I never realized what I've been missing all these years...

I got my Mag in the mail from Mr Big (thanks - looks great!), and it is a NICE gun.

The Intelliframe makes a huge difference - I used to own a Mag with a Benchmark .45 frame on it, and I hated it. Didn't own it very long - it was the reason I swore off Mags for nearly 5 years, until I saw the Pneumag conversion. Now that I've got my Mag, I'm not even sure I'm going to do the conversion! At least not until I get to play with it more.

In short, I'm a Mag fan now. I still like Cockers, though.

Benchmark frames really are gimp on the mags. Too bad, because their stuff is great otherwise.

Glad you like yours. They are good guns.

Does the valve have the ULE on/off? They make for excellent trigger feel. I agree, play with it as-is for a bit before making it a pneumag. I'm going to convert one of mine and tinker with it, and leave the other one stock (ie more reliable).

remember, Benchmark did their frames, over ten years ago. a lot has changed since then, and when AGD did the intelliframe, well they got it right in what worked better than what came before. its just like the UMF, Y grips, 90 frames. there are a lot more options than what was available, even 5 years ago.

i've been shooting mags for almost 10 years now. though, i haven't used my mag that much anymore, its still my anvil, if i air it up, i know that it will work and work well.

I actually really like the benchmark frame on my classic RT. It lengthens the pull so it's very easy to sweet spot it.

Benchy, longer smoother pull.

Telly, shorter crisper pull.

Different strokes without a doubt.


Have you pictures of this wonderful marker?

My piranha beats my benchmark trigger pull.

Benchmark did their frames when the AGD stock frame was out, complete with correct geometry. The Z frame worked correctly, and even the dye frames were close.

Benchmark probably did what they did on purpose though. Heavy trigger pulls are unpopular.

With a Classic Valve the ULT trigger pull kit is terrible. The trigger pull is ultra mushy and it is just a chuff machine.

From what I hear, the standard RT on off assembly should make the trigger pull better, and actually work correctly.

I just bought a mag valve that included the RT assembly even though the guy didnt mention it. Bonus!

Talking Logic Ultimate Mech Mag Frame

I like my Logic UMF best of all the frames I've tried.
If you want a foregrip you will need an RT Pro style rail.
The standard Automag/Minimag rails are too short as the frame was designed
for use on the RT Pro rails. You can get one on the BST section in here
or I know theres one on BEO or here :

I second that, they feel unbelievable. I thought the Intelliframe was nice until my Pneumag with UMF arrived.

I like the triggers on UMF's but I do not like their hard edges. The front and back strap of the frame are square, the trigger guard is almost sharp..so on.

With a raw one you could buy it, fix the overly hard edges everywhere, anodize it, and have custom grips made (since rounding the frame makes the footprint different)

It would be great.
