Hi pupster - in the same position meself.

Loads of good info to be had at the AGD website:

www.airgun.com

If you are the bad cuisine side of the Atlantic, they have a site for Europe too, but you can download the manuals and techie diagrams to help you when you strip it.

Also get yourself registered on the users forum at www.automags.org - loads of FAQs and helpful tech advice from other users, although lots of it tends to be about the new shiny toys (E-Mag, RT, etc). However, ask a question and you'll get a reply, and the guys from AGD post to it too.

There's also a handy FAQ at Warpig: www.warpig.com/paintball/technical/paintguns/automag_faq.shtml
which appears in a few other places on the web.

Arg dont volenteer me! And there are people out there that know a lot, lot, lot more about mags than i do.

But there isnt much to watch out for on mags, if your running Co2 only problems you're likely to have are worn out o-rings in the internals, just get a Automag Spares kit and replace them. Oil it before and after very game by putting a few drops of oil in it. Erm you might get a build up of dirt inside the tubes and possibly the internals, just strip down the mag and clean them. Get a filter put on your Co2 tank to solve that.

Any really major problems just send it to AGD Europe and they'll fix it for a small-ish cost.

And get HPA as soon as you can, cos you'll get the full 16bps a mag is capable of, with no drop-off.

THANKYOU

Thanks guys

been out spanding and picked up a few bits just need to get a filter and im ready to rock

one last question


i have been told to put a few drops on oil into the fittings where the bottle attaches without a barrel in and fire a doezen times to lub the internals

GOOD OR BAD IDEA?????

 

[ciaran.mooney]

Ok thats not how you oil a mag. Go to this link and download the mag manual, that'll give you all the info you need.

To oil a automag you put a 2-3 drops of oil in the air inlet, where the gas goes in. And dry fire it a few times with the barrel off, that means all the interals get oiled.

The bolt will need to be oiled lightly, separatly.

 

[Dave S ECI]

You are right first time bout oiling mags, put the oil where the bottle attaches and shoot it about 30 times with barrel off.

GOOD IDEA, makes them work a lot better in the long term.

I wouldn't worry about oiling the bolt though.

 

[longballer01]

Do you have a stock bolt. if you do and you shoot quickly then throw that botl away and buy a venturie bolt or you will chop balls. i have owned several of them and had problems with all.

there is a nylon bushing between regs in the marker assembly that you need to flip very often or you will wear it out quickly.


if you do not have a power feed on your mag then you NEED a revo hopper if you desire to shoot with any quickness. you can also drill a 3/8 inch hole in the feed tube if you do not have a powerfeed to let the blowback air escape so that your balls dont hop on you. you can ask me any question that you like .....chances are that i have probably had those problems with my mag.
