    lol, expertise my ***.

    You need to have a better knowledge of ions and there parts before you give any advice.

    When it comes to a QEV dont go with the eclipse. Go with a QEV that has a quick disconnect or go with a SP 360 QEV which swivels like a banjo making installation and removal a breeze.

    Unless your gonna be playing in tournies or just wanna mess around with a lot of modes dont bother buying a new board. Virtue boards and BH boards are very nice but def not your best option. Go with the T-Board from www.scenariodreams.com. Not only does it cost less than both the others but it has all the same modes.

    When it comes to bolts they do actually help. Not only do they reduce kick but they do increase efficiency. The Nano bolt along with the L6 are good options. If your worried about price go with the firebolt or get your stock bolt modded (PM me if you want info on this).

    My suggestion on parts to get first would be barrel (which you got), feedneck, on/off, QEV, bolt, trigger. Those arent really in any specific order.

    The stock reg and board do fine. After you get a little extra cash you may wanna look into getting a new board or reg but its not needed right off the bat.

    Ions are not bad crap guns. Witht he right upgrades they can perform just as good as anythign else out and also have decent resale.

    If you need anythign else ion related lmk.

            I agree completly with this post...and in that order.

            I have been known to knock Ion's...I am not a huge fan, but one simply cannot deny the effectiveness and value. Great for the price and well out of its price range in performance. I have been shot up by too many of these to ignore what they have done for the average ballers basic equipment.

              SHOCKER time

              I am going to purchase A new VISION shocker for my primary now and leave the ION bone stock. I think that is a little bit smarter... Any bad comments on that?

                New feedneck, a barrel and youre set. I dont really understand how that isnt a "tourney level marker". 15 bps will lose a tournament for you? Im not sure I follow...

                    well, since you have air/barrel/loader. I would say, get a new feedneck, but, thats about it. There is nothing wrong about the stock trigger that will slow you down (no, its not great, but, it shoots paint when you pull it dosent it?), stock reg is fine, stock board is fine, ect. My personal opinion would be a feedneck, and, thats all

                        I also bought one, i don't know how it is utter crap though and thats just your opinion. IMO timmy's are utter crap(and yes i have owned a few of them in the past). Mine works great, and for the price the value of the gun is great.
