Would it be smarter to build from scratch?

[No4nrice]

Hey, I want to get back into PB soon. I was thinking of an Rt pro when this came to my mind. I could just build a mag from scratch. All I would need is (add on if I'm missing something please:

ULE body
body Rail
Trigger Frame
X-valve
Sear (comes with x-valve)
Field strip screw
Autococker Barrel

Is that it. That would be roughly $560 without the barrel, $30 more than an Rt pro. What kind of advantages would I see from doing this than buying an Rt and slapping my old jacko inifinity 14 inch or my J&J 2 piece 12 inch? I know it would be lighter, and more custom, but any other advantages? Thanks and God Bless

I think that the RTP's are going to come with X-valves and ULE's soon.

Yea Tom said that they are going to make them some time son, so i would just wait.

[No4nrice]

Rock on. It's going to be about 2-3 months. You think they will be outby then? thanks and God Bless

you forgot something....


THE SEAR PIN!! BAHAHAHAHA!!

anyway.. i dunno how long that would take tho you know... i mean think about it.. when they say soon.. it does take a while.. then add on the delays and stuff

I like your name :)

Yes that'd be a good route if RT pros dont come out with that stuff soon. If you are waiting 2-3 monthes anyways thats good. If by then they have it, buy it, if they dont, go your way. I'd personally build the mag like that anyways just because I dont care much for RT looks

[punkcmonkiez]

i would also build my own because i dont care for the rts looks... and if you do build yourself.. talk to roguefactor, he can hook you up with everything you need..

You forgot the front grip frame screw..

[dinger]

any mag is better than anything else

[Marek]

The Rt Pros are going to have X-valves and ULEs with them; possibly even the ULT, which would be sweet.

Roguefactor's stuff is really cool, and I would say build a mag with his parts. But, if you don't want to buy piece by piece, get the RT Pro.

What's a rail bushing?

Sorry Thordic.. I had to ask and steal your line...

[jaylock33]

A small metal tube that keeps the rail and the body lined up.

And a very important piece at that. I had some mega problems when mine fell out and i didn't realize it, fortunately it was still in my shop.

Peace,
