I would look fine and work fine with an 18rd conversion magazine... and those kits are relatively cheap, or you can buy them assembled. With Milsim play, 18 shots isn't that bad anyway... Not to mention you can convert to direct feed or use a remote.

Either way, I'm thinking about this marker. I've owned a Gen1 Mini and it sucked, but they have fixed a lot of the problems with them... and I do need a new electro

All I've got now is a couple Emags and a soon-to-be E-spyder. It'd be nice to be able to tech and buy parts for a marker without having to cruise AO or MCB.

Got mine in my hands, dry fired it a bit and putting paint through it tomorrow.

First impressions.... the looks are freakin' sweet! The battery door is just like the old 12vt Revvies, sliding in place. However, this leaves the slot to reach the velocity adjuster open.

The 4 position selector switch must be in 'safe' to turn on, thats nice. The switch is kinda flimsy and will be the first part to break.

The sliding stock is a little wobbly but not bad. There is a plug if you want to ditch the stock. The front folding foregrip is way to wobbly for my tastes, but I do plan on throwing my BT M16 Magazine kit in its place.

The trigger feels kinda mushy, but then again are you really going to notice that in game? Looks like a double trigger will drop in easily...

The front end shrouds several inches of the barrel. They did not do like the Kingman MR shrouds or the stock X7 one by making the shroud too small for aftermarket barrels. First barrels I tried were a LAPCO Bigshot and a Stiffi... the fit snug and perfect!

So far I'm loving it...

I like the direction BT has taken ever since they were bought out.

Vern1 · 07-24-2008, 01:03 PM

Greetings,
Mine is waiting for me at home....came in today.
I need to tear it down and look at it.

MAP is 399 on these.

I'm pretty sure Ben Tippmann still owns BT, KAS never bought them out. They just distribute for them.

Cocker Master · 07-24-2008, 02:36 PM

It's not? BT stands for Battle Tested now, I don't think ben tippman has much to do with it anymore.

russc · 07-24-2008, 02:52 PM

Cocker Master, that came about because "Tippmann Sports" sure didn't like another company selling inline blowbacks called "Ben Tippmann."

Just got back.... We put some paint through one. Used a Vlocity JR and a 68 ci tank. I like it! Louder than My Mini. I would want the New Designz bolt (I have an extra.), and a remote. This gun has the redesigned detents, which cures the chopping problem. I think the trigger needs a magnet mod of some type. I would like to see one disassembled. I also noticed the foregrip was a little loose. As long as it does not break, it wouldn't be a bother.

Just read there is a doule trigger option. Maybe the TBO triggers will fit?!?!
