AGD Automag RT
This is a broad review of the AGD classic RT. I'm not reviewing one in particular because I've owned probably 20 of them over the last 10 years, so its based on a collective experiences with all of them.
Looks can be subjective, you either love em or you hate em. Personally, I think a polished body with a smear kit looks more sick than anything else out there, you may disagree but thats how I stand
Performance...did I mention I've had over 20 of em? I wouldn't keep going back to them if I didn't love the way they shot. Efficiency is okay with a level 7 bolt, mediocre at best with a lvl 10 installed. Generally out of a 47 ci 3000psi tank I get about 450 shots with a level 7 bolt, about 400 with a tuned level 10. You can adjust the reactivity of the trigger by adjusting the input pressure of your HPA tank. At 650 psi you will really won't get an rt effect, but if you put in 1100 psi your halo will have its work cut out for it. I prefer about an 850 psi input. I can single shoot it like no other and if I need to, find the sweet spot and really get it ripping. These markers shoot great, paint on paint, excellent recharge rate(they actually have shoot UP for the first couple shots in a stream), and very well balanced.
Maintanence...easy as pie. Really I've only ever seen 2 things cause issues with these. One is that over years orings do get worn and need replaced. One repair kit will last a lifetime for a classic RT. The other is the sear. The older sears can wear down over time and need replaced. Thats it. Two drops of good oil before you play and you're set.
Cons...One thing that might be a con is the weight. It is a heavy marker compared to what else is out there. I like a heavier shooting platform, but I know most people would see that as a negative so I'm putting it here. Also the classic RT bodys only work with classic RT Valves, so you can't interchange those with classic mag or RTP parts unless you replace both the body and valve and get a bushing for the rail. Also these are NOT co2 friendly, HPA only boys and girls(only a con if you live where you cannot get HPA).
Value...best part. I've spent as little as $120 and as much as $350 on these over the years depending on condition and upgrades. One thing I can say with certainty is that they hold their value. I never had one that I lost money on.
Overall these are fantastic markers that can hold their own against anything else out there if you know how to shoot them(triggers can take a little getting used to).
some of mine....
