LOL

step one. Sale your aftermarket parts...They don't do squat
step two. Sale the Vigalante(if anything, buy an expansion chamber, if not proceed to step 3)
step three. with all the money you've made, buy a nitro tank.

ok, then...

step three....buy a palmer stab. it will give you the best performance outta Co2.

Ditch the aftermarket stuff. Doesn't help you, all it does is cause problems like what you are having. That reg won't do you much good either.

Hi, Save your money and go AIR. Co2 drops alot with temperature and the speed that you shoot. Look at actionvillage.com for the best deals in air tanks 68/3000 psi air tanks were $169.00 not bad. I wouldn't use a mag with co2 it freeze's all the seals in it.
Good Luck

hmm.. he said he cant get air fills in his area.......


get rid of the ANS junk.... they dont do anything (on a good day)..... and in your case they have hurt the performance.....

if anything get a expansion chamber or a palmer stablizer.... if you run the tank on the gun... get an anti-sphyon kit set up for it.... if you run remote dont get one....

also if you run the tank on the gun.... try not to point it down to the ground... even with an anti-sphyon tank liquid co2 will make its way to the valve....

The output pressure from a CO2 tank is around 850psi. You have your regulator set to 800psi. That's only a 50 psi differential. Regualtors need about 200psi to regulate properly or they starve, which appears to be happening to you. Set the regulator to about 600psi for it to work properly on your mag. Use an anti-siphon hose if you have an ongun CO2 tank.

Sell you aftermarket ANS parts and such. They do nothing but hinder your performance.

Get an AGD level 10 bolt if you want a good bolt.

Good luck with your setup.

thanks athomas, your the first to give me some solid info. i'll try dropping the pressure on my reg. i have already removed the free-flow valve, i'm gonna try the phase 2 still, it works well on my brother-in-laws 'mag
