Bushmaster Upgrades?

[Jonno06]

Hello everyone,I just traded my autococker for a bushmaster,and I just want to know what are some good upgrades for it(frame,barrel,bolt,ect)...thanx

here is the pic also..

[dropkick1]

do u know what generation bushmaster it is, b/c depending on the generation, some stuff u need and some stuff u don't, but anyways, vapor works ahs a lot of good modifications/upgrades and i know powerlyte makes an aftermarket trigger frame for them which i hear is pretty sweet.

ditch that god awful stock reg (i know from expierence), and get a sidewinder. Other then that it should be find, maybe get a rock reg on your lpr. maybe vaporization?

but first thing you do, ditch the reg!

o yeah, and maybe a new frame, get that mac dev frame, its nasty!

[Jonno06]

for the reg...definitly a sidewinder..how much is it?and where?

for the frame..i was actually looking at the new 2k3 frame from ICD..

i am pretty sure its a gen 5 b/c it has 5 finger grooves instead of 6 on the reg.

About the macdev frame? I thought they stopped making them?...do you know where i can get one?

how much also?

thanx!

(oh,where do i see what vaporization and all that stuff cost/is?)

You Need Stuff

Get yourself a Powerlyte Grip Stix Bushmaster frame (I have one on my Bushmaster and I love it) and I agree with the other posters, get yourself a replacement high pressure regulator. I have a MacDev on my Bushmaster but a Palmer or other quality reg will do fine. I think Palmer even makes a green one that will match your paintgun. You will, I believe, require an adapter to thread an ASA-threaded aftermarket regulator into the Bushmaster. Planet Eclipse makes an outstanding aluminum one. Here's my Bushmaster.

The only think you REALLY need is a Chaos Chip. I got one on mine and I am VERY impressed at how much faster the gun will shoot now. I still run my reg etc stock - but I know alot of people prefer new inline regs. www.vaporworks.com i think is Goldies url - he can hook you up - he knows alot about them.

Looks like a Gen 2 or 3 at the latest. probably gen 3 since its green.

as far as upgrades, none are required.


the vapor bolt is cool
a new reg is nice but your on an adjustable nitro by the pic, so not required

looks like a 6 groove reg to me, the one below the guage counts so its the older reg definitly

dont bother with a new bolt unless you have blowback.

the micro rock mod is cool, but once again, not needed.

my list for a bushy is as follows

reg (I love the ergo regs by worrgame, cheap and run great at all but the lowest pressures. if its above 100psi, look at these), (i like to run screw ins on bushys) vert adapter for the reg, (lapco one is the best IMHO) heaver trigger spring, (easier to get a rythem) Vapor valve, and some stickies

actually i think thats a 2nd gen bushy bc it doesn't look like u've got the hi rise that came with 3rd+. but defitnatly get vaporized, vapor parts on their site, maybe a chaos chip, and a new hpr sidewinder would do nicely. http://www.vaporworks.net/bm2k.html thats where u can get vapor stuff.

[Jonno06]

I am on Vapor's site now...

I am going to play this coming up sunday with it to see how it feels and all...

as for the reg..ill go with sidewinder..which is by macdev right?

so whats their site?..thanx.

i want some kind of blade trigger on it,so i am thinking new 2k3 icd.but vapor sells a very nice trigger,and it comes with some of the packages i was looking at. I want a freak,eventually.but not right now. Can i put a rock on,as an LPR,like they do on Impulses?...if so,how?
what is the best bolt? Vapor?

Thanx so much for all the help everyone.

[paintslinger]

yes u can look on the vapor site and they sell an adapter or a whole kit with a micro rock http://www.vaporworks.net/prod_fmd.html hope u have fun with ur bushy.

[Automaggin2]

yo dont need a new bolt, waste of money....huge wast....dont buy them. the stock bolt is very nice. yes, im positive, sidewinder!

[Jonno06]

ok,so basically i call up goldie,and i just tell him i want vapor mod,max chaos chip,and the lpr rock adapter and rock?

what about the red valve vs vapor valve?

which is better?

where can i find a macdev frame?

thanx,you guys rule.

[Jonno06]

ok,i have been looking around,and i decided to get the ICD 2k3 frame.

Then,I was looking at regs. The sidewinder is 95 unannoed,and is for LP.
The gladiator is 85 in chrome or black,and is for higher flow(?)

which should I get? Is my bushy LP?...Would that "rock lpr" make it LP?


(i dont really care if my gun is LP or not,i just want it to be effiecient,consistant,and fast..thanx)
