OK, so you think I can't go wrong to get a BKO out of the box, buy an air system, add a Revvy or eVL II hopper to it and then progressively upgrade as I get the bread?

If so, what air system and cradle would you recommend? Would a low output pre-set 4500 psi be alright? What size? I'm mainly focusing on the Millennium series.

Also what hopper do you recommend since I may add an upgrade chip later and an anti-chop eye (if possible). When I do that I will add a trigger modification that will make it wail at possibly 20 bps.

Would upgrading the regulator in the future be important? Or the barrel?

Thanks for your feedback.:)

If you want to upgrade, the normal BM2K will upgrade the most, im not sure about the BKO, but the anti chop eye is only an extra $70 or close to it.

The input is around 400-500 so a low pressure bottle would be fine, if you want to upgrade the reg, see if planet have any of the eclipse ones left, or you could buy a gladiator.

I use a warp on mine, and dont chop, yesterday i was using a evolution set at 11BPS with the gun set at 13.9BPS and didn't really chop until the last game when a ball got wedged halfway down the barrel, and the other 8 in the string i fired collided into the back of it....paint water fountain out of the porting ;)

As for the barrel, i use a boomstick cos the stock barrel is a little to big(bore size)

Overall, you can do alot to them, take a look at http://www.obdo.net for all the info you need.

I know I'm getting detailed here, but there's no shop I can go to here in Stockholm where I can get help. I plan to find out exactly what components I want and order them from America, probably from a shop where I used to work.

I understand the ROF limitation at 14+ bps and that it can be changed with an upgrade chip. 14 bps would be o.k. to start with.

Your Boomstick: what length? What paint do you use? I plan to play insert and spend a lot of time up front in tight bunkers. (That's why light = good.)

I would also like to know if there's anything special I need to know about the cradle, hoses and hardware I need to order, if you can help there.

What size air tank do you use and how many shots do you usually get per fill? Could I get by with a 45 or do I need a 68 for 10-minute games? Or maybe something in between?

I've been reading a lot about BKOs and already have TANKS bookmarked. Also Tantrum Paintball. I just needed confirmation that they're good markers because people here badmouth them.

Amazing you use Warpfeed. Was it a hard set-up? Sounds like you play back, since that must be heavy?

As for Paul's comment about poor man's Angel: I love Angels but I am a poor man!

Thanks again.

I use a 14" boomstick, and the stock 12" barrel, i use Zap paint all the time, haven't used anything else through this.

You will probably need 2 90* elbows, some hose and what ever drop-forward/cradle that you want.

I use a 1.9l(114ci) and a 1.1(68ci) both 3k. I haven't used the 1.9 for a while cos there is no need too, the 114ci got 1700-1900 and thats at 3k, and i play back.

The warpfeed rules on my bushy, very easy to setup and it doesn't really affect the side weight of it, not reall heavy with it anyway.
