i just got a new auto cocker and am wondering what upgrades will be best for it

sumsimpleracer

This isn't much of an upgrade as it is a strong recommendation. If you are still using CO2 it is best to switch to HPA so you do not risk freezing o-rings knowing the mass amount of o-rings inside the autococker.

just like any marker the first upgrade would be a barrel, since it's closed bolt operation it's recommended that you would get a barrel kit with several bore sizes.

The next thing i recommend would be an electronic hopper. Though your cocker is more likely mechanical than electric, it's better to have the electronic hopper because the closed bolt operation doesn't allow for much recoil meaning if you are not using a "shake-em-up" non-electric hopper it may be harder to get rid jams inside the neck entrance of the hopper.

If you don't have an on/off valve for your autococker than i think i would recommend that you do get one that way between games you can switch off the air flow because more than likely you may not have a safety switch so that way if any thing happens while your gun is sitting on a table it doesn't go off.

Next i would go towards the electric end...Buy an eblade, e2, raceframe, osiris, anything. But this is if you plan on playing a little bit more competitive, because if you go this route you'll prolly be shooting a lot more paint and money will be going a lot towards paint.

Then after that i would work more towards efficiency, like if you feel your spending too much time at the air refill station, i'd prolly be a new inline regulator, lpr, bolt, valve, hammer, etc...

OR instead of working towards efficiency you can speed it up even more by getting a shorter RAM or readjusting your trigger (if it is still mechanical) by having a shorter pull due to the three way.

Everything after this is more towards style, just remember to keep weight down, keep air efficient, keep paint flying straight, don't buy drop fowards.

Things that i recommend more towards the style end is the an adjustable neck, it'll be much more convenient that way incase your hopper is sliding around it won't after adjustments or if your new hopper is too big/too small.

Get a barrel kit. If it has a threaded feedneck, I'd get a clamping feedneck just because they're much more convenient. I'd also get a on/off for the same reason. Then play with it. when you feel something on it is holding back the performance, upgrade it. Realistically, you get EXTREMELY small gains when upgrading for the amount of $$$ it costs. The best possible upgrades would be a spring kit (~$6) to be able to tune your operating pressure and efficiency, and a good inline reg if the stock isn't to maximize consistency. Never replace a valve unless going to an MQ...it'll cost at least a little and give you nothing that buying the spring kit wouldn't have. A bolt is good if the stock is aluminum. If it's delrin then there's no real need to replace it. 3-ways (if mechanical) are all preference. The differences from best to worst are actually quite negligible. Rams if mech any will do just fine, you'll never be held back by a ram when mechanical. If electro, adding QEV's to a ram will put any ram made capable of shooting faster than field limit, so again, while some are smoother or might operate at a slightly lower pressure, the REAL difference is minute. Most modern LPR's are pretty consistent, so as long as it's externally adjustable, it should be fine unless you like the look of something else more, or just want to replace it to replace it. That's what most "upgrades" will actually boil down to, you replace something just because you can.

well the gun i got is a black magic im upgrading form a diablo wrath i had a virtue board in my wrath and it shot pretty fast and i got the black magic becouse i have my first tournament coming up soon and a friend of mine said it was good and i could probably find one that was cheap

txaggie08

First thing I would be looking for(in that case) is one the MQ2's. Alsomight look into modding the frame for an e-blade board(i think that one is SF)
