68 Automag Classic

Looks good, Luke does good stuff.  I think Mags look best in all black.

I guess all you need now is an X-Valve...  Nah.

That is nice! I'm jealous...

was that a powerfeed body?

Monk, all the Lv. 10 is, is an anti-chop system. It has no affect on physical performance of the valve, as far as I know. The X-Valve will always be able to cycle faster, and has a R/T feature that the standard Classic valve just doesn't have. If you want to keep it mech, Stormy, I'd suggest picking up a R/T valve. Faster cycle rates and the R/T feature. Plus, you can put a Lv. 10 on it ant it won't chop.

But for all that money spent, you could have gotten a nice set of pneumatics and a 'cocker and simply timed it to not chop!

Nice looking Mag. Much better than before.

Not a big 'cocker fan.  I've heard all kinds of horror stories about keeping the marker tuned correctly.  While most may be old wive's tales, I'm the type that wants to pick up the marker and play with no more fiddling around than cleaning it at the most.  Autocockers just seem like too much work for a casual player like myself.  I like the simplicity (if not less efficient) operation like the Tippmanns.  I've always been fascinated by the Automag's design and quiet operation. 

I hated the Automags at first when I was rudely introduced to them.  Buddy of mine brought one home when he was in the Navy.  Here I thought I had the cat's behind with my spanking new Pro/Am.  Boy was I ever wrong.  His Automag was so quiet.  Virtually silent compared to my Tippy.  It was sick.  I couldn't hear where he was firing from, all I heard was the paint zinging past me.  16 years later, he uses the same setup.  No mods.  Still bloody quiet.  I couldn't pass up the chance to buy one for myself.

I was tempted to tell a guy shooting a beautiful X-Mag (not X-Valved 'Mag, but a true X-Mag) that "He had a beautiful Shocker!"

haha one word for those shenanigans

dirty

I know nothing about these types of markers, but I like the very simple lines of this. Very nice.

If I were him, and you did that, I would have shot you... repeatedly.

Except...  y'know....  for the teasing.

I almost bought an Automag classic way back in the days of paintball where I was still shooting a Brass Eagle.  888paintball had a good deal going on them and I was in the market for a decent entry level marker, but I didn't buy it because it didn't come with a barrel or a hopper.
