Ion Progress Thread
Hey guys,
I have been in the paintball scene for a little under 5 months now, I started off with a Viewlaoder Triad could not get on with it, so used it once & sold it. The money I got from that plus some extra I brought myself all new gear, including my Ion.
I know the Ion is not the best of guns but for me, as I am only starting out, its perfect! Brought it completely stock & in these few months, just upgraded it along the way.

As it stands:
SP Q-Lock Feed Neck
14" Progressive Barrel
Evolution 2 (with Z Board, also cut the neck down, to make the egg sit lower to the gun)
Kila Magnetic Ball Detents
Lucky Green Eyez
QEV 360
Modified Stock Bolt (Cheers Oily, works GREAT
)
On/Off ASA Purge Rail
48cu 3000psi Air System
& the newest edition to the Ion, that I fitted today, T-Board with DYE Membrane Pad. Had a little play with it, loving it already, need to adjust the settings but am running out of air fast, thanks to the response trigger setting lol
T Board & DYE Membrane Pad
Next bit to get is a new trigger. Brought myself a CP Sling Roller Blade but I am not so keen on the feel to it, so just going to have a look around, see what else is on offer, anyone suggest one?
What do you guys think? I know must of you will say, why spend that much on an Ion, save your money & get an ego/DM range. Like I said, I am only just starting out & thos guns are a bit advance for me at the minute, the Ion is working great, had no problems with it & it serves it purpose. When I get better, start taking part in comp, then I will upgrade.
Also, was speaking to a yank on sunday down at my local site, he said that up at Snertterton, every sunday they do Supair, wanted to go watch, mayb take part in the future, anyone know the address of it.
Chris,
