    Buying first automag...need help

    OK, i want to buy an automag. put together by me.
    I want a black body minimag or powerfeed(right feed)
    I will get the level 10 upgrade at some point
    SO...

    I want to buy the body - $120.00 from AGD

    I dont want to have to upgrade the valve in the future so what valve should I get?

    What else do i need once i have the valve and the body and a gripframe?

    please list what i need and let me know where to get them please. can i get the internals in a package or something?

    thanks

      Start off with an X-valve. It's $325 if you straight up buy it, but it's the top of the line as far as valves: It's an aluminum (lighter than Stainless) Retro valve (faster than classic AIR valve) that comes with the level 10 (effectively preventing all ball chopping if you set it up right). If you wait till next week or so, Tom Kaye will have the ULE bodies (aluminum, cocker-threaded, available in colors) available. No word on the price, yet, but i'm thinkin around $175-$200...
      Also, you want an Intelliframe. This is the best trigger-frame available for a mag. Usually around $120. But it's worth it. I love mine. The trigger is shorter and crisper than the DYE or Benchmark frames, plus you can install a switch and wire it to your Revy (like an Angel's intellifeed system...)
      The Internals, I know Tunaman sells the internals, and I'm prettysure he can get ahold of an I-frame and X-valve for you.
      The main thing to remember is don't buy into the hype of aftermarket companies (ANS, etc) with parts for the mag. These parts, in most cases, have an adverse effect on the markers performance.

      And by the way: Welcome to AO!

        Most everything has been mentioned earlier but you will need a rail to help hold everything together. You can get standard ones from AGD, used ones from here, or contact the aforementioned Tunaman about an omega rail. Omega rails are a little fancier than stock ones. I have one on my chrome no-rise, link in my sig. Oh and welcome to AO, enjoy the ride!

          I have a black minimag body hopper right that I want to sell for $100 shipped. It's in almost new condition except for a blemish mark where the hopper goes, but you wouldn't even notice it with a hopper on it. Inbox me if you want it!!
