I woulden't mind having an E-blazer but they are hella expensive, and I would love a viking but they are pretty hefty unless DC milled.

I don't like the length of tippmann's, just WAY to long. It feel's like snap shooting with an barret M82

Not to mention the 50 billion skrew's.....

Viking really aren't that heavy. I own an excal which is heavier and don't really notice the extra weight. We are talking about an emag and that battery sure isn't featherweight.

Indeed.

Coming from an Emag with a Classic valve, the step to an unmilled '04 should actually REMOVE some weight.

Find you one and play a few games with it, you'll never notice the weight. The balance with a Viking is excellent, and you're used to playing with a heavier marker anyway.

I would definately take the mat that an Unmilled '04 weighs less than a Standard Emag with Classic Valve.

Get the viking. You'll cream yourself.

Yah, id say go with the viking,

Or, if you can, keep the emag for times when you can use compressed air(or can you not use compressed air at all?), and get a impulse, they are cheap. Plus people on pbnation "say" they've run imps for years on antisiphon co2 with no problems. Imps have that valve that will blow if pressure is too high.

I"ve shot a viking before, the ballnce was really off compaired to the E-mag... IMO

it was an 03 halfmilled I belive

And I have an E-maxx valve on my E-mag not a classic.

That'd be because you got used to shooting that front heavy EMag.

Of course the perfectly balanced Viking is going to feel funny.

Merlin, some Works cockers were made with Merlin bodies, and Revenges. I think you can still purchase merlin's good luck finding the other two.

k still hijacking ... so from what i can tell AKA isn't making these markers anymore ... i got to get one used ... can't find one ... what's the price range for a Merlin???

ok im confused ... i have to buy a body and build one from scratch???

ewww a merlin is a cocker ... I was thinking AKA Mech blowback.

thanks ... after much deliberation ive abandoned my pneu project for something i'm more familar with (LP Blowback)... i got excited thinking that there was a blowback with tight tolerances and better quality controlls than the choices I have now...

Merlin is indeed a cocker. I think they still make these bodies or still have them instock. Good luck on finding the blow back model. When I considering buying a used one 3 years, they were painfully rare then, they went for upwards of 300 bucks.

There was a guy on pbn, superbugman I think, that had 15-50 really high quality vertfeed spyder bodies made. I can't remeber if they were slim or fatty strilers.

Check FBM, I thought they made a few. I am not sure of thier quality.

What are you talking about?

If anything, a Viking is MORE reliable than a Mag, E or otherwise.

Kinda agree/disagree. Although the viking is faster and more efficient, do you know anyone who still sells tool kits? Part of the aka problem is the going to be the lack of good parts when things wear down. Any place to source a ram? Atleast an emag shares a number of functional parts with other mags. Besides when the electro brakes down all it takes is a flip of the switch to get back in biz.

IF I were you I would just buy a cocker with a good reg setup and forget it.

Destructive Customs does full rebuilds and replacements of AKA cartridges. Akalmp also sells toolkits and LPR tuning kits. In fact, just a few months ago I purchased some parts from them to upgrade my viking. Then I sent that vike to DC for some love. I assure you if your viking breaks, either you or DC will be able to fix it.

To my knowlege, the only Viking part that is extinct are the '03 eye covers... which warped sports is planning to reproduce.

The Viking will require less tuning and maintenence than any Emag. They will break down less, and there are places to buy replacement parts, spare parts, tools, and online forums for assistence.

Performance and reliability wise.... Viking/Ecalibur > Emag in all situations

still hijacking ....

FBM = too fancy for me... now that i'm thinking bout it i remember a Boblong body that came out around 2K I think it was called a millenium body... they were supposed to have tighter tolerances. Thanks for helping me get the gears turning ...
