Hello everyone. Last weekend i tried to chrono my automag rt. I was shooting really high and then tuned it down to around 250. within a few shots i range from 190 to about 260 with out adjusting the marker. Mostly it shot +/- 25 fps. I tried using the gold spring instead of the red one, i had the same issue. I tried using a standard tank instead of a 950 psi tank with the same result. I made sure that the marker had oil in it. I am not sure what else to test. I am using a level 10
Thanks
My guess would be inconsistent paint size. Were you using crappy paint?
it was good paint. new from the shop, graffiti
My guess would be dirt and/or bad o-rings in the regulator part of the valve.
Dirt is the biggest cause of problems in a mag or any regulator. A piece of dirt on the regulator piston assembly can cause wild velocity swings. Clean the valve assembly and all orings.
What is the lube that i need to use in the reg? I took it apart and it has grease in it.
The regulator needs oil that is a light synthetic lubricant.Quote:

the part with the spring isnt what i should be cleaning? or the part that it screws into?
The part that needs cleaning is the inside of the regulator back and the outside of the piston assembly.
