WElcome to the world.
The baggie is a bunch of carriers. The LEvel 10 bolt is great. ITs downside the is O-ring that makes it functional. The Carriers "Carry" a special white O-ring.
See, each batch of O-rigns has different tolerances, and each one is a bit different. In order to compensate, the folks down at AGD came up witht he idea of providing you with different size carriers. This allows you to "tune in" to the right size carrier for your O-ring.
Theres 3 springs? Red bronze and silver. These are the bolt springs. Much like the bolt spring in your tippmann, except they are used the opposite way. If theres not a spring attached to the bolt (which should have been attached to the valve), you need to get one on there if you want it working right.
The gold thing is called the powertube tip. This is what holds the O-ring carrier in place.
For more information, you can AIM me (I logged off a few minutes ago becuase I had too many IMs for me to handle.. I just got back from vaca and am trying to clean up around here). My AIM is TheAlphaMag.
In the meantime while I do my forum cleaning, you can visit my site ( www.TheAlphaMag.com) and check out the mag tech section. I have a detailed article (which is identical to the LX thread in this forum).

Yeah that's called a foamie. I'm not absolutely sure, but I believe its purpose is to add cushon to the force of the bolt.

Reverse XValve.
Or just plain XValve.
It should have came with that, unless you bought used.

AIR Valves are the first valves ever made by agd.. They're the old classics.
The only worthqhile upgrade is an X-valve.
That means you'll need a new sear (possibly a new rail), on top of the valve. Teh valve will run you about $175 used, or about 300 new.

check AO for an old RT valve, close to 100 without lvl10.

Incorrect. I ran my x-valve with the stock AM/MM rail and classic sear just fine. If you don't believe me look at headley's mag (  ) It is an all out RT pro minus the classic sear and AM/MM rail

You'd get the most out of it with an RT sear.
