more questions aboot C02 and mags

[STTAB]

im in the process of buying a micromag of someone, not the RT version, and it comes with a nitro duck "tuff Skin"air tank, but my local site dont do air or nitrogen refills, just Co2.

the micromag has an expansion chamber on it. I just wanna know if its safe to use Co2 on a micromag (i now you cant on the new RT's with retro valve) and if you can run Co2 in the above air tank?

 

[STTAB]

well i know you can run Co2 from an air tank, but what about the regulator, would that be ok?

The micromag uses the 68 valve, which can be run on Co2. Though dont know about putting Co2 in your air tank, though I wouldnt suggest it - it could be possible. *If* your tank can take Co2 the regulator wont matter much, infact it would be an improvement preventing velocty spikes due to weather conditions.

I would highly reccomend that you try and use air on a mag because it prevents o-rings wearing out and veloctiy inconcistancies.

i am fairlly sure you can stick Co2 in the tank, but i dont know what would happen to the regulator.

if it doesnt work, im sure i could get a cheap Co2 tank about somewhere, and sell the air system.

The regulator will regulate the gas comming out no matter what the gas is.

Dont sell your air tank, keep it just incase your ever able to get air at your site, or you might want to get a scuba tank and use that for fills.

scuba tanks are pretty expensive ( i

wait a min....my dad's got a hotel and hes got loadsa big Co2 tanks, but hes got oxygen nitrogen mix (which is meant to be very potent and you need special licenses for it, but would that work?) for draught beer and lager...hmmmm, perhaps...
if i could get hold of a fill station adaptor thingy...mmmmm

anyways, in conclusion it should be fin to run Co2 through the mag, tank and regulator (?) just not recomended cos Co2's not the kindest of gasses (to the gun)

anyone know about nirogen oxygen mixes?

 

[ciaran.mooney]

Holy crap dont put that nitrogen and oxygen mix stuff in your tank!

If he's finished with the tanks and they are HSE standard you could *probably* get them filled with high pressure gas, if they can take it.

 

[STTAB]

lol. he might actually have a high pressure air one threre, i'll have to ask tonight
