well you can do anything to it. However its a matter of if you want to, as you could already buy a better one for less then itd cost to upgrade. Lets say you wanted to put a Emag rail/frame/battery housing on it. Looking around 350-450 used. Xvalve about 125-175 used, ULE body about 100 bucks. You could buy a nice Emag for 450 and up. so is it worth it?

However just for the sake of upgrading, Xvalve, ULE body, Nice barrel kit (ule body uses cocker threads) new rail, new trigger frame and foregrip.

If you're just playing recball, keep it as is. Mags are still good markers, and will still fling paint reasonably well, and upgrading it to be 'up to speed' is going to be more money than it's worth.

Just buy a good air tank and hopper, and go have fun with it.

Id suggest perhaps looking for a RT Pro, or ULE RT. They can be had for fairly cheap, then youd have a oldschool mag and a newer mag, the RT could be for your days when you need a higher ROF. I love both the RT pro's i bought.

Yup, buying a nice used mag will be a lot cheaper than upgrading your current one.

you can purchase the level 10 kit that will let you rip like the super markers of today but no need of expensive boards, eyes or electronics. It's a pretty neat setup. Keep in mind though that you can still short stroke the trigger.

an rt pro or valve is your best bet, the level 10 bolt is really just a mechanical anti-chop system, that when tuned well, makes it near impossible to chop. i've tuned em to not even leave a crease in paper. for speed and a lighter trigger though, an rt pro/x valve is near a must unless you can find a hyperframe

It depends on how you play. Speedball vs electros? You'll be outgunned. Speedball vs 98's? Should be a good game. Woodsball? You'll rock. I'd run it off compressed air, get a Level 10 bolt and maybe an Intelliframe.

This is a very big undertaking to do a website like that. I'm just saying that if you want to make something like this, work your way up. Start with simple websites and add functionality afterwards. This is not a 5 hour website.

If I had a spare stock mag laying around... I'd build a spydermag.
