<3 My babies:  Irony is the fact that I play better with the Phantom than I do with the Hyper'd 'Mag... Anyway, I've got MANY other guns, but these ones seem to always treat me well. I've got a few 'cockers, a Sniper, a few various Tippmanns, my Redux, my PGP, a few Rainmakers (yes, STILL), a Raptor, and a few various pistols. WAYYYYY too lazy to get pics up of the rest... |

Im happy you came to your senses and started using a Mag rather than those flimsy "autocockers" -------------

Oh, I've still got a few 'cockers. I will say this though, the 'Mag always shoots. That's just all there is to it. BUT, when the 'cockers DO shoot, there isn't a smoother gun out there. I'm still a 'cocker fanboy. |

Hmmm, something familiar about that Mag.... How does the classic valve keep up with the Hyperframe? I see these frames come up every once in a while, but never in a position to buy one when they do. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |

Yeah, I wonder what it could be? :P Anyway, the Classic keeps up fine in terms of recharge. I shot as fast as the frame would allow (all of 10 BPS, which is more than enough for me), and there was no shootdown. I did, however, experience some bolt stick at higher ROF's... |

Nice mag, I love those foregrips. I've got my first hyperframe on its way to me. It will be interesting to see how it does.
I'm with Magoo on the cockers. I don't even have one anymore of my own, but a well tuned autococker is one of life's nicest pleasures. I can't believe you shoot the phantom over the redux though. |

| I've been working with it for a very long time. I've done almost all I can to get it to go. I'm not going to give up on it, as I LOVE that gun, but it's being really difficult... |

I'm not getting reasonable efficiency out of it. It'll shoot, but I'm getting maybe 10 good (usable) shots. I've tried every spring combination, I've had the valve body bored, I've even modified a Line SI Bushmaster back bottle valve to fit. I need to get a chronograph. I think I may be getting closer with the Line SI valve, but I can't measure velocity properly. My goal is at least 20 good shots. |

When you say "Raptor" are you talking the old BE raptor? I had one of those for three months, it blew a seal, got sent to a shop in Rochester, and they sold it on me.

I've got a stingray that stays gassed up in the laundry room so I can shoot opossums that come to eat cat food off the back porch. One of these days the poor plastic thing is going to explode from the constant pressure.
I can't believe the redux problems, Magoo. It stinks that you aren't getting all available help from the creator. |

I like mOngo. He's done a lot for me. However, he's got a LOT on his plate right now, and I'm hesitant sending it back and forth. As a machinist, I think I can one day personally do anything that the gun will need in the future. It's a mechanical device. I CAN make it work, eventually. As for the Raptor, yep, an old BE Raptor. My cousin gave it to me. Solid gun, to be honest. |

Shot my first Classic a week ago, and now I'm addicted myself... installed a complete rebuild kit after breaking it completely down, aired it up, and it shot perfectly... just had to chrono. I have NEVER been able to say that about any of my 'Cockers... or many other markers I have owned. Now I have a Micro on its way to me :) -------------
