So as usual I have bad luck with AGD products.
You would think that this great new, fancy, shiney marker would work right out of the box, NOPE.
So here is my story:
I got my C&C on tuesday. I didn't have the right air fittings to hook her up right. So I had to wait till last night to try it out. I picked up the necessary equipment on my way home from work. Once home I hooked up the air lines and gassed her up, pulled the trigger and NOTHING (at this point the lvl 10 is running off a 1.0 carrier, mid spring and two shims). So I take off the warp breach and try to manually recock it, still nothing. So I crank up the velocity pulling the trigger. Finally it starts firing but it is venting out the back so I turn it down a little. Now it will fire every once in a while but usually needs to be manually recocked. So I read through the instructions provided for tunning lvl 10. My first attempt at a fix was to put in a longer spring. Well this seems to work well, except it started putting dents in my wooden spoon I used to test it. So I turn down the velocity while continuing to test it against the spoon. It gets to the point where it is almost soft enough to not dent the spoon, but the velocity was too low to fire the gun. So what does anybody in this situation (read as someone with a job that cannot call tech support during their normal hours because tinkering with a paintball gun at work would get you arrested) do, he calls his mag totting buddy who has already gotten a few lvl 10s up and runnings (that would be synreal). After telling syn about my dilema we decided to try going a carrier bigger and leave the mid size spring in. So after getting off the phone with syn, I threw in the 1.5 carrier with mid spring. Now the bolt is causing serious dents in my poor wooden spoon and the velocity is set at the point where turning it down will not give it enough pressure to fire, and turning it up causes venting out the back.
Here is the setup.
C&C running off a 68/4500 system X (850 psi output), on a system X on/off cradle, hooked up with macro lines. Lvl 10 set at 1.5 carrier and mid spring.
So oh wonderful AO, I give this to you to rekindle my lost love of the mag. Help me get this monster up and running so that I can once again be a mag lover.
Last year I threw in the towel and picked up a timmy and let my mag sit on the shelf. I have not had a problem with either of the timmies I now own. Both ripped straight out of the box. Thinking that the new C&C with a lvl 10 and an ACE would combine the best of both worlds, I dropped over a grand in pretty new C&C and it doesn't work.
PS I would like to use it on saturday.
