Viking or Xmag? Opinions...

I like that FL, but again, it appears to be the older style, with the longer bolt tube. And that feedneck looks huge! Plus, I think it has the stock blade, so tack on about $30 for a razor blade. But I like the black, its sharp.

With the switch, I have not noticed any issues with the small control bore. All I need it to do is to keep the ball from falling out, since mine is a closed-bolt marker. Honestly, I did not notice any differences in velocity jumping from the UL to the switch, and with our great efficiency, who would care anyways? Its positives greatly outweigh any potential negatives. The PBN AKA forum just did a mass-purchase of switch kits, and everyone seems to be happy.

Awesome. It's funn, I think I have my mind set on one of these and then I wake up in the morning doubting myself agian... I have it down to the black one, a dust blue feather w/ swirl (1400) and the DC stormtrooper. I want the DC the most, but I think it is way over priced.

New DC stormtrooper, $1,250
WAS,
Eye covers,
eyes,
no rider

His viking...
20kshots+ DC storm...
all of above
Sticky 3s - 25
JmJ - 35
Slotted bolt and stiffer springs... what does that run? 70?
----
$130
$1,250
----------
$1,380
- depreciation (100-200?)
It doesn't add up.
Unless I am missing some key part here....

Everyone I talk to loves their switch. So does all the pipe owners though.. and freak, except a few I know who torched their freak sets... Longbow I hear is good as well, but I don't ever see myself spending 300 on a barrel set.

BTW he has the JmJ, isnt on in that pic. I will probably take the black one if he will do 1200-1250. But that is as of 2 am tonight, tommrow I will want the blue swirl...

Edit: Ooh, blue swirl is a late 04 model. Hmm..

Cool, anyone tried the pipe kit? Or that other one with the inserts? Forgot what it is called. Warpig.com did a review on it. Looked pretty sweet...

Ok, for $1,200 + shipping... finger is on the buy button... think I should?


It is between that one and the stormtrooper. 50-50 tie.

Do it, but get a razor blade. The pipe is loud as heck, and the tip of the first gen bends easily. The switch is a better kit. The other might be the scepter, which is well-liked.

yay validation. must go buy now... he is including a razorblade trig.

I am still trying to find a switch owner who didnt like it....
