    AO, small matrix upgrade predicament

    At the moment, this is my trix..
    Black 2k3 LED Matrix
    Black CP barrel
    Black CP reg
    PMI Pure Energy 68/45
    And an empire re:loader

    Eventually I will get a red bolt kit (efficiency isn't really my main worry about this marker, all day air is available), PBC lpr, and an EggII. There wil be some other misc cosmetic things as well. Anyway, I really dont know what order to buy these in, I was thinking EggII, red bolt kit, and then PBC lpr... or the kit then the egg then the lpr. Either way the lpr will be last. So, AO I turn to you, EggII or bolt kit first?

    Go for the bolt kit unless you tend to out shoot your current loader. I usually prioritize my upgrades according to cost. I don't have deep pockets so when I decide to get something I try to get the most expensive item and work the list down from there to make it easier for me.

    BTW have you seen the slambolt tha aardvark makes? It looks pretty sweet and might be an alternative to the red you are looking at. You can check it out at www.aardvarkdirect.com if you haven't seen it. Aardvark makes some great stuff for the matrix.

      Yeah, if my pockets were 90$ deeper I'd have gone with the evolve over the red.. but as stated the efficiency of my marker isn't really a big deal. I can probably get an eggII for about 50 bucks used, same price as the red kit, hence my question.

        i can sell you my evolve bolt kit for 125. it has been used about 6k shoots paint and 15k air. got both bolts to. i sold my trix and the guy wanted to keep the cost down. so i put the stock bolt back in for him. Evolve is so great for efficiency. my friend is also sellign a clear egg 2(not yboard) for 35. email if you are interested i got pics [email protected] or aim at ajb1283

              Yes, and NOT the Evolve, I dont believe he stated he currently had a red bolt.

                  Right now you can get red bolt kits for 50 with gun20 chip from aardvark at www.aardvarkdirect.com. Or you can get the slam bolt which sounds like it's gonna be awesome. Oh, and instead of an egg, get a halo, the egg won't keep up, believe me.

                        It is true, and its been confirmed by Aardvark and Evolve.

                            Yeah, we established all of that. The reason I'm not getting slam is because I can't afford it. Cheap is the way to go in my opinion, its not like fills are more than 4 dollars anyway.

                            I set bps to 11 cause it's kind of un-necesarry to shoot anything over that especially when you play front, I was really just looking for a light trigger, something that won't shortstroke.

                            I read all that stuff about the bolt kits going out of production, I better get saving, just bought an eggII for 35.

                              Well it's been said by others that bolt kits are going out of production, correct? LPRs and hoppers will be around longer than that, so I'd get the red bolt kit first. Wouldn't it suck if you bought either the LPR or hopper and then not have the money for the bolt kit before it disappears? =)
