This is one of the reasons why I love mags so much

Those Hardlines on your finger print nightmare are king, one of the sweetest classics out there.

I love hardline. There's no chance of it busting in your face like Macroline does every now and then, plus it looks so sleek.

I haven't had a macroline burst on me so far.

I've had a couple come to me in similar condition, those old gear bag scores are nice when you find them.

I haven't had a macroline burst on me so far.

I have had some macroline explode right near my eye at 1200 psi. I was not phased

That's one hell of an expansion chamber

A fellow teammate told me that a friend of his gave him an old Mag that has been sitting in a gearbag for the past 10 years. He gassed it up and leaked severly. I told him to bring it over.

This is what he brought:


I gassed it up and air was gushing out of the ASA, braided lines and breach. So I opened it up. Nasty!


Thankfully I had spare o-rings and bolt springs. The metal trigger frame was a good sign that this was a very old model and I assumed it was a Level 5 or 6 bolt. This was confirmed when I removed the powertube tip, as I didn't find a brass spacer, but rather a spring. The o-rings had lost their elasticity and were brittle. I replaced all of them, gave the valve, bolt, rail and body a good scrub and reassembled the marker. Added macroline and gassed it up.

It now shoots like a champ!

Gotta love AGD durability. Even left dirty for a decade, this thing still rips!
