I'm going to add a bob long regulator to my bushy that i'm planning to buy in a few weeks. Will it connect to where the handle is on it now or do i need to get a vertical adaptor for it?

I think you will need to get an ASA for it, but you should double check. I'll look into it for you. LAPCO makes them. :)

I'm planning on getting a silver bushy, not the lcd kind but i have 3 more questions.

Should i get the Chrome VA (http://www.actionvillage.com/011-3000-011.html) or the Lapco VA (http://www.actionvillage.com/011-3000-012.html)
here are some pics of what they look like on the gun.

Lapco -> http://www.pbnation.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=356806

Round Chrome - > http://www.pbreview.com/forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=168611

Also, where can i get a chrome grip like in the first one. I like shiny things.

Lastly can i get the X milling on the regular bushmasters? not just the b2k2's? If so how much extra?

Yes you can get the X milling on Bm2ks. Gen8 and 9 comes w/ the Xmilling. Just call the company your getting the bushy from and ask if it has the xmilling.

I personally like the chrome VA, but a lotta ppl like how the LAPCO goes all the way to the end of the body, next to the LPR though. It covers up the serial number and info tho, so be aware of that.

Hehe, that grip isn't chrome, it is just a clear dye sticky. They are known to turn yellow eventually though. But they do look awesome on silver and chrome parts.

sorry, confused my terms ... i meant where can i get the chrome frame ...

How can you tell what generation the bushy is?

well there are a few different factors that determine the generation. the milling is one, whether it has a battery door or tray, the newest ones have stick triggers and 2 peice barrels stock. . . 4th gen and up also had stiffer springs made to handle the pressure of preset tanks. . .

where are those pics at? is it private property? it kinda looks like wallace marine park, i have seen some people (and i have played there a couple times) play there. maybe i could get in on some games with you guys sometime, looks fun :)

This is all very useful info. Should i get the lastest generation? Which is best? And if i were going to order one, where from? Action village has them at the best prices i can find ... $445. Do you think they would have the newer models and carry the milling i want or should i try and order from a distibutor?

It is private property of a mutual friend, we hooked her dad on it. Probably wont beable to come out, we dont make those decisions since we dont own the property.

Once i played at jory hill park, that was pretty fun since it was in the forest.

You should call action village to see if they have the lastest generations. Make sure you ask them if they have the new X milling AND a stick trigger. And make sure the guy gets off his lazy *** to check.. Action village isn't known for their prompt customer service :rolleyes:

The latest generation will always be the best.. Its just ICD improving their product based on customers suggestions! I'd say go for the lastest generation enless you buy used.

If you want a new bm2k with an ACE, then you have to order from ICD.

You can't use a bob long reg with a preset 800psi

Riptide

What does the stick trigger look like compared to the old ones?


why cant i regulate the 800 lower to what i need for the bushy with the bob long not Richy_C?

If you use a preset, the reg dies, it won't work. You need another reg.

i think he is saying that the reg cant handle the pressure of a preset tank (800+ psi) but im not sure, this is the first i have heard of that. . .

Riptide
