I've always wanted a mag so i finally picked one up via pbnation, i've searched through the forums here and found mostly "troubleshooting" threads but i'm looking for some basic information about mags, walkthroughs on assembly / disassembly, or any other information i should know. i'll definately have more questions later but i'll wait to see if there's any good links from you guys.

Retro Valve, reactive trigger setup, double finger trigger frame, powerfeed mod, not sure how to tell if it's a lvl 10 bolt cause i'd rather not stick my finger in there, i think a different sear too

The Level 10 will have a foamie (squishy) front to it.

Welcome to the family. Post some pictures when you get the chance!

Welcome to the family. Post some pictures when you get the chance!Dont check it this way. You will chop your finger off. Level 7 bolts had foamies too. ;)

the manual that should (cuz you didn't buy it new) come with your new mag is one of the best gun manuals in the world. it will tell you everything you need to know. Mags are reliable and run on 800psi input pressure. They are as accurate as any gun, and aren't hard to maintain. they require a good amount of oil but that's it. if you are looking to upgrade I would look for what sellers on AO have first. Ususally they will have things alot cheaper than places like airgun.com and actionvillage. I reccomend sellers such as dj89, MANN, and tunman. They have great reviews, wich you should always check before buying. So good luck with your mag and welcome! :cheers:

thanks for all the help and the welcome

the bolt does have the squishy front, maybe i can check by pinching a paintball before i use my finger

i'm downloading the manual now and i've checked out a few of the exploded images of different parts (very confusing and intimidating at first but i'm starting to understand it)

here's my first pic
