What Should I do???

[ClassicMagger]

Hey:

Alright AO, I've never done one of these threads before becuase I find them useless.

But I'm faced with a problem. I need a new everyday shooter, don't ask me why lots of things factor into this one.

I do NOT need a new everyday pump.

I think that I have it narrowed down to a DM6, a new Cyborg, a custom AKA or another mag either custom or not.

The DM6 and Cyborg, I honestly wouldn't be looking at doing anything to; except perhaps a new feedneck or reg.

The AKA and Mag I'd be willing to either leave stock or mill, anno, and/or enhance it.

Enhancing as in add an mQ to an Excalibur or get a DevilMag frame or do a pneaumatic automag frame.

I'm looking for your opinions AO, and with them I'd like anno choice as well-because I get to pick that no matter which gun I choose.

Let me know.

Thanks,

-ClassicMagger

why mQ an Excal, just tadao it and it'll rip, or look at a viking.

What are your criteria? speed, weight, what use are you looking for: tournaments, rec speedball, What are you used to playing with, do you like the feel of that or want something completely different? Price range?

Dm6 - great gun, ultimate in 'high-end' bling, but you can get a PM6 for less.
Cyborg - Never got to see one. I hear the new ones are nice, but I would check that one out in person first.
Excal - probably dont have to do a darn thing to it other than cosmetic. mq? why?
Devilmag - good luck
P-frame mag - diy or good luck.
Coolhands eframed mag - now your talking.

If you want something a little differnt, yet still en vouge, look into the Cyborg more. If you still yearn for a hot mag, talk to Coolhand. His frames should be ready shortly.

If you manage to sell ALL of that stuff you have up in your B/S/T thread, then you could probably get at least 3 of these guns on your list no problem

Devil Mag all the way, they are sleepers , up until they see the eye covers and ask WTF is that thing??

[11 Bravo]

Make your own Devil Mag.

[garto]

I'd say make a custom e-mag as in either a spydermag or a pneumatic mag. If you have the money then buy the mini morlock and make the ultimate pneumatic mag. And by spydermag dont use a spyder frame but rather modify the existing frame to accept the spyder internals. I'm currently working so I can have enough money to buy a mill so I can make a pneumatic mag sometime in the near future (hopefully summer). One off's are cool though because you have a truely custom gun and if you have the money to put in quality components then it'll be the ultimate gun.

Please pardon my thread jacking

How much do 05 Protos usually go for?

[68magOwner]

05 protos can be had for ~$400

anyway, to date, my favorite marker hands down is a custom milled 04 viking.

I was a Viking fanboy until I shot a matrix... Dm6 all the way buddy, or go with the PM6... I also love my 04 Cyborg.. NO kick, super-efficient, and FAST. The 06's are the pure buttsex0r

You know my vote. I just picked up an 05 feather viking with a fabulous anno job, because I can't seem to get over AKA. I've been shooting them now for, what , 2 years? And I still haven't tired of them. All the times I've gone to play, my AKA markers have ALWAYS worked, while around me DMs, Timmys, cockers, and mags (gasp!) have failed and gone down. Keep in mind ive owned mech mags, emags, xmags, cockers, e cockers, timmys, DMs, and cyborgs.

You want fast? Viks are as fast as anything out there, and excals are right behind it. You want smooth? Excals are like buttah. You want reliable? AKA can't be beat. You want efficient? AKA is top dog in this arena.

If I could have any marker I wanted, I would have a brand spakin new featherlight milled 04 excalibur with a sharp anno job.

EDIT-Forgot anno choices. I always loved acid washes, and my new marker has an amazing one someone called "smoke on the water." I've also seen a very nice gray/black one done on a viking, and the classic "shark attack" x mag anno is a good choice. The other one I've always loved is a dust red/black/silver splash I saw on a feather excal once.

As interesting as the "themed" guns are, with their tattoos and all (Joker, playboy, rasta, etc etc) I think it would get old fast.

2nd choice would be a cyborg, BTW. After all, they are part AKA (merlin extrusion body)

pretty much agreed. honestly i never liked your viking though, but all matrices are great. i just shot a DM6 and while it was great, to me it wouldnt be worth the cash over a DM4, but it looks like money isnt going to be too much of an issue for you.

i was supposed to have a cyborg by last saturday, but i still havent heard anything... but they are great markers, you wont be disappointed. by the sound of it you arent messing around here so you might as well get an 06, but if money is a problem you could just get an 04 or sonic.

people keep mentioning mags but my guess is youve probably had plenty of mags. i wouldnt bother unless you want logics electro mag, thats really the only choice i would consider.

ano:

this is my personal all time favorite ano:



of course that is going to cost a lot...

i also saw a black/purple acidwash i loved, and black/red acidwashes are always nice. fades are nice too but too common and not really my thing. if you like any of those get into touch with DC, www.destructivecustoms.com

[SPECK]

I would go with the cyborg. Hands down.

[slade]

oh, and whatever you get, especially if its a nice ano (like that acid wash... hint hint) post pics!!

[electriceel125]

I would take an 06borg. ( i shoot a tadao'ed sonic and LOVE it!) The 06 borg has a few upgrades that make it nearly idiot proof. Hoseless, almost no maintince. Once you get so high end it really is preference. Research your choices so you know how to dissasemble and clean them before you buy them. But above all try to get out and see if you can test them out.


My vote goes to the 06 cyborg. (speed reliability price no need for upgrades) If not that i think i would have to say get a highlander milled tadao viking/excalibur.
