Im doing some research before I look to spend $500 on the t68 gen7, with your experience, how is the marker over all? (Reliability, simplicity, accuracy)
The T68 "WAS" mostly for looks(mag)... If you purchase the "Bolt Lock" for it, you can use it in battle. The lock cost like 69 bucks and it comes with a top rail. This lock more than doubles it's reliability. I was going to sell mine, but they came out with this upgrade in 2012. The T68 is not simple at first, but as you use it, it becomes easy, ..like tying your shoe. Accuracy truly depends on your barrel selection. Any polished barrel with Spyder threads, will put you up there.
It looks a hell of a lot better than the older feed adapter, but I think the older one works better, if magazine fed. The spring pressure can sometimes push more than one ball up into the barrel. Dam, the new one looks awesome though. I'm keeping the old one, just in case.
@AutomaticUniverse Great!! I´m glad you´re happy with it, my marker is always double feeding and I tried everything, now my last option is to buy one from Tippman :-( and get rid of my T68
The T68 is not made for performance, they're 90% show pieces. Check your volocity at a paintball field, and make sure your T68 is shooting at around 285 fps. You can't go wrong with a Tippmann or BT marker, if you want performance... I have a BT TM7, had to change the circuit board though.
