On my emag, I run the stainless steel hose forward and next to the battery. I have a keychain ring through the pin and around the hose. When I take out the pin, I just let the keychain ring hang down at the bottom until it's time to put the pin back in. Works great for me.

Yep I had a little keychain thing tied around my macro line. I never lost mine.

I have mine on a very small split ring, and on that small "dog tag" ball chain. I run the macroline thru the chain. I use to have mine on a leash from a HPA dust cap nipple attached to the macroline.

Same as Halliday. I keep it on a line from a dust cap nipple and let it hang when I play.

I use 2 keychains linked together through the yellow pin and the other end through the stainless hose from thr drop forward to the valve of the gun.

I don't keep one in with the X mag at the moment as I just use the switch on it right now... but in the past I always kept a plastic coil leash like one you would put on your fill nipple to keep up with it. I would attach it to the air line (the ring that normaly attches to the nipple can be put through Macro or even SS line if you open it up some) and let it dangle there when not in use. I have also used the ring part of a key ring and strung it on the air line too and let it dangle down when not in use.

I dunno... that's why I lose them. Although right now I have more yellow pins than EMags, and I don't know how that happened.

I had a small keyring through the yellow pin, a black little springy curly cord, then a small washer that I put over the hole in battery back. Then, I screw on the field strip screw so it gets held in place right near the hole for the yellow pin, and also is very well in place.

I don't, my SFL Emag has a switch... Thanks AGD for the extra milling a year ago when it was in for service.

Anyways... just drill a hold in teh end of the yellow pin, if u dont already have one, and put a key chain ring through it or something... or string... heh

I have no life and pretty much spent one whole day thinking and getting the right parts. My goal was to not have the pin swaying everywhere, and I do not have my hose running by the battery. Basically I ended up using a keychain holder thing(office stores sell them!), then an electrical ring connector that goes where the battery screw goes in. I also got just the perfect size key rings to minimize movement and noise! I know I am pathetic (the wife thought so to, on my multiple trips to office and home depot!!!)

I've got my pin attached to this -

I just put it in my pocket and it's big enough to not get lost. Plus it looks pretty darn cool. :) (The ribbon is about twice as long as the emag battery itself)

A couple of crimp connectors, a bit of wire, some heat shrink....et voila! :)

I really like the way there is no possibility of scratching the mag on Gadgets, I actually took some of my idea from him!

I have this hole in my nose from doing too much coke. When I take the pin out, I just stick it in my nose. :rolleyes:

That heat shrink tubing and wire idea looked the nicest out of all of the ideas. Me and my friends that own EMags have golf tees laying all over b/c most of us lost our pins and the tees work good. This one guy I know actually sticks his pin through a pretty large hole in his ear lobe.
