I'd say get the lvl 10 right off the bat. make it easier to resell.

Mags were notoriously known as blenders before the lvl 7 and 10 bolts came out. This is why they aren't more popular than they are now, in spite of being possibly one of the best designed guns ever (an operation system that uses the air to not only propel the ball, but the bolt too? That's to me!)

Either that or get a force feeding hopper, not just an agitating electronic hopper like Revvy's or Ricos, the faster the better. Either one of those will prevent a majority of the chopping that will occur in un-upgraded mags. When I bought my mag, I never shot the thing before I had the level 10 bolt in. I feel it is THAT important.

Are you running HPA or Co2? If you're using CO2, make sure your front grip is not just what is known as a "gas-thru" grip (I.e. has a piece of stainless hose going through the grip and up to a vertical ASA) and is an expansion chamber. These prevent co2 from getting into the mag, since c02 is the killer of o rings and mags are made of practically nothing but o rings. The more chambers the expansion chamber has (they go from 1 all the way to 24. I've seen a 24 cross cut and oh my god. haha.)

Congrats on your purchase. These guns are tanks. They're the only gun that can be held underwater and operated without ANY adverse affects. Unless you have a weird hydro-phobic 45 grip.

Oh. And your grip (if it is the stock grip) is going to get uncomfortable. The Intelliframe is a good investment, as is the Y and Z grip, but those (yz) are going to be a little different than what you are used to playing with.

Overall, AMAZING deal.
