Bought this off of eBay for 123 bucks. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7113758996&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT - 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 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7117400487&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT - new wooden hand grips , http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7114444284&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT - level ten bolt(I'll tell you the story on this later) , Empire Reloader(already had), drop forward(Already had), http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7114444922&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT - 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!....

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.

I dont know much about mags are they fast???

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...

to have a new trigger gaurd on there he would have to melt it lol, mags are not like tippmanns and can make them come and go i had to sit down and think if i wanted to cut mine off when i had one. I have an xvalve and ule in my moms closet but i can't tuch them my mom knows lots about paintball and would tell.(i'm not spoiled xvalve for christmas and i donated my classic to help sheapen it, and ule for my birthday 15 days away)

I just put the level ten and Reactor on/off back in their box. I feel SO much better now!

Automags don't have removable trigger guards so to get a double trigger in there you have to completely remove it.

I might get a classic as my back up

You, Blue Hopper, were the one I was referring to.

ProCarbine, the X-Valve resets the trigger like a Tippmann RT. It does give you a higher potential ROF. If you want to go that high. ULT's won't wok on Classic mags. Anything besides a Classic mag actually. But there are other(not as reliable) items that will try to emulate it and give a lighter trigger pull.

Also, what kind of mag are you going for? Custom RT like Tolgak? -The fastest mech on the market. Hey, I've seen 1337 SO many times on the forum but I never got what it meant? Help please?

Thanks for the good comments.

nouseforaname wrote: not diggen it, I hate when people run co2 on mags, your mag is hating you for that! ... ULE it, youll love it

I've been thinking a lot about this CO2 situation. This Classic mag came out when only CO2 was around. Using CO2 will not kill it or these would never have sold. Back in '92, people had to use CO2.

love the automag! I just got one off ebay 2 days ago for 150! Its just as good as yours and only used twice!  Here she is!

Cool. You might want to replace the microline though. That stuff isn't very reliable.

That hopper is really up there... lol Look into cutting the feed neck and cutting the hopper feed tube down. That is, if you don't like the hopper being so high.

You don't know that It was only used twice

Does nearly the same thing. But it is legal.

Boydster wrote: ^ Some eBay members are actually honest. Eh, doesn't even matter if it was or wasn't as long as it works.

But you don't know which ones is the problem. Like the guy saying his rt shot 26-28 bps

It's actually for speedball. That's what I play. Not the fastest, but I don't want the fastest anyway.

becare full with that trigger if you moved your sear at all it could mess up your gun.

What do you mean? Moving the sear as in adjusting the rod length? I had to do that BTW. This trigger sits a lot farther away from the frame than the stock trigger. Is that ok to move it like that? I've heard people say don't move it at all. But if I left it, the bottem portion of the trigger would hit the frame before it would fire and not allow me to pull it all the way.

Oh shoot. OMG... This is going to cost some money.

Why then are they adjustable?

What about trigger frames like this ^ ? I know that that trigger rod had to of been extended for this because that is a lot farther than a stock trigger set-up.

EDIT: Here's a much better example...

For Dummies

There are people out there who think they can achieve better performance by modifying parts. They are wrong. If the existing marker could reach a better performance as it is, it would come that way out of the factory.

7. DO NOT shave or modify the sear or adjust the trigger rod.

Boyds obsessed with modifying guns, but he does a pretty good job of it.

I'll try to get it back to normal then. I'm going to have to shave the trigger gaurd down some more so the gun will fire before it hits the plastic.

dj89, I'm looking at that pic again and I see what you mean now. The trigger is in the same position as a stock frame but the plastic before the trigger is pulled away so it shows the rod when it shouldn't. Let me know if you understand what I just said.

Not diggin' the grips?!?! That's what makes this gun... Oh well. It is preference after all. You either like 'em or you don't. Thanks for the remark.

I don't prefer them myself much either boyd. The other two are better

O..yea that could be a good reason what you don't have a guard on there..

Ya Automags don't have removable guards like Tippmanns do. So y'all were still wondering why I didn't have a guard? I thought I clarified that...

Boydster pleez start signing on to aim or at least msn. I don't care anymore my volumes out. Maybe you could even respond to pms

Blue Hopper wrote: Boydster pleez start signing on to aim or at least msn. I don't care anymore my volumes out. Maybe you could even respond to pms

Why'd you post this here and PM me?

EDIT: The other version of my mag will be up tonight. Check back soon. It's the same, only downgraded and I like it a lot more lol.

Ok. Here is the new and improved, "Boydster's Automag". This is probably my favorite set-up of the gun. I just need to get my tank anti-siphoned because pointing it down does strange things. Would use the X-Core but that ruins the feel. Which set-up do you like more?

That should be working. I don't know why unless image shack is down.

EDIT: Ya image shack is down. I'll try to find another host real quick.

EDIT: Image Shack wasn't down after all. They just did something funky with these two pics because my other ones were working and these were yesterday. Well, now they're up.
