I'm going to be getting an AT-85 (I've always wanted one), but apparently the cog is broken. I've looked at the getreal site, but since it's a little messed up, I just wanted to make sure of where I am supposed to send my payment. Can anyone post the current information?

I'm thinking about buying the AT-10 kit while I'm at it. Is it hard to switch between the 85 and 10 setups? Are there any other wear items I should pick up if I'm making an order?

All the information on the site is correct.

The at-10 is just a front end replacement - 4 screws, the only thing you would need extra would be a magazine with out the feed hole in the side since there is no front magazine feeder.

The At-85 I'm getting has both the normal and the hopper magazines, so I should be all set there. Also has 5 front loaders, the red dot, the car stock, a remote, the video manual and spare parts. Not a bad setup.

Thanks for the address confirmation.

The normal magazines for the AT-85 won't work in the AT-10; or rather, they will work but will spill paint. The front of the magazine has an oval shaped hole to allow balls to fall in from the forward loader. On the AT-10 there's no loader, so the hole is exposed and paint can fall out. There is a special mylar piece that prevents this (or you can be ghetto and use 2 layers of black electrical tape like so:

to make a temporary ball stop.

I highly recommend you get a couple of extra guide plates and possibly a spare cog. The leaf spring on the plates is very easy to break, especially if you forget the proper mag loading sequence. They may or may not be included in the spare parts kit you're getting. You may want to invest in a spare unisizer as well, they won't break in the gun but are very thin walled aluminum and can get easily misshapen if left outside the gun.

Send Gumby a PM and he can give you any other information you may need.

If you need parts you can go through Northern Command as well, Northern Command PB. The owner is a member here as well as Gumby, both good guys in their own right. Get Real is the route to go for service and upgrades but I find Northern Command much quicker on parts as they are a retailer with a nice easy to use web store.

The cog's part number is TS1120 and retail for $18. I too would suggest ordering thru Northern Command paintball. I'm sure he has cogs in stock. The AT10 receiver would be a special order item. Low volume of sales has pushed it off of the standard build schedule. Figure 1-2 weeks from order to have one available to ship.
