Okay, I know its a stupid question, but where can I learn about how autocockers work and how to work on them and fix them on the field? I've always liked mags and will probobly go back to one after I tinker with a cocker, but I sold mine because it doesn't break enough and half of the fun for me at least is taking it apart and fixing it. My Timmy wouldn't break either, so I decided to get a Black Magic 2k2 cocker. I have never owned a cocker, so even the most basic information will be helpful, thanks :)

I learned Autocockers quicker than I did mags, which I'm still learning. They are both great guns but it seems like a Cocker is more like a 70's V8 engine were parts seem pretty big, external, and easy to diagnose problems. Where as the Mag is more like a Ferrari, compact, internal, and somewhat a mystery as to how to adjust and fix! I'm sure you'll do fine! :)

lol, I'm pretty sure I can trouble shoot my mag on the fly, done it on countless times, comes from taking apart the valve a couple of times and learning what is happening. The thing is with cockers, they have something like 100+ moving parts or so I'm told. dunno if thats more than I bargined for :D

Is there even 100 parts on a cocker! It's much easier than you think, it must be if I figured it out;) Start reading and learn the order of how things work on a cocker. You'll have it figured out in a couple of days!

cocker is easy to take care of as well. Timing is not bad, and if you lock tighten all the screws down when it is adjusted, it is as reliable as mags. (I have ule emag, pump mag. sydarm coming, while I have one custom cocker, so you know where my royalty is. but my cocker and blazer is very gas efficient. my cocker will get close to a case per tank fill, while my emag gets little over half that)

Notice how he wants to learn how to fix them and not play with them because they ALWAYS break down on the field.

Save yourself the trouble and stick with a LEVEL 10 X-VAlved ULE Mag.

Don't go there unless your want your mind brainwashed with all this talk about "fockers."

air-powered and the cocker forums in pbnation are the only place I recommend to visit.
