Is your velocity too low? Turn it up. Is your reg seat messed up? Replace it. Are you using aftermarket parts? Loose them? Is there something blocking the flow? Fix it. Take your gun all apart and clean all the seals, then put some oil in the asa and dry fire it like 30 times. Check your valve pin and spring. There might be some teflon tape in there or something.

Well, which sound are you refering to? The sound of each shot, or the weaker sound it makes in the middle of your string? The sound of each shot sounds weak, which would be called farting. The weak shot in the middle of the string is called short stroking. Do what MAGS own YOU suggested and then report back.

Bingo, triangels must point up. Have the same valve and had the same problem, you should have told me you where using aftermarket parts in the first place..

Try cleaning your hoses, if you use Co2 then dirt that might have been in the tank might have gotten lodged in in the hoses and is chokeing your mag.

Just buy an automag/minimag parts kit, it comes with a few of every O-ring and 2 nubins and a bolt spring and bumper, just replace ever O-ring, make sure your Power tube spacer and Power tube O-ring are at the very bottom of the power tube. Then, oil the outside of the power-tube so that the bolt can slide freely.

it just goes to show you aftermarket is not better. I hope your gun is flawless now. people around hear will harsh on you for after market parts. I got it bad for using an ans venturi bolt in my mag.

what does a free flow valve do? OR what is it supposed to do?

MAGS own YOU

Increase flow rate, give the trigger a stifer realese. The typical after market stuff. I like mine, it actually worked.

GallagherAtWar

what you mean gives the trigger a stifer release?

Cool my mag does that! Not well, but i do feel it! cool!

i was on the AGD store and it said not to replace the on/off top (the thing in the on/off valve thats brass looking) with aftermaket parts, why?

BlackVCG

Because it's a precision machined part that if made improperly will cause shootdown and possibly other problems. Aftermarket parts generally don't hold tolerances within the acceptable limit for ANY gun so that's why most aftermarket parts are worse or just as good as stock parts in most cases. It would help if you just bought the AGD on/off top and used that. If anything, it will make the gun work better and you don't have to worry about putting it in the right way.
