    Automag and Minimag valves are identical ... plus the body rail/etc is identical

    The only major difference is the Minimag has a different body and it has the Vertical ASA

    If you want to upgrade get a standard Automag and put on an Intelliframe and HPA .. then an XValve (retro and level 10 all in one)

      Well, the only real difference between the Minimag and the regular 68 Classic is the body. Minimag has slits cut in the body up front. Plus it has a vert ASA on it.

      Trigger Frame, barrel and everything else is EXACTLY the same.

      Find whichever one is a lower price and go for it.

          2nd Time...

          There is NO difference between the guns. one is not better than the other. The TKO just comes with some fixin's.

              Exactly! A lot of people around here started with the TKO. It's a pretty good deal for the $$!

                Remember ... HPA tanks are a lot bigger than CO2 tanks, so running them with a remote might not be as comfortable. You might wanna look into it first, or go with a ongun drop instead.

                  Another plan is to buy a used one. They are easy to find and for the same price as a new one you can get one with a few good upgrades (Barrels, drops, hoppers, etc.) Mags are built like tanks and if anything goes wrong, 9 times out of 10 it's a cheap o-ring.

                    Good call Load. That's how I got my Emag originally. Bought her used.
