newbie mag question

[jairus]

i took my mag apart oiled(i used a 3and1 oil) the o-rings ect..and put it back together when i shot it it shot fullauto(its wasnt befor i oiled it):( .. then i ran out of air. Is it normal for mags to shoot fullauto when running out of air or did i mess something up oiling it?

i'd go get my hpa tank filled up but my local pb store isnt open on mondays

micromag Xvaule

Do not use 3 in 1 oil. It is petroleum based oil. it will (and probably did) ruin all the O-rings in the gun. Get some paintball-specific oil (I like Gold Cup Oil)

I suggest you take some time, and download the instruction manuals from the AGD website. read through them. there's a lot of valuable info that you need to know about your Mag...you might want to order a repair kit (with all the O rings) while you're at it.

Did you put the sear back in? Did you have any left over parts at all? ;)

BTW - Where do you live? My shop isn't open on Mondays either...

befor i oiled my mag i was reading up on oils and http://www.paintballtimes.com/oil.htm said " A typical 3-in-1 oil will work fine " is the 3in1 oil really that bad for my gun?

[jairus]

i never took the sears out i just pulled the trigger(like the manual says) and then pulled everything out as a whole oiled it and put it back in didnt really take it apart much

i live in NJ

Hmm, interesting article, Sami Khan, the author of that diatribe, also speaks of the use of K-Y Jelly as a paintball lubricant. I wonder what that boy does in his spare time! :eek:

I don't think 3 in 1 oil is the best oil to use for a paintball gun. It tends to thicken as the temprature drops (especially if you are using CO2), which is never a good thing.
