Look what came in the mail

[Ace12GA]

I know its nothing new, but I think its damn cool. I got my Tac-One mainbody in the mail today. Totally excited. 5 minutes to install it, including pressing out the twistlock pin. I love mags for this. I can't wait to play with it. All my friends shoot spyders, 98c's, and A5's. They were already weirded out by my mags, they're not going to know what to think of it now.

Heres a couple of really rushed pictures of it.

EDIT: and heres some pictures I took a second to actually try to take a good picture.






I'll take better ones later, not that anyone cares I imagine. I may even have to pickup a nicer looking RDS, the one in the pictures is left over from my airsoft days.

how much did you pay for it?

[Ace12GA]

I ordered right off of AGD's website, but all said and done into Canada, and it cost me $280 CDN.

Congrats on your new Tac body.

I am digging the shaker hopper and the classic valve poking out the back. Signs of old school surrounded by new.

I love my classic valves. I was going to invest in an x-valve, but the lack of getting HPA locally, makes running CO2 mandatory. All the local dive shops refuse to sell me a scuba tank, or to fill one, if I don't have my scuba ticket. Very lame. I'm still looking into a nitro setup, where I rent a storage tank, and fill my own bottles from it. Having a hard time getting all the facts for that road.

This is how this mag started out when I picked it up a couple of years ago.

"All the local dive shops refuse to sell me a scuba tank, or to fill one, if I don't have my scuba ticket. Very lame."



That is really lame. I was given a hard time the first time I went in to get a scuba and fill at the local shop, but once I explained my situation and promised to him that I wasn't going to be diving there have been no problems.

He did ask me to throw a few paintball stickers on the tank just to refresh his and his employees memory. It is somewhat lucky I suppose that he and his kids play and one of the best proshops on our side of town is right up the street from him.

I am suprized that the dive shop owner would turn away buisiness that way. A paying customer is just that......

Where I live, I hear it is illegal to fill a scuba tank for somebody without a C-card (diving certification). The exception is if you sign a waiver promising that your tank will never be used by yourself or anybody else for the purpose of diving, and that you will never hold the shop responsible for any harm done if you do use it for diving.

my shop lets me rent one only if i sign there waver, like everyone else said. you sould really try and explain to them your situation.

[Ace12GA]

When I went to talk to them, I brought with me my scuba fill adapter (I baught one before I found out they wouldn't work with me), my hpa tank, and my paintball marker. I left everything in the car to start, and once I was talking to the manager, I would bring the tank and adapter in, the marker too if they wanted to see. I explained I would be happy to sign a waiver, etc.. I also explained I have no intention of ever going diving. After a lengthing talk with one, and a very short talk with another, they both refused to help me out. They offered to fill my 50ci bottle, for $5 a fill, the same price to fill a 80cf scuba tank. I declined. I am still looking into possibly running nitro, because I freeze up my classic valve if the temp is below 80f during rapid fire all the time. Thats usually when I break out the remote coil. I agree, hpa would be the way to go, but without a way to obtain an 80cf scuba tank, or to get it filled, I am stuck with CO2. Thus the classic valved Tac-One I have built.

EDIT: As a side note, I'm 29, married, own my own car, house, etc.. I don't look like some irresponsible youth when I approached the dive shops in my area.

Same for the local dive shop in my area... Although now I have an incentive to learn scuba diving.

[Ace12GA]

I have considered getting my dive ticket, then I remember I hate the water. I have this problem you see, I sink.

Anyway, I added some nicer pictures.

[maddboy32]

take some pics of the retards that wont fill a scuba tank for you. then we can all make-fun of them and talk #$%@ about them. but the gun looks good to.
