My first Mags

Just got these in yesterday. I picked up an RT pro on ebay for under $200. I figured I'd toss a LX in there, but to my surprise, it came with an RT pro X-valve and LX bolt! The auction said nothing about these so it really made my day!

The second is a beater classic RT. I just need an RT sear and some troubleshooting on the valve. (if anyone has an RT sear and pin cheap, let me know)

I also picked up the Dynaflow with a crossfire tank for about $80 shipped!





Now, I normally only play with pumps. My dad's always asking if I have some sort of machine gun to give him an edge, so I figure this is the easiest way to get him out playing.

That RT Pro was a hell of a deal!

Nice snag!

Wow, nice snags. The top RT looks a little silly with the backwards foregrip mount.

I couldn't stand the way the foregrip sat before, so I cut a slot and reversed it to bring it backwards. It'll do - I probably won't bother getting a different rail.

WOW! Nice finds. Dibs on first offer when you sell one?

I've only got the Classic. Bring one by next time and let me see what the RT feels like to fire.

I think I've got everything working right now. The Dynaflow was being bitchy today, and I eventually found an inspired replacement for the o-ring that had gone bad in the on/off assembly. I took a look at the shredded ring and waddled over to my paintball room where I grabbed an ancient SL-68 II valve body that was sitting around and found the perfect replacement on it!

I've now tried both guns with my Crossfire preset and oddly enough, the classic seems to be much more reactive at about 800 psi than the Xvalve was, even with that sloppy benchmark trigger frame! I'm really disappointed that I couldn't get a fill in the Dynaflow today. I really wanted to put the RT Pro in total devastation mode and impress everyone at the field...seriously considering paying for a fill at a proshop tomorrow.

Railgun - I actually don't even know which one I would sell right now, but sure you can have dibs. I have sort of a soft spot for hideously ugly guns, especially ones that shoot like this one does! On the other hand, that RT Pro is super, super nice. I'll bring them over when we next meet up...make sure you have lots of air on hand!

Does the RT Pro have a ULE trigger kit? If so that could be why it was less reactive.

Edit: Also that's an amazing deal you got there on the Pro. They both look sweet as well.
