[OysterBoy]

Right now Im using a VL200, gonna buy a PMI (hah) just because Im starting a 'project hopper', so , yea.

Im poor.


CM, how much did you pay for your stuff?

ANd where abouts are you located?

Hey Oyster, where are you getting an I-frame for 130.00? If it's from a store and there's more than one, then I need one for my spare parts mag!

By the way, I'd say get the I-frame first and then save up 'till you can afford the X-valve withe the LX included.

its not on their online shop yet, but give Vince a call or email and he can hook you up, hes cool (tell him Alex H reffered you ) And right now hes got ONE X-Valve left for special price of 200, wish i had the cash...

But hes got plenty of I-Frames, ULE Bodys are 180, LX is 130 (Boo-urns)and Retros are 350.

Get a level x. They run for like 70 bucks on paintballgear.com Intelliframe is about 110 same place. Go for the level 10 first. Hope that helps.

BTW, what's CDN?

CDN= Canadian(or is it canukian? )

[OysterBoy]

Either will suffice.

Ok, hows this idea;

Im getting 170 for a spyder package I'm selling, so how about I buy the Level 10, and then get one of these:

I think its the perfect solution for now.

I reccomend you take this course of action

I'd say get the Intelliframe. Learn the trigger, keep the marker in good shape, and you shouldn't need the Lvl X immediately. My MiniMag ran fine with a Lvl 7 bolt for 7 years, so maybe I'm biased.

I would certainly recommend NOT buying a two-finger trigger and butchering a single trigger frame to make it fit however. Unless you have a foregrip or similar, it may not even be legal. Many fields enforce a rule that the trigger must be enclosed in a trigger guard.

Keep in mind, with an old classic valve, you will likely also need to replace the reg piston assembly when you go to the Lvl X bolt, which is another $15 USD.

[OysterBoy]

Yea I had thought of that so I may cut a slot out of the bottom, so one 'finger' fits in the trigger guard and one is outside. Ill ask them thursday when I goto team practice.
Thanks for the headsup.

hey u would be better off getting the level 10 because if u dont have it when u have your intelli, u will be chopping like crazy (not really, but u will chop.) ur intelli will be shooting a lot faster than your valve can keep up with. the level ten will help, then save up to by the i frame, and i can guarantee that u will be out on the field ripping with your i frame not chopping any balls in no time.
