after that!

[DarkPhoenix]

OK! Let me try this....

[DarkPhoenix]

once again...

Another...

I've been experimenting between two styles for mounting the warp feed. The first was the tightest package, where I mounted the warp feed toward the rear of the gun, as pictured above. This presented a few problems, namely the hopper being in my face. The second method, which was slightly larger, the standard mount, which has the warp feed slightly forward of the grip and angled outwards. The standard mount creates a slightly wider package but greater comfort, especially since I have that JT Slam collar right there.

I was thinking of doing the mod that Evil Bob did in this thread http://www.automags.org/forums/showt...threadid=11992 , though it would make it hard for me to reach the charging button with that mod, it would still make a tight package while maintaining enought distance from my face to the end of the Slam collar for me to properly sight the gun. What do you guys (and gals) think?

Here are a couple of question which have come to mind. Does the conversion have a different serial than my original RT Pro? The valve is the same, so I wouldn't think it would. Is it possible to order the E-mag sight rail? Would I be able to mount either the Armson or Dye occluded sights on the RT Pro sight rail?

[FeelTheRT]

so in the upgrade process, they take your old valve and shove it in a brand new Emag right?

do they give you back your old RT body, rail, and frame?

[DarkPhoenix]

Because it was a RT Pro, they returned me an E-mag with the same rail and sight mount. I opted for the black warp feed body vice the polished power feed left body that I turned in on the RT Pro, I was told I could choose whatever body I wanted, so I chose to go with my prefered color in the warp feed style.

As for the sight rail, I am hoping to purchase a black E-mag sight rail, though I think it might cause a lack of contrast to the overall look.

The feel of the marker is very tight and compact, the added size of the tank, allows me to shoot approximately all 1000 rounds that I cary. Hey, my job is fire support, providing cover fire and the storm of paintballs to keep peoples heads down is not as easy as it seems. Thank goodness for weight training and Navy fitness routines, this gun is a heavy beast, I believe the closest approximation I can make is a little over 12lbs! It is definitely something you would need to get used to, I am still re-learning and I definitely need to strength train a little bit harder if I want to keep that multi-purpose role of fire support and weak side flank that I like to play.

Shartley, thank you for the compliment. I will post a second set of pictures with the second set up. Tell me what you guys think and I'll go with that one.

[DarkPhoenix]

Ok, guys. Here is the second set of pictures I told you about. Tell me which one you think is better.

Here's another view....
