    I just thought this was funny. I used to shoot autocockers all the itme and had a tool chest full of parts, now my toolbox for my mag could fit ina sandwich bag.

    It never mattered what type of gun I had at the time; I still carried a toolbox full of parts. I NEVER went to the field without it.

    We didn't have the type of field where I could walk up to the owner and ask for a part. My brother and I built the field, so we were the owners.

      toolbox

      I still have the box, but I quit taking it to the field because I was giving away hundreds of dollars in parts and spending all my time fixing other people's guns.

        I have a big toolkit for my AKA guns, and they break less than any mags I ever had, or saw. Its good to have, just in case, and its always nice to help other people tech their guns.

            hmmmm luck I guess

            Guess maybe I have been lucky. In the last 5 years since I have been shooting mags, the only thing I had to replace on my setup was 1 xvalve bumper.

            I have 4 of every part to repair a mag, and haven't broken the seals on most of the packages

              parts

              I have a suitcase that has two pockets full of various gun parts, a tool box, and then some hex wrenches. I don't think it's that much stuff...but the refs see me and always point it out saying, "Wow, you come prepared!"

              It's not that I come prepared...it's just that all of my guns are very used...and need "TLC". The Mag has been really good...but my Silver Eagle, Rebel, and Pro Lite always require me to pull out the tool kit. My Prodigy and Spyder are pretty much tuned...no problems with them...of course I haven't used them in the last 6 months because I've been messing with my Pro-Lite, Silver Eagle (project gun), and Rebel (project gun) not to mention getting my Mag working.

              I really need to get rid of a few guns...unfortunately the reason is I have like two other project guns in pieces to take their place! I almost sold the Pro-Lite at Christmas time...but the dude backed out...had some interest in the Silver Eagle but the guy wanted to trade and the last thing I need is more guns. When I bring people with me to the field and they don't have equipment, they really like the Pro-Lite...so maybe I'll keep it as a loaner...I just wish they'd clean it...I'm getting tired of spending 2 hours cleaning guns after a day of paintball...

                And I NEVER get rid of things.
                I have a shroud from an '02 autococker. The last cocker I owned wouldn't have even fit it.
                I have 3 Spyder/Piranha bolts that I have no idea where they even came from. I haven't owned a Spyder for 6 years.

                Half bottles of 4 year old lube..
                Stripped fittings..
                Short, useless pieces of macro..

                    I have a sizeable tookit as well. Most of the bulk is very generic stuff... screws, lube, screwdriver, pliars, strap wrench, crescent wrench, allen key sets, macroline setups, etc.
