Bought this off of eBay for 123 bucks. Here it is originally. The guy lives in Houston as I do so I went to pick it up locally and saved some money on shipping. Several things have changed like my new wooden hand grips, level ten bolt(I'll tell you the story on this later), Empire Reloader(already had), drop forward(Already had), braided steel hoses which actually turned out to be the EXACT sizes I needed, and an X-Core to replace the gas thru and strange expansion chamber that came with it. The X-Core does both jobs now. I have the Reactor on/off installed in the valve. This came with the level ten.

I cut the feed neck down to keep the hopper lower. I'm probably not going for a ULE body because I'd need all new barrels and I'm not sure how that shiny thing would look on this stock rail.

The grips look awesome IMHO. They add a touch of class and the color of the wood looks great with the sand blast finish on the main body.

Two barrels came with this. A 12 inch SP Progressive and a 12 inch Dye Xcel barrel. I'm liking the Progressive more as of now. But I haven't got onto the field yet with this. I've just tested it in my backyard.

I have an HPA tank but I mainly use CO2. CO2 gives me SOOO many more shots than the HPA tank. I just pictured the HPA tank so no one can tell me I need to step up and buy one. The wooden grip frame is meant for an RT so I had to do some modifications to get it to work right. Not interested in getting an X-Valve. I don't want to shoot that fast. No where near that fast in fact. Paint costs too much. My 7-8 bps is suiting me fine. I'm pretty much forcing myself to conserve paint...

And here it is!....

-68 Automag Classic valve level seven
-PFHL main body
-WGP Torpedo drop
-X-Core
-Macro line and Stainless line with quick disconnect
-Level ten is supposed to be a Christmas present and will be now
-Reactor on/off is supposed to be a Christmas present and will be now
-wooden grip with double trigger
-12 inch SP Progressive barrel
-12 inch Dye Xcel barrel
-Empire Reloader
-TASO RVA
-Bulldog II 4500/68ci HPA tank
-2 twenty ounce tanks
-Z-Valve being sent free of charge by Alf on the AGD forums. Thanks Alf!

Now I just need to update my sig...

Comments?

EDIT: Oops. Forgot to tell the level ten story. I bought it off of eBay and it was supposed to be a gift from my parents. Well, I met the mail lady and secretly installed it and put my level 7 in the box. he he he lol They will never know. I just have to act excited on Christmas. IDK. I'm feeling kind of guilty. I might put it back. Would you??? It got put back along with the Reactor on/off.

EDIT again: As you can see, I had to add washers imbetween the grip frame and drop to keep it from hitting the X-Core when I unscrew the on/off.

EDIT a third time: Click on my sig to see my A-5.

Thanks for your comments. The trigger guard has been cut off by the previous owner of this grip frame. So if I want a double trigger and don't want to buy a whole new  90 dollar frame, the guard has to be cut. It's meant for a single trigger...

I don't think my field will care. They allow Tippmann RT's which are illegal.

A Stock classic mag or MiniMag are 15bps capable marker.  But RT Pros and ULE Xmags can shoot mutch quicker and are fully mech markers. 

There is also the Emag witch is even faster but can still be operated as a Mech marker if the need arises.  

but the best thing about mags is the Parts intercahagability and backwars compatibility.  There even more upgradeable than a tippmann. 

They also have a level 10 bolt witch is supposidly eliminates the possibility of chops (Ill tell ya more mines in the mail).

Oh and there TINY.

When I'm at the field I'll definitely use the HPA because of their free refills. But when I'm at home testing it or playing at someone's house, CO2 will be used. Or both if I have some of HPA left over from last field play.

Bear Claw mentioned that Classic mags can get up to 15 bps. Very true. But who and pull a non walkable trigger that fast? I think my average is 7-8 at my max. Pretty much the same as a stock Cocker.

Not ULE'n it. I'd need a new barrel, rail that would go with it, and I don't think my beloved grips would go with it. If anything, I'd look in the AGD classifieds for a vert feed Classic body. I could probably pick one up for 15 bucks. It's got to be blasted though.

I don't think my X-Core is working. This thing is screwing up bad. When I shoot down and let the liquid pass out of the can I can hear it leaking down the barrel with that liquidy sound and sometimes it'd be an 'ice gun' and spray gas and chunks of liquid out of the barrel for a couple of seconds. The CO2 is killing it... I might eventually have to permanently switch to HPA if this is hurting the orings.

I know that's right. It might be time for a Dye Rhino. This tank came with my A-5 and the previous owner did it. It gets the job done though.

I've seen a guy there without a trigger guard and I don't think the refs cared. Either they didn't care or they're plain lazy...
