    I wouldnt suggest running 12grams on a Pump Mag... at least not without a regulator. Pump Mags are notorious for being extremely inefficient with 12grams, and mounting one horizonatlly (so the liquid CO2 can pour into the hose and then into the valve) can't possibly be a good thing. Also, with a vertical changer you still have the option to swap out for a 3.5oz tank if you ever wanted to.

    If it were my project, I would do one of two things. I would try to get a Palmers Female Stabilizer bottomline setup and run a changer off of that. If that didnt work out, I would run a Palmers Stabilizer reg off the side of the valve its self (seen people do this with Phantoms before) and then run stainless line down to a vertical foregrip changer.

    Other than that, I really like what you've got so far. It might not be #1 but its definitely among the top 5 pump mags Ive seen concerning looks. Nicely done indeed!

      Muzikman, I put my CF single trigger frame on there and my RPG 15* asa so it slants backwards, I did have to modify the trigger gaurd, but it sits against the 15* asa so it doesnt look that bad, I still need to smooth it out. My hand still hits the asa a little when I pump, but maybe I can adjust how I hold the pump handle and make it work. It does look real good that way. Especialy since I just got my hardline mounted on it, still waiting on the quick change though.

      davidmoore, I am wanting to keep this marker as true to stock class as I can. I want to get this working with 12 grams, and working good. Also id love to have a palmers stabalizer on it, but it will have to wait a few months for me to save up $100. I am not sure if id rather have a stabalizer mounted on the valve, or using a female stabalizer and mounting it all together off of the 15* asa. Thanks for the suggestions though. :)

            I wanted to update everyone on this, I just got in my 12 gram quick change (blue and black acid wash just like the feed tube) from WWA. My rail is at Warped air smithing (warpedairsmithing.com) getting the rail milled for my pump slot. Everything is coming along slowly, but I should have everything done by early january!

              another quick update.

              I just finished testing out my new 12 gram changer with some v-balls in the hall. Last time I shot the mag I had it cronod at 260, but havnt touched the reg since. The first 12 gram only got 13 shots, the second got 26, and the third got 23. Not to bad for a level 7 mag. :)

                I just played all day with my stock class body, classic valve, single trigger frame, and 12 grams (still waiting on the rail, so no pump yet, like I said before im sure it will be awhile). I didnt run any expansion chamber, and didnt need one at all, the classic valve did great with the 12 gram in a 15* RPG asa. I ended up getting 22-25 shots all day long, and from 10:00 am till 5:00 pm, I only shot 350 balls.

                Plus, I have a couple of people that are now very interested in RT Mags. I let one borrow my RT, and he was there before me. He was worried somthing was wrong with it becuse it was running away when you would barely touch the trigger. I pulled the valve out, replaced an oring in the on/off, it worked and impresed him to the point he wants to buy it. :)

                So for those that didnt agree with using 12 grams on a classic valve, it is working very good! Although I am sure it wouldnt of been as good if it the 12 gram was above the valve and horizontal.

                  looks sweet.

                  My only suggestion...

                  a metal single trigger frame (dye made them) (and i think tuna has some)
