Are you going to put money into the Mag?  How much?

And that ion is cheap. Where are you getting it from?  Does it work correctly?

I thought you were getting a cocker, is this replacing it as your main gun?  Or are you one of the people who need a backup gun?

I would put no money into the mag at all. I know you will hate me for this but I will probably turn it into a millsim project. probably buy an enfield or m-14 stock.

 

The ion would be my backup to my US-5. It works perfectly, I'm getting off the nation.

 

I was gona get a karnivor but decided not to drop $800 for a casual player like myself

The Ion, but 70 bucks seems a little off.

If not, I'm getting one.

I am a die hard mag guy.

BUT

$70 for a functioning Ion is a steal.


although....$70 for a mag in any condition is also a steal. If the mag requires updating...you are in for spending a few hundred doing upgrades.

*Slap*

If you're gonna look into a good gun that's affordable, pick up a used mech cocker.

^^Not so fast, ive seen some 2k3-4 prostocks go for under $100, usually they are about $120 for the basic stock cocker people sell.

But, go for the ion, youll only be happy with an upped mag

The Mag would be perfect, but the Ion is a steal.
