    as for upgrades: you said it has a shocktech ram/ram cap.....nice, they dont wear out bumpers so youve got that taken care of, and the ram cap is adjustable. Next id say slot your stock bolt. Most people agree that the stock bolt is the best available, and i agree. Cut detent slots into it, theres info on PBN about that. Only other upgrade i can think of is a techna trigger. Yes theyre pricey, but theyre worth it. They definatly increase your ROF, and lesssen bounce.

          You made the right choice with the timmy. I didnt like the feel of the viking and excals i shot. But youll love the timmy

          Props to echo419 for the sig

            Purely based on resale, say a year from now, the viking will whip the timmy. Those prices are already sinking in the toilet, especially with more and more af the second generation showing up at stores. Viking all the way, and made way better.

                  Totally agreed. The viking is going to be pretty rare, I think that will drive it's value up. The Timmy, however, won't have that. First, theres a TON of them around. Second, there are a couple Timmy clones out or about to come out that are supposedly equal in performance but cheaper.

                    Most people don't like old guns that aren't being made anymore. I think it will be the same case with vikings.

                      I don't thinks so. Look at the Typhoon, even though it's still being made, it's considered old technology by a lot, those things sell for premium prices used. Some guns go down the drain, others don't.

                          I have seen very few people have problems with their Timmys(at the fields I play at), maybe it's just me, but I thought they were pretty reliable guns as long as you don't mess with them if you don't know what you are doing. Not sure though.

                            No we got real gun techs here and have timmys down all the time, having problems and being overall ghey.

                            9/10 people here have timmys... other 1/10 have 03 shockers.... I'm the only person with a mech gun excluding the rental's... *sniff*

                            Even my friend who used to shoot a sweet black magic got it ebladed... and these guys that used to have revenges like me... went and got a lasoya and dm4... WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TOO... oh yah... my rich buddy's dad bought him a Dm4 on top of his 03 WASed Viking... *stab*

                            AKA/AGD are like the only companies I support... and PMI... cause they rox...

                              The great irony here is the viking is probally, err was, the best gun on the market. around 3 lbs, effiencent, very smooth, extremely relible, and sold by a good company.

                              You can trade for a timmy now and pay more for your next viking or you can keep your viking. Remeber that the classic timmys dont shoot all that differently than the latest and greatest timmy. so keep in mind that you are trading your viking for a fancy milled gun you can buy on the used market for less than 500 bucks.

                                Dude squid seriously man you'll regret this. I could trade my gun for a timmy to anyone at my field. They are always breaking down. But when they are up and running they are nice but still aren't as fast as our vikings. They break more paint then what I've noticed also. The only reason I would trade my gun for a timmy is for the weight factor. Our gun weight 2.11 pounds which isn't that much. I would wait like 3 more months before u traded it or sold it. See how the market goes.
