They are very nice guns. What kind of trigger frame? Completely stock?

Good lord yes. The valve alone is worth that. Assuming it all works right. |

Is it a Classic RT or RT Pro? Either way, yes it is worth more than $78.00. Classic RT's are less swappable upgradewise, but still nice and wortth around $200.00 or so. If It is an RT Pro, it could be worth $200 up to 3-400 or more depending on upgrades. Post a couple of pics or PM me and I can get you a pretty good value estimate. You can also go to Automags.org and get a pretty decent idea of overall value. |

My mag knowledge is nil. I asked a couple of local mag owners and like you
said, 100 - 200 for a Classic. It has a spare valve which is good.
I'll post pics if it goes through, it was brought into my work by the guys friend
who knew I played. No pictures of it yet.

The Mag will have to wait, I've been trying to get one of these for 3 years. $288.00 shipped here.
Thanks for the input everyone.

Ok, I bought the mag too.
New valve on mag says "ReTro", Grip frame is a Dye with dbl trigger, AA and stock barrel, He's dropping spare valve and parts off tomorrow. I'll post pics so you can educate me later. Oddly, I'm more excited about the F/A |

Gah. You lucky mother Tinman. Ive been wanting an F/A for years. Every time I have the cash to burn theres none to be found.
That purple/chrome one that you see pictures of everywhere used to be on the wall of my local shop. Even though someone absolutely ruined that thing, I still wanted it. Just never visit the Tippmann building in Fort Wayne. The F/A with no serial number will make you drool all over (Let alone the SMG68) |

Congrats on the F/A TinMan. If you have any questions feel free to ask away. I haven't messed with mine in a few years so I can't guarantee knowledgeable answers but I can always break out the F/A and look at it or check the manual if need be. (Now that I think about it, I can check the video as well if I remember where I put it.)
Even though I haven't played with it in more than a few years (I've messed with it more recently than that because of the take it out and fondle it desire*) I can guarantee you that it will be a blast to shoot. (I do remember how much fun that was.) *Sounds naughty, but only if your mind is in the gutter anyway. |

You got an extra valve with the Mag too? Thats a GREAT deal. Heck, depending on what valve, sell the extra one and itll pay for itself!

So, a guy walks into my work with it, and I bought it for $100.00 in case your confused by my posts about the Tippmann FA. This is about the mag Any help identifying parts or just assembly advice would be great.
Questions: Can I get a centerfeed body for the R/T? Parts:
Thanks for any help LPR was not in with it, but if you can tell me what it's off ;)

You sir are a thief. lol. Yes, the Retro has lvl 10. It can be switched to the classic valve as well, but would have to be retuned and I can't tell if he gave you the extra spacers or not. Keep track of which spring you took off the Lvl10. The Ans is a PhaseII front bolt. Considered an upgrade. The rail is what is called an Automag/MiniMag length. You can find centerfeed bodies for these, but they are a little rarer. You can also have Lukes customs do a vert mod, or you can look into a ULE body which will accept cocker threaded barrels. Good thing about the vert mod is you can still use your twistlock barrels. You would have to mod the twist lock channels in the barrels to fit a centerfeed body. That is an expansion chamber, a lot of people go with a bike grip gas-tru.
Seriously, nice grab.

FA arrived safely and in great condition, incoming questions.
 OPBN, I stripped what seamed like 4 layers of black paint off of the body of the mag.
There was actually a layer with a Canadian flag 2nd from the SS body. Hope it wasn't custom.
Marker fits together very well now.

Think about polishing that sucker up!!! SS is a pain to get up to a high shine, but it is kind of cathartic sanding and sanding for hours on end. Theres also a guy on AO that is doing machine finishes on the SS bodies. Looks pretty sweet. |

That's what it is. It looked similar, but the bend in the front threw me off.
