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 ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

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. ------------- RLTW |

^^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. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |
