How to make an angel really nice?

[FlyBoy69]

Hi all I want to make my angel really nice and awsome and I was wondering what I should do to make my 2k2 LCD look better and perform better?!?! any suggestions would be very helpfull thank you!

[ShadowsOfTheFallen]

perform better? get a cobra bolt or something like that and keep it well tuned. thats about it for performance as far as i know. making it look better is all in the eye of the beholder. either you can add a bunch of chrome parts, or, switch out parts for a diffrent color. like if its black, use a blue barrel, drop cradle, mini reg, sight rail, back plate, feed neck and trigger. something like that. or you can go crazy. strip the thing all apart send it out for some custom milling then have it annoed flat black, blue or red. how much money do you have to spend :rrrright: ?

[FlyBoy69]

about $300, I was thikning of getting the R11 bolt and a chrome low rise

[kody_2kDark]

i wouldnt reccomend the R11, i have one in my bag and it dosent perform that well.

[warpedx]

A good tune up is the best performance enhancement. 90% of the aftermarket parts for angels are for cosmetic purposes only. Once you have it running good, might as well look good while you're at it.

You don't need to change anything to your gun. Leave it stock! All I can say is get a Toolkit. Learn how to take care of your marker, and tune it.

I recommend that you drop some oil in your exhaust valve, hammer, and the asa about every 10 cases. Make sure that you check your LPR before you play, and maybe your Ram or Snap Ring if the need adjustment.

What you need is a hacked Cobra IR3 grip frame, in black...hey...I think I know someone who might have one...:puzzled:

Just Kidding...:evilgrin:

[WarpedKid02]

I know that the ir3 frame is sweet, but you might want to try it first before hacking it, and putting it on your gun. You never know, you might not like it.

[ShadowsOfTheFallen]

yeah. IR3 frames are the bomb (good for fast snap shooting and such) but i hate the triggers. but once you take some time to set up the trigger they rip even easier then LCD trigger frames. notice i didnt say faster, just easier.

ok, I want to learn how to take my gun apart and clean it and such, because my local store makes me pay $35 (that's the discount) to even look at my angel or do anything. so I want to learn anybody want to teach me? i would greatly appreciate it! what's the best bolt to get?

[Styles Bitchley]

If somebody gave ME $300 to blow on Angel upgrades, here are some of the things i'd look at getting, in no particular order:

-tool kit
-good barrel selection
-good hopper(s), EVO II and/or HALO B
-Sidewinder reg
-aftermarket locking feed(CCM, NW, etc.)
-DEZ bolt
-Eclipse Blade frame

Plus any small doo dads you prefer for looks and feel, like SS buttons, grips, angled vertical adapter, etc.

[Syentific]

I totally agree. I think people too often look past the locking feed necks as a functional upgrade. The way I see it, it is better to get caught with it than without it.

Having numerous vert-feed cockers there were many the game my hopper popped out of place, or just popped off all together. It can really throw a peanut in your poop factory. :doh:

Nice selection by the way STYLES.

why are you ordering a new board? what's wrong with the board in the gun? You say you've got a 2k2 you shouldn't need a new board unless something is majorly wrong with it, and then most of our sponsors will swap your board for a working one for a lot less than $100.

[FlyBoy69]

well my board is fried. but I am saying it's going to be about $100 because the proshop I go to will install and take the board out for $35 ($35 to install and $35 to take it out) and it is going to cost me $50 to over night my old board in and have them send me a new board (Over night). I am using the AngelGuy

[Emmit]

A) they shouldn't charge twice once the gun is in their shop
B) you can do it yourself
C) if it's going to be that expensive I'd send the whole thing to one our sites sponsors

[FlyBoy69]

how do I do it my self, I already put a regular on wrong :(

[Emmit]

removing the wires, and screwing the board into the grip frame really isn't that hard, but if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself dont', but don't let a shop charge you 35 to pull it, then 35 to put it back in, that's ridiculous

[FlyBoy69]

ok

[Styles Bitchley]

That's rediculous! Send it to one of our sponsors, or do it yourself!

[FlyBoy69]

yea I know! I just don'tr want to F**** up my angel!

[theflash2k2]

for performance, all u really need is a good barrel. a good tank is a good upgrade too. i have heard that bolts do well like the r11 but i dont use one. thats really it except for some front guys like me like it more compact and back guys like the highrise for faster feeding. for looks is really just whatever u like to costumize it.
