History Question: Blue Nights MicroMag PTP!! Pictures Inside!
Alright everyone, I just recently picked this marker up and got it working, its gorgeous (9.9/10), and as you can see has all of the original parts.
However, I'd like to know a bit more about the marker. I know the anno is called blue nights, but nothing beyond that.
What generation mag is this (and what year), what's the history on it?
Thanks in advance everyone!

its pretty much a stock pro teams products micromag.
micromag valve(will not rt)
you also have the matching rf adapter
and i believe that is a benchmark offset cradle for adjustable tank regs like the raptor regs

Dont have the official years but this should help and yours would be a Gen4 being as it has the milled detent and both barrels which were originally purchased together or the Armson (the one not on the gun you have pictured) after the fact. The drop and warpfeed tube were optional addon pieces to be purchased. I will say its really rare to see the warpfeed tube let alone it match annoed by PTP.
Gen1 ~ Fixed barrel, no foregrip, bolt-on detent, square back
Gen2 ~ 'Cocker barrel, no foregrip, bolt-on detent, square back, has one screw to hold the powerfeed on
Gen3 ~ 'Cocker barrel, foregrip, bolt-on detent, square back, has 2 screws which held the powerfeed on
Gen4 ~ 'Cocker barrel, foregrip, milled detent, "wing" back, The change to "Armson" barrels took place midway through the gen4 release period
Gen5 ~ 'Cocker Barrel, Vert feed, different milling, milled detent

Looks like he has a version that is between a 3 and 4. From the pic, he has the milled detent, but has the square back.
Also, I don't think that is a warpfeed tube/adapter. It is just a right feedneck. I used to have on my Micromag.

So is it gen 4 or gen 3.5? Had no idea it was cocker threaded?
And so what year does that place this in?
How many were made in the blue nights color?
And finally, would giving the number on the valve help? they're matching

Like I said its an early Gen4 due to the milled detent but if you want to get technical and nit pick you can call it a 3.5
Years: Gen1- 92/93, Gen2- 94/95, Gen3- 96/97, Gen4- 99, Gen5- 00/01
As for numbers there are no real figures to be had and tracking has been tried the best you may get is if you message PTP they might have figures but probably not.
And no valve serial number will not help they all just lead back to AGD and may give a year time frame for the valve only.

Yes, get ahold of PTP. I asked them about a PTP cocker that I had, and got some pretty good info from them.
