As i mentioned im just about to buy an old Mag , And im expecting it to look cosmetically inferiour to the newer models.

What companies do you guys reccomend for jazzing up this gun.

ie, New Grips, Barrels etc,

Tell me which youv found to have good performance in the field, Dont want that gun slipping out of my hand now do I ;)

Ta for any advice

Man, I just sold my pair of ProTeam Grips. I would try those or Dye Stickeys. As for upgrades you DO NOT need to upgrade the internals. Good upgrades will be a trigger frame(see FAQ). Foregrip if running nitro, and an expansion chamber if running C02. Other than that good barrels for the Mag are Dye SS and J&J Ceramic, but stay away from the Smart Parts Tear Drop, not because they don't have good acuracy they are gas hogs. For everything else see the FAQ. Hope this helps.

Thanks for rthe info :),

First thing im gonna get is a repair kit and replace all the seal , oring etc.

I was wondering after looking at pic of gun the handle seems kinda in a poor state. Would it be possible to buy one of those new inteliframes to go on it.

IM assuming all model 7's should accept those inteliframes but others may know better

Also has anyone got any good experiences with vendors who ship abroard as im in the UK.

Thanks

Definitly upgrade the barrel first. This will improve your accuracy and decrease ball breaks. There are lots of nice ones....the best looking ones(in my opinion) are the dye boomsticks/2 piece J+J, 32 degrees carbon fiber/ss, the ACI grafitti series, and of course, the Smart Parts all americans. A double trigger frame will increase the ROF on your mag, but stay away from the Benchmarks...they are poopy:D . Gas thru grips are always nice (Kapp and benchmark both make nice ones). A sight rail also adds a cool look to a mag, although I think these are kinda useless. ANS and smart parts (the eclipse) both make nice sight rails. Eclipse kits add a nice look to your gun, but I don't really think it is worth the $100-$250 for looks alone. As for drop forwards...the CP/WGP flame drops are definitly sick looking. The Kapp Drop Zone II are also very nice. As far as grips go....I am partial to the hogues, although the Dye stickies will definitly keep the gun in your hands (as will the 32 degrees grips...the same exact thing, but the 32 degrees are cheaper..)
