I am a third party mag owner. It is currently being run on CO2. I want to change over to Nitrogen. My gun has an expansion chamber, and I can't get it off. Do I need a regulator for the gun, or can I run nitro with the ex. chamber? Thanx:confused: :confused:

You can run it as its setup. Depending on the age of the gun.. you may need to get a new HPA piston for it. I'd call agd with the Serial No. and they should be able to tell you if it was setup with a Co2 piston or the new ones made for HPA. They're like 20$
No you wouldn't need an additional reg. The A.I.R. valve is its own reg, bringing propellant pressure down to 375-400 psi. If you added another..you'd have a total of 3 regs.. one on the tank.. the external reg.. then the A.I.R. valve reg. It'd only be starving the marker at a higher ROF. The expansion chamber won't help/hurt HPA (nitro as you call it)so you can leave it on if you want. If you want to take it off.. you have to remove the body from the rail. Then on the top of the rail above the expansion chamber and vertical ASA you will find a screw. Unscrew that and the ASA and x chamber should come off. (I'd leave it on :))

the serial number should be on the silver-part of the valve.

I've never heard of anyone needing a HPA piston:confused: I wouldn't think you need one unless maybe your mag is ancient. Even then...i dunno.

If you have the stock part of the valve that you replaced i reccomend you put it back on. 3rd party parts usually dont help a mag, and it always best to stick to AGD's parts.

I don't know either Xmetal.. I do remember TK pointing it out a little on the video (I had popcorn and everything! LOL) but I think that was before the level 7 mods. Since his is a Centerfeed mag.. he already has it.. so MAGSTEVO you won't be needin the piston afterall.

you'll be much happier with nitro my friend, and in my opinion, 3 regs WONT starve the valve unless you have porn-star finger dexterity and you can even get up to that fast.
