    almost 12 years later I gone and done it.

    Almost 12 years ago I played paintball for the first time. Since that time I really wanted a Minimag, but when I was ready the RT was hot and I bought that instead. Well earlier today I walked in to the shop to see a splash anodized Minimag. It has a pf left body, single trigger frame with nice wood finger grooved grips, ANS phase II everything with a monster color matched phase II expansion chamber. The old Aluminum all american and a drop didn't match anything. Brought it home and flung the drop and barrel. I'd like a polished body, but until I get time I put on an extra nickel ULE I have. Rounded that off with a matching barrel. Slapped a Flatline under the grip and steped back. She went from homely to a beauty in no time flat. Have to get a few fittings tomorrow and it will fly for now. The kids in the store must have thought I was nuts. A 30+ year old guy just flipping out over this old marker running around pretend snap shoooting and bunkering. I must say I was a happy camper! I know with out pics this post is useless. Everything is down. I can't even take a picture let alone post it. The anno is a mint green with royal blue blotches and purple lines. You'll just have to imagin it for now.

      Thank you. I normally play with the Emag tournament wise. The Rt doesn't see the action it once did and now this one. I guess I'll have to play some rec ball/senerio games for some fun with the new toy and the Rt.

            I still remeber the first time i ever saw a minimag in real life. i was just a 14 year old having my trracer pump gun looked at and a teenager walked in with one... it was love at first sight. Too bad i never bought one untill i was 25... But i know exactly how you feel man... Kinda like the drive home after your first date with a beautiful woman

              i bought my minimag a year ago. it was ugly and beat up but i loved it. people thought i was stupid for buying an old gun that had been sitting in the field's back room for years. when i brought it back to play nobody recognized it and it out performed most of the guns on the field that day.

                Well I droped in the new reg piston assm, updated on/off assm and reg seat. And she is alive. Might need a change in power tube spacer, but I'm not going to dink with that. I'll get another Lvl10. She is a reactive one. Almost as good as the rt. Suprising to me. I never fired one before and never thought the reactivity would be all that. Should be a fun one to tag the kiddies with.

                    Camera is down. The reg one, I don't have digital. The power cord went south for the lexmark all in one so I can't give any pics until something gets fixed.

                    850/900 psi according to the flatline guage.

                          I'll hop right on that. Till then I'll slip in my Copy of "Goin South" for motivation.

                            Thats what I'd call it. It is a little michine gun, with some short stroking on rapid bursts. I'll get that cured before too long. The thing is a tool. Very pleased thus far.
