I have been checking out a automag of m friends that i could get for 350 and it is the flatline nitro system (68ci) and a upgraded lapco barrel not powerfeed it is very new and is all on a automag classic im wondering if it is a good deal because im am ready to get rid of my spyder compact. Thanks!

sounds like a good deal, but you'll need a revolution hopper

It's a good deal, just make sure you ALWAYS use nitrogen and a Revy. If possible, since it's not a powerfeed body, you should look into purchasing the Armson Universal Powerfeed.

You can get a power feed for 80 bucks,on the 68 the way the ball go into the gun ,if you dont keep at least 20 balls in the hopper they like pop back into the hopper when you shoot the gun,powewr feed dont do that.Also power feed ,is a feed left too right kinda.and over the top. the class 68 feeds right too the right of the gun.I use a rev 12 vlt. on my 68 and seems too not have that problem of balls blowing back into the hopper. Plus the power feed is alot more smoother.If my spelling sucks o well i just got up lol.
get it it is a great deal. i aggree get the pro team power feed. never run co2 through it ever!

yeah with the electropneumatic hype, alot of people are not interested in the automag anymore..a couple years back the automag was up there with the cockers, but since cheap affordable electropneumatic guns like the BM2k and Impulse have been creaeted, they can buy that instead of the mag.

its too bad, it looks like its a good gun, but the company doesnt have any recent ones, i didnt really look into it. i was thinking of getting one a while back, but they are exspensive.

well AGD did come out with the Emag, and that seems to be a success...and the RT is still pretty popular..i think that AGD will hang in there for a little longer...they make very nice reliable guns, and as long as they do that, people will continue to buy their guns. They may not be as popular in the tourney scene, but alot of rec players don't want to pay like 500 dollars for an electropneumatic paint sprayer..

Well i guess everyone around where i live still use auto mags,not saying cockers arn't there.But auto mag still one of the guns of choice.The good thing is these kids get there parents to get them a elec. type gun and you can pick there trade in for a dance. I got both mine used,so I still use them.I use remotes on my guns in the back woods,We use a 26 lb co2 fire extinguisher (think thats how its spelled)Made a fill station out of it.Makes carrying it easy.

the rts have an unsteady trigger so unless you have a a consistant trigger pull forget it, but the emag kicks some majorarse w/a force feed system, check out the review at http://www.pbstar.com apperently hybred is awesome

the automags are good solid guns and sounds like you have come across quite a deal.I have loved automags for awhile now the only problems with mags is that there are not nifty elcheapo upgrade parts most are costly if you really want to see any noticeable difference anyway. They are very nice sturdy and simplistic in design giving them rock solid performance most of the time o-rings are the only thing to go wrong with them however there is always sacrifice and the sacrifice being that no matter what you do to a mag your mag will look like everyone elses mag no originality as opposed to say a cocker which can be custom milled if your into that sort of thing but as far as performance .. in an out of the box setup AGD did a very nice job.Now if they would just put out somethin new a different body kit or possibly a vert feed 68 .... something...

well if you want a simple gun you can depend on once every few months and aren't keen on burning paint, the mag i an excellant gun. IT comes stock with the best possible internals i've seen, good gun, i like mine but the 2001 vert cocker is my next paint spuwer
