reg seat good vs. bad

[MikeCouves]

Yeah how often should you replace the reg seat during your playing season?

[RobAGD]

Only when you have some velocity problems. I have had teh same reg seat in a gun over 2 years. It just depends.

I didn't know there was a wrong way to have the reg seat on. Looks like i'm gonna have to check it when i get home :)

I should not un-screw my reg evey day and I should hold my trigger when I air up? right? (its a level 7 mag) thanks

[BlackVCG]

Correct.

[XxoneshotxX]

A little help plz.

Can anyone tell me what the measurements are of the reg seat (ID / OD / Thickness)? I would also like to know what it is made from. I have heard they are made of EPDM, is this true?

I would be grateful for any help!

trigger in?

y do u have to hold the trigger in when u gas????

[MikeCouves]

Yeah can someone fill me in on WHY. I always tell mag toters to hold the trigger in when gassing up, they look at me like I just kicked their marker or something...

Isn't it so it's easy on the seals? So when you let off the trigger when all the gas is in, it will be just like letting off the trigger after shooting?

[rikkter]

mainly for the seals. so they can sit in correct and all that. then when you realease. it would operate like usal, like filling the chamber up etc

[Dayspring]

Does that apply to all mags? RT and Emag? Cuz I've never done it in the year or so I've had the gun.

[TheJester]

well i've taken my halves apart a couple times, quiet a few actually, but i've never had any problems w/ the reg seat, i used to check it alot when i was using Co2, to keep it clean, and it seems to be fine still, i don't do it as much now i'm using nitro so why is it bad to take it apart?. but in terms of holding the trigger, i think it's just easier on the gun, cause the gun thinks it's just cycleing, not all of a sudden getting thrown into place

[rikkter]

my guess is it just makes your seals last longer. and unscrewing and rescrewing the reg part will cause different punctures in the regseat, and eventually make it wear out quicker.
dayspring: my guess is yes because the valves are all pretty much the same. so yeah it would apply to all mags.

[Demobilized]

will my gun just absoulutely suck it up, if i dont replace the reg seat? I was cleaning it for the firsttime today and following the insturctions by Black, i neglected to see that i was removing the reg seat. But anyways i was planning on playing next weekend then when i came home clean it and replace it.

[Mag_SEAL-6]

i have an RT Pro, had it for 2 years and my friend thinks the reg seat is malfunctioninfg or something because when I gas it up, it fires once or sometimes twice and excess air shoots out of the back of the valve. when it was brand new the very first time I gassed it up, this happened. it scared the crap outta me, and it shot this smelly dark junk, most likely oil, out of the alan wrench hole where you adjust the velocity. no one's posted here in a long time, but any ideas? oh, the input is a normal 800 or 850 from a crossfire 3k preset. thanks

i was just wonderin if the reg. seat o-ring is supposed to be loose on the piston?
