| Just get a new bolt and barrel and I would say a new feedneck and then you will have a gun that truly rips. I love mine, but that drop is massive. |

Nice find. Definately go with a new feedneck, check out a Redz Camlock. Lose the drop and throw something like a Uni on it. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Ions do feel alot differnt than imps. I like the feel of the trigger frame on the ion more than the impulse for some reason. -------------

Get a lucky board with a mac noid. I haven't tested it but I know that its alot faster than the stock noid and practically anything from lucky thats not defective is really good. Oh yeah i forgot to mention my response to the picture: "aggggh plastic!" *falls off chair almost blacks out* ------------- table of what really makes your marker work *Gnomes= autocockers *Fairies= Angels *Pixies= Timmys *leprachauns= tippys *goblins= spyders *elves= mags *lawyers= smartparts Ya I'm that smart |

| There was a company that besically took the SP factory noids and put them on their boards because the factory noids have a longer life span that other noids on other boards. |

I have tested the prototype boards in both SP Noid and MAC noid. I currently run the MAC noided Spitfire and love it (still have the SP prototype). The only real difference in the 2 noids are this...The MAC allows you to drop the dwell to a 'true' dwell of Zero...unlike other boards (not knocking them, just saying) that their "bottomed-out" dwell is actually 6ms or so. I ran mine at 110 psi (TechT, V2 - L6 bolt), dwell of zero at 280 fps (my field's limit) with no drop off and chrono fluctuation of +/- 3 fps with a CP Long reg at 35 bps until the pod went empty (QLoader directly mounted). Not one chop, not one misfeed. There was a barrel break just past the 1/2-way mark but only one (as far as I can tell) which coud have been any number of reasons. I <3 my MAC noid. EDIT: I should point out that the MAC noid is a tight fit in the frame with the board. It's not a problem, I'm just saying...it feels as if you are grinding the board when installing the noid. ------------- 68 Classic Mag; PMI .68 Magnum; Maxed Stage5 Ion; M98 Scenario creation in the works; - You EPunks are all alike-all mouth until you reach the tailgate section of the field...then you "were j/j" |

I've heard the Lucky board with mac noid is nice. I love my t-board though, not bad for 50 bucks. -------------

McKnight, you are right. Before I tested the Lucky boards I was running the TBoard. It's an economical alternative to the others. ------------- 68 Classic Mag; PMI .68 Magnum; Maxed Stage5 Ion; M98 Scenario creation in the works; - You EPunks are all alike-all mouth until you reach the tailgate section of the field...then you "were j/j" |
