Right, i'm waiting for my Ego 05 to arrive. I'm aware this is the first model of the go so I'm wounderijg where I can get spares from. ANSGear do o ring spare kits and just paintball do some bits, can anyone else suggest places to buy. Even the planet shop seemsto have forgotten this older model.

Hey, regarding upgrades it shoots great from stock so unless there's something about it you don't like I wouldn't really bother upgrading (maybe get a cure 3 bolt and a newer oops) - thats just me though ;) As for orings and the like most of them are identical to newer ego models so ego10 orings will generally fit in ego5s, only thing that you might have trouble getting hold of it detents as they are different to newer models but i'm sure someone on here will sell you some!

Hope this helps you out!

Cheers. I've heared there's not much you need to do with it as 'out of the box' it's top. I found somewhere that did packs of detents, can't rememerb where. I'll probably pickup a cure 3 bolt, they look pretty good.

Might change the barrel, what thread do Ego's use, is it the Autococker.

Also who in the UK does 05 flashing if I need it. Without actually asking Planet, I've heard they don't do 05's anymore and the latest software release was 1.08.

Yep, its cocker thread :) not sure where would flash it, possibly 'Rabies' on these forums could do it. But i'm not really sure you need to do it that much as most of the settings such as kick in you can set manually :)

You'll be fine on the flashing issue mate, I shoot an 05 and it's fuly millennium legal and all that. I believe the latest firmware is 1.10 (I've got 1.08), but very few ego 05's have it cos It was 06 EGO's firmware, I may be talking out my ar$e though, so don't hold me to that :p Yeah they take autococker barrels. Also, http://www.paintballwarehouse.co.uk/search.php?Category=27 sells ego 05 detents. There's not much you can do to EGOs other than a new bolt, reg, ASA, barrel and feedneck and a 15* FRM, even then, it's all just preference, my ego is completely stock and it shoots brilliantly, kicks a bit more than new markers, but it's pretty consistent with good paint.

I am an Ego tech and have a ton of Ego 5/6 spares, together with CCU kits in various colours.

Let me know what you need and I will sort you out a good price.

For example, I could do you a pack containing a full rebuild kit, spare bolt, 6 detents and a CCU kit in chrome, blue or E-Star Olive camo.

Should keep you rolling for a while!

BTW, the Ego you just bought has a Star Frame fitted, which was an expensive upgrade.

Really, I really did get a good deal for £120....as long as it arrives. The guy I bought it off has kept in touch and has sold stuff before, so all should be good.

Once I get paid I'll probaly have a kit off you. cheers for the offer.
