ok, a few days ago i ordered a piranha eforce ext pro 2k3. I have $271...i just had a thought. I never owned a spyder/spyder clone..but i've fixed my friensa a couple times so i am at the level of matenence campedency....I just realised that i could cancel my order and get a lot better gun for $271 used.....what do you think i should do? cancel my order and get a used higher end gun? or get the piranaha and upgrades with the money.???

Cancel the order, find yourself a good used mag...save a little if you need to, it will be well worth it.

its hard to find things that aren't like $900 because they are pimped out. i can seem to find things not upgraded like crazy

Agreed! :) Thats what I did..
you could get a used automag with a level 10 for about 250-270.

Just go on ebay and search automag classic, youll find some good deals. Be patient.

so...i should get a mag? are they really upgradeable? hard to maintain? ...or is the only bad thing that they are really ugly,have a sigle trigger, and arent vertical feed????

I'd suggest a 2k3 cocker. After you get your $100, you can get one new for $350, then just get some macroline, bottom line, and a drop if you like, though it's not really nessesary. That's what I'm doing, and hey, a "w00d sn1p3r" is always right....

Yes i think you should get a mag.
They are very easy to maintain, and are quite upgradable.
I think they look good but if you think they are ugly look into the ULE body. Its vert feed also..
And if you want a double trigger all you have to do is get a benchmark double trigger or intelliframe and you will be fine.

i was joking about its uglyness... if its performs well it doesnt have to be beautiful.

i was joking about its uglyness...if it performes well it don't have t be beautiful....i really could use some other suggestions. any other ideas other than mags?

Didn't you read my post? Get a 'Cocker... they are the shiz nit, man. :nod:

You dont need any other suggestions, the mag is the way to go :D
I'm going to list you some nice upgrades you could pick up for the mag as well as some basic info for you. The first thing I can advise you to do is to go to the Airgun Designs forums, and Read the Stickies!
Triggers
Intelliframe
Benchmark Double Trigger Frame
ULE Trigger
Feeds/Bodies
Power Feed
Warp Feed
ULE Body(Vert Feed)
Also dont forget the Level 10 Bolts Kit, which eliminates chopping.
Airgun Designs are also known for their very reliable customer service, and the markers are known to be durable. I have had my mag since mags came out, and I still have all the original parts working the same way they did when it was first bought.
They are extremely easy to maintain. You do know how to work a screwdriver, right? :P
Just oil it after a days playing. Thats all there is to it.

:tup: All this Mag and Cocker talk, bah, slow markers. Get something fast, you know.... a Bko is only 265. And it'd be faster than both a Mag and Cocker, and with a couple minor upgrades (barrel and reg) it'd be real nice. Wouldn't hurt to look into them.

id go with a mag, thats what I use and it works like a dream. Easy to maintain, shoots plenty fast for me, doesn't break.
...and it just so happens I have three for sale :crazy: -- PM me for details

Save so more money and get the BKO, hopper and N2 tank. Then wait to get more mney to get some upgrades. The first thing you should get is a new regulator cause they barrel is pretty good. It's probably the last thing i'm going to get.

i was looking at a bko for a whil. i have an empire reloader. but i sold my nitro tank that i got at a garage sale for $37 and soold it to a friend for $55. so i dont have a nitro tank anymore and wont be able to afford one anytime soon.

Exactly! he needs reliability. You cannot break mags and they are simple to maintain.

ohhhh....yes i have my own gun.im embarassed to admit but it was a stingray II. but i have practically owned a rebel extreme because i fix one of my friends an i know how it works and stuff because i took it all apart and put it all together.

its ok, almost everybody started with a crappy gun. I was going to say to wait to get a BKO w/ Nitrgen and nice hopper ,but since you have a stingray just go for a used mag sine it seem you are in really need for a new gun.

07-03-2003, 03:46 PM
Just get a mag there is only one thing moving inside the gun its almost impossible to break it shoots pretty fast you can get a new Tko mag for 280 or find a nice used gun and tank for 270 i dunno just look on ebay
